top. five. films. of. 2008.

The utterly foreign desperation in what was Mumbai’s inner city slums juxtaposed against the utterly superficial world of lights, cameras and the chance to win millions of dollars for answering a question perfectly collides in this film.

At times horrific, at times sweet (almost too saccharine), and at all times engaging, you cannot help but feel Something in this epic event.

As a cynic, a hater and a sometimes manipulator, even I can see the sweetness in a story as far-fetched as this.

Go. Now. I’ll hold your coat.
