I won't go into the usual fawning that most articles give it since this movie too fits into a pattern.
That of the Westerner's obsession with India's squalor and poverty.
To support my theory, go watch/read any of the following which have achieved acclaim in the West while not claiming those heights inside of India.
- Apu Trilogy by Satyajit Ray
- Salaam Bombay by Mira Nair
- Shantaram by Gregory Roberts - English fiction novel (parts of it use crazy English)
- White Tiger by Aravind Adiga, 2008 Booker Prize - English fiction novel (atrocious English)
