Ibtisam Posted January 23, 2009 it is very sad film Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Serenity- Posted January 23, 2009 Surprisingly enjoyable film. Really enjoyed watching it. I think most Somalis will like this film, as they are so tuned to the whole bollywood scene Sad storyline like Ibs mentioned, but from the way it was shot, it didnt aim to pull at your heart strings every step of the way. It has lots of exciting and anxious moments. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gheelle.T Posted January 23, 2009 It was nominated for 10 Oscar nominations and probably will win half of those. The young British Indian actor is amazing. He got potential in Hollywood I say! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aaliyyah Posted January 23, 2009 oh my god what a coincident, I was bored the other day. So I went to some indian store beside my house and I got that movie. When I came home I got busy and ended up not watching it. And, I haven't watched it since...It's still in my desk. now that you all like it, am gonna go watch it. But, whats up with sad ending, I thought indian movies end happily ever after salaam.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You sure got this movie"the slumdog millionaire" from that Indian store?? woow it must be a bootleg version of the movie then..I think the movie is still playing in theaters and haven't been released in DVD.. Even though you can watch it online"illegally ofcourse" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chimera Posted January 23, 2009 ^Bollywood movies have their world wide premieres in Indian stores after that they hit the silver screen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gheelle.T Posted January 23, 2009 Adam, this is an English movie. The story line as well as the actors are Indian or Indian origin. It was also shot in India, but the movie has nothing to do with Bollywood. In fact it is banned in India all together. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chimera Posted January 23, 2009 One of the actors was carrying a secret camera throughout the production period, this is why Aaliyah got a hold of the movie so fast, she is in on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BOB Posted January 23, 2009 I watched 7 Pounds couple of weeks ago and to be honest I was disappointed…now the last three movies of Will Smith were joke from I am Legend, Hancock and now this 7 pound where we have a dog that’s vegetarian! The last movie of his that I really enjoyed was Pursue Of Happyness. I haven’t seen this movie yet because I thought it was just another Indian movie and I can’t stand Indian movies...so maybe I should get it tomorrow Insha Allah. Peace, Love & Unity.
