So it's a little surprising that it's taken me this long to finally see it. Only not really.
Because it affected me just the way that I thought it would. It depressed the hell out of me. I should have just watched the big dance number at the end. It's the only part I enjoyed. Jai Ho, indeed.
This movie is like Forrest Gump, if everywhere that Forrest went people tortured and abused and starved him. He even has his "Jenny."
It was like some kind of twisted nightmarish fairy tale. And they all lived happily ever after.

Ha! Agreed. I saw this last night and wasn't as wowed as I thought I'd be. Even the happy ending is a downer, because of all the crap he and Latika both had to go through just to, what, finally meet on a train platform for a late night rave/music video? Where's the revenge? Where's the comeuppance?
yeah - i was talking to friends about wanting to see it the other night and they were all "NOOO! so depressing! kid is tortured and treated horribly for almost the whole movie!!!"
it's still in my queue though.
Did you see Benjamin Button? It's Forrest Gump all over again.
