The movie was awesome and it deserved it :)
And three cheers to A.R.Rahman for bagging two oscars.
Slumdog deserves it
It is a really great movie :)
Definitely up there with my top 10 movies of all time. I hope that more movies come out like it but I doubt that any movie could ever touch me like Slumdog did.
