Some of them do. Typically movie reviews in the West do not focus as much on the music (background score) of the movie except if they are musicals, as it is in India. Further, ARR is not a household name in those parts of the world. At least, not yet and hope this is the turning point :-)

Too good to be true?Certainly "Slumdog Millionaire" sticks. The film, adapted by screenwriter Simon Beaufoy ("The Full Monty," "Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day") from Vikas Swarup's best seller, follows an orphan boy played by three different actors, most prominently Dev Patel as a young man. Jamal, the protagonist, is sweating out a rough police interrogation the night before he risks 20 million rupees in potential winnings on the Hindi version of "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire?" Jamal is a national hero, a rags-to-riches fairy tale incarnate. But is he a fraud? The police believe he is. Surely this "slumdog" couldn't possibly possess such wide-ranging knowledge, relating to who's on the U.S. $100 bill or who invented the revolver. For each question Jamal answers on camera, while millions hold their breath, another chapter of a fantastically resilient life is revealed by way of flashback. Boyle's previous films include "Trainspotting," "Millions" and "Sunshine," and this, I suspect, will be his biggest hit to date. It opens in America Nov. 28. The key to enjoying this picture lies in the end-credits sequence, a Bollywood-style dance number featuring the entire cast. The entire film asks to be interpreted this way: as a Bollywood pileup of extreme emotions and picaresque adventures. http://www.chicagot ribune.com/ features/ lifestyle/ chi-toronto- 0908sep08, 0,3062082. story -- regards, Vithur ARR -- The Sweet Cube always
