Don't think Slumdog Millionaire was about the money - it was a low budget movie. It's really just down to luck of the draw... the problem is the attachment of the Boss to a movie before it is made helps to raise finance. How can the Boss know how the film will turn out after it's been completed. ? --- In [email protected], Vinayakam Murugan <mvinaya...@...> wrote: > > Check out Ha Reham and Hashar Bashar from Aamir, > > Amit Trivedi is a very promising MD > > On 10/17/09, V S Rawat <vsra...@...> wrote: > > On 10/17/2009 1:17 PM India Time, _balajirajagopal_ wrote: > > > >> My personal view is that this is a very "convenient" and unfair > >> comment to make.
