I agree with the combination of traditional Indian and modern music. Love the soundtrack! Just an overall beautiful story. Great movie indeed!

Thanks for the perspective from India. You're right about the child actors -- they deserve some serious accolades. And Pinto was a minor role in the end... her presence was always there as the woman of Jamal's dreams, but as an actress, she didn't spend nearly as much screen time as Jamal. Good points!

While the movie deals with the gory details of the underbelly of Mumbai, it doesnt really leave you with a sick feeling. The story feels like a commentary and at the end you just feel good about the whole movie. Very well done I must say. The music score by Rehman is amazing, the actors who played junior Jamal and Salim were the real stars. They were simply too good. I thought Freida Pinto was overhyped. I think she had just 15 mins of screen presence in the whole movie. Boyle has really done a good job with this movie.
