Directing was awesome, acting was fresh, and the soundtrack is pretty good too...listening to it now. I hope it gets some more mainstream exposure before the year is out.

Funny, Howard Stern was saying how much he liked that movie too.

Might have to check it out.

about the soundtrack, does it sound like other typical indian music?

"Bollywood musical number during the closing credits"

aside from that though, its not at all your typical indian movie soundtrack (mostly because its not a bollywood movie).

I was excited to see it, but was disappointed after seeing it this weekend. It was okay, entertaining. Many parts dragged on, and the whole thing about connecting his knowledge of the answers to his life story didn't really work that well. Too contrived.

Was Frieda Pinto nude? If not, I think I will pass.

dude, there are NO nude pics of Frieda Pinto.

she's a star in India. Any flesh = her career is over.

besides, the teenager that played her was hotter :Q
