Overall "Slumdog Millionaire" works exceptionally well as a frenzied and largely heartless narrative of Mumbai's slum life if one disregards some contrivances.

All the talk of 'poverty porn' and the obsession with garbage and faeces is frankly just that - crap. While not nearly a masterpiece, Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire dares to go into places we don't - yet it remains a film pulsating with life and hope.
