the brilliant script and the way its taken combining a reality show and a person's real life experiences.
As for TZP not making the cut, in India, it might have been a unique concept which has never been touched before but in america there are and have been several moves made to show such kind of movies.
Also the way they showed hostel life esp boarding school life gave a total wrong impression evident when aamir came as a guest in srgmp and several people spoke abt how they as a parent felt so bad leaving their kids in boarding schools and after seeing the movie borught them back, thats ridiculous and a complete wrong picture and understanding of the movie.
as for SD, hope it wins many oscars, I am rooting for it , go SD
Brilliant Script.... can point out n no. of loopholes in the script. Good camera-work ....no doubt about that, kids' street-smart acting(which our Indian directors rarely exploit or they don't want to) and the story-telling is fast, other than that comparing SDM and TZP, TZP scores ahead.
Surely will be happy for ARR if he wins. But for the movie, if it is going to win, it will for the SLUM TREATMENT given to the movie.
