Not as great as expected

With the hype, the raves, the awards... I was expecting a masterpiece. On the one hand, the look at Mumbai's underbelly, the kids, the music and the camera work were excellent. On the other, all the characters are one-dimensional and the script is mediocre. The part of Latika has to be the worst female role in a long time. You never find out who she really is, or why exactly Jamal loves her so. She did shut the door in his face to be with his brother but then she's the only girl he has ever met. The story is not believable, as it is made up of a string of coincidences; this would be fine if the movie was presented as a fairy tale, but it looks as if it tries to be realistic. This is not a comedy by any stretch.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
