If you haven't watched Slumdog Millionaire yet, here's another review making you a believer that it is an awesome movie:The film isn't perfect and it's an oddity to have a director from a nation that imposed its colonial might on India somehow putting a form of Bollywood on the map.
But the story is so charming and such a wonderful celebration of the underdog it can be forgiven its shortcomings - such as the awkwardness of its non-linear structure and the deadpan tone of lead Dev Patel's acting.
Films that take risks and succeed are to be commended. Technology in filmmaking now allows studios and directors to enter almost any story or world, no matter how fantastical.
But the bottom line of a great film is always a compelling story. And Slumdog Millionaire has all the right elements: humour, tragedy, romance, tension, heroism. Source
Here's the Slumdog trailer:

I like her! She was fierce in Slumdog Millionaire.
I can't look too closely though. Something about her brings scary ass Thandie Newton to mind and I'd rather not have that thought.

Is she really full blooded Indian. Don't mean to sound arrogant but girls that looks like this are always half Indian.

what do you mean holly? she is full blooded indian. indians dont all look a certain way. ive noticed that white people oftentimes try to "claim" gorgeous women of color as one of their own but suggesting they are half or whatever. freida pinto got her name because the portuguese were in Goa, India for several years. she is not part portuguese but full blooded indian with a portuguese name. just like in other parts of south india where people are full blooded indian but have "christian" names like paul and sarah etc.

What are you talking about lol? Half Indian-half white mixes look nothing like Freida. Norah Jones? Sabine Singh? Nikki Bedi?

She's a stunning actress, period. Most indian women are beautiful. The actress from the 'Pink Panther 2' has nothing on beautiful Freida, you go girl!
