Sure, this is fringe Bollywood, not stereotypical of the genre, but you do realize that the Bo is from Bombay, right? To say this isn't Bollywood is like saying Crouching Tiger wasn't HK cinema. It wasn't in the classical sense. It's the next gen.
Exactly which Bollywood films have you seen?
Best 3rd World film since Tsotsi Like Tsotsi, I loved the grittiest and the soundtrack - great usage of MIA, of whom I have mentioned elsewhere and I'm a huge fan, although Paper Planes is getting overplayed in film. Being a closet Bollywood fan and having spent time in Mumbai, this Slumdog really struck home with me. What a brilliant film.
