Today is Slumdog’s day. So, let us bring you yet another news. The man in Ayatullah Khomeini’s hit list, Salman Rushdie, today spoke to a section of people in the US about the movie.
He, while addressing a gathering at Emory University, Atlanta, mentioned that that the movie contained a “pile of impossibility”. He complained about several scenes portraying much impossibility. He was specific about the boy’s jumping into a kind of filth and the characters surfacing at the Taj Mahal which is hundreds of miles away from the previous scene. He did not spare even other Oscar winners who adapted the stories form “The Reader” and “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”.
This author of “Satanic Verses” today played a devil’s advocate.
