Salaam Bombay! (1988) by Mira NairStill considered today the best of Mira Nair’s work, I meant to see this movie ages ago and the fact that I saw Slumdog Millionnaire on release but that I had yet to see the “real deal” kept bothering me. Now that it’s done, I can confirm what I suspected all that time, i.e. Salaam Bombay! feels like a genuine and moving piece of Mumbai street life, whereas Slumdog is sweet and entertaining but forgettable fluff.
