I just came home from Promenade Greenhills. Mich, Faith, and myself watched the last full show of Slumdog Millionaire and OMG – this is the bomb! Watching it redeemed the epic failure which was Dragon Ball Evolution. I won’t go through a full movie review on this one but let me just say that this movie really deserved all the awards it got during the Academy Awards. The theme song, Jai Ho, is also stuck in my head. Can’t get it out of my mind, haha. Find out what’s the meaning of Jai Ho after the break.
JAI HO MEANING
In translation, the title means “Freedom to Thee”. It can also mean “Praise”, “Hail” or “Hallelujah”. When translated directly into hindi, “jai” means “prayer” or “pray.” “Jai ho” is usually said collectively during and at the end of prayers. The lyrics are mostly in Hindi, Urdu and Punjabi interspersed with some Spanish lyrics.[5] Rahman, who performed “Jai Ho” live on The Oprah Winfrey Show on February 23, 2009 with the rest of the original performers, was asked by Winfrey what the song title means. A.R. Rahman then stated “Jai Ho” means “May Victory be Yours”.
Here’s the music video of PSD for their adaptation of Jai Ho. Enjoy!

I usually wait for these kinds of movies to show on HBO or until somebody lends me a DVD. I don’t watch drama in the cinemas. I’m a Sci-fi, Fantasy, and Action genre kind of cinemagoer. If a movie is ever going to change that, Slumdog Millionaire, might be it. If it’s still showing this weekend (and I’m sure it will be), I’ll go see it.

I’ve seen it a couple of weeks ago. Pretty good. The film shows a very good lesson — at least to me it did.
