Aamir Khan has publicly said that the multiple ‘Slumdog Millionaire' didn't impress him too much.

He had said, "I have seen 'Slumdog' and the film didn't work for me."

It almost seems that it's a case of sour grapes for the actor whose ambitious ‘Taare Zameen Par' didn't make it to the Oscar nomination list this year. His much acclaimed ‘Lagaan' couldn't win in the best foreign film category in 2002 too.

But he still doesn't want people to think otherwise as he praises the Oscar wins by the Indians -two for music maestro A R Rahman and Best Sound Mixing for India's Resul Pookutty.

He's said, "This is my personal view. I can understand why the film is being appreciated around the world because outside India people see it with a lot of fascination and feel quite engaged to the story. But for someone who lives here, the film goes over the top. Nevertheless, I am very happy that the people like the movie."

He's also said, "I am thrilled to know that Resul has won the award. He is very talented guy, it is amazing and a very proud moment for all of us."

Aamir also added, "It's great to see that Indian talent is getting recognised abroad. Now the world has seen the work done by Indians. Resul is extermely meticulous and everytime tries to create fresh sounds. He really loves and enjoys his work and does it with a lot dedication."

Mr. Perfectionist also is a great diplomat, must say.
