A lot of it seemed to me like a cheap way to pull the viewer in emotionally, too.

Bluntly put, this movie partly feeded off the world's sympathy and empathy for the Mumbai attacks in November '08. Anyone who knows India the way India is, would straightaway condemn this pic as being too cliched and grossly misrepresentative.
I dare say it might win the Oscar for the same reason above.
Too late, the damage has been done. People of the world continue to have a cock-eyed view of India, thanks to this flick and its immense popularity.
And too bad, because there are WAY better HINDI flicks than this one which never got the world's attention (because they werent released worldwide, and restricted to domestic BO), and which rightfully deserve an Oscar for Best Pic, in many more ways than one.
