Btw, that scene was a dig on Americans ellAm rombba over-u.. There are two parts to the scene. If the money thingi was not convincing enough, the lady asking the driver to stop beating the boys should be.

The word 'money'. Anyway, I don't find that convincing too.

Nerd,
When I say that the scene confirms to the happenings at that point, this is what I meant: Jamal's survival as a tour guide depends entirely on the gullibility of the tourists. It is also this gullibility that adds humour to that part of the story arc. So, the American couple's offer of money fits this general depiction of tourists. Viewers might find the scene funny precisely because they know that the arrogant 'this is American' nature of the couple is being exploited (the perspective that even a thief needs to be compensated in a third world country for violation of his human rights is in a way indicative of that arrogance and condescension).

Sathyajit Ray had won an Oscar for lietime achievement. Banu Athaiyya is the first Indian to win the Oscars. ARR was the third I think.

I personally thot that this movie is seriously over hyped. I mean..it's a good movie and all, and i'm happy that india is getting the recognition, but this movie is soo overhyped. I mean, when movies like Rang De Basanthi didn't even get 1/4th the recognition that this did...it just feels like a lot of hype and hoopla.
