"Slumdog- Millionaire depicts India's gloomy picture"

[prince2594]

May be... But the reality is probably worse....

whizk ...it isnt the only picture of india potrayed in the movie man..

and this debate doesnt really make sense cuz if u notice tht more than half of the second half is shot in hiranandani for crying out loud and that's not a poor depiction of india at all...they got the best looking buildings in the city for crying out loud...and i live there and i sure know im not looked at as a gloomy picture..

it's just that in the movie they've showed a person's life story from where he's been to where he is..so deal with it .....and just for the record the whole part about the beggars and everything is quiete true.

what about other movies that show only the crappy parts we still whistle and watch them ryt ...so why raise a debate only when a movie gets acknowledged.

i hate pointless criticism , it's a very well made movie and that's just the way it is.
and the person who pointed out that he didnt like the script...i respect ur opinion but may i jusk ask which movie's script have u liked . in general...so i know what ur comparing it with.

the movie is all about luck and that too by chance
but everyone is not lucky

[madronny]

yoo ,, its a gud movie.
the director of this movies really deserves awards.

[shailendra joshi]

it is not roght. whatever it is showing is real portrayal of ppl who live in mumbai slums. ppl think that hollywood is more interesting in showing darker side of India, but it is not completely true. it shows darker side of theor own cities too.

[rushforrush2006]

true...this movie concentrates on the poverty and misery of india.

[yummy1984]

It doesnt seems that movie tried to smear the image of India, It is just a story of boy 'Jamal' n his journey of being a millionaire...it just a co-incidence that the story is based in india....The director nor the story has the intention of appalling india's image...

Y dont we indians accept the proverty prevailing in mumbai...its true...the movie is not depicting true india..but the fact has too be faced...lets peek outside the locals of mumbai n look at the children begging outside n the slums that we have n if a foreigner directing the movie..i think people like amitabh bacchan is not able to digect that fact...

inspite of commenting on this movie...we should try to change our country..so that people coming from west should not portray our poverty n dirt (we dont have anything else to show...now ...)but will our culture, thus change their opinoins of US....

[neeraj_agn]

I do agree that it does portray a gloomy picture of India.what's uncomforting is that something like this is still selling like hot cakes.

[ashusharma]

As I saw this movie, Its show the reality of the India. But there is no issue on this movie because when we are not able to protest against real picture So why we are make issue on artificial movie.

hello there,

I think the purpose of opening up a topic for discussion in the Debate section here, is to know individuals views about an issue, and not give opinions to others views. I think u need to go back to the main page and read the subject again.

It will be appreciated if u keep it Professional.....ManagementParadise's debate column is not meant to disparage someone personally. dont mix up this column with any routine commentary blogs.

and thnx for informing that some parts where shot at Hiranandani, the place where u stay.
