"Slumdog- Millionaire depicts India's gloomy picture" - January 27th, 2009

I strongly felt movie has tried to portray a gloomy reality of India to a great extent. Ironically India is a land of extremes, the site of children begging on traffics is very appalling. It seems these children can be the budding faces of Future India. The kind of life they are forced to maintain, given the circumstances, is really not justified.

Well, according to your opinion has the movie tried to smear the image of India????

I think this film is produced not to smear India. It's about another thing. Love, relationships. If u see only smear probably u need to digg into yourself.

hello there.... there's no question of, I taking this issue personally, First of all, the point here is the Cultural sensitivity of a country needs to be taken care of. The film has won a slew of awards, yet the eminent filmstar Amitabh Bachan has criticized the film. Second thing....Danny Boyle has repackaged India's poverty and sold it to the Western audiences. Indians feel that despite the huge advances the country has made in all spheres, the West is still hooked to the notion of India as the land of snake charmers, is very reflective in the film, if one has kept eyes wide open while watching it !!1

no offence meant but you should leave your analytical abilities when you go to watch a movie... we're very proud that you have them but movies are meant to entertain not potray or showcase countries in good or bad light.

if you think that slumdog stereotypes india into a bunch of snake charmers and slum dwellers you might want to take a walk through rural india where as aptly quoted by Gandhi is where the real India lives.

I agree bout the one track potrayal of india in the west could be possible but then those who matter know what India's all about ... no country is perfect and the movie has picked up one of our greatest drawbacks and turned it into an experience , i think the movie's been brilliantly made and all the hype and hoo-haa around the movie is completely justified. I'll be rooting for them during the oscars ...... why ? cuz i liked the movie , it made me smile , end of story , dont dwell very deep into something that's quiete shallow or you'll hurt your nose. again.. no offence intended .
