After seeing Slumdog,I was left wondering,What the heck.The movie is no masterpiece.The story,the direction,the acting every thing is strictly okay.Danny Boyle could have shot the movie in a clean slum,but chose to disgrace India,by deliberately showing,everything negative about India and Indians.Yet our own movie makers only show the best side of England wherever they shoot.The public toilets in London has shit spilling onto the roads,yet we respect them by not showing the seedier side of England.Where were the Indians when this movie was being shot in Dharavi.The Indian crew and actors are gloating over this movie.Danny Boyle should be barred from India forever.He will have to deal with the curse of the Indians for the rest of his life.
Ultimate disgrace to Indians. Danny Boyle has succeeded in classifying Indians as dogs and India a third class third world country. These brits have no remorse - all that loot has gone to their heads. Poverty porn still sells.
