SlumDog by Indian on 25 Feb 2009

i agree nothing is wrong with the movie 'slumdog Millionaire' India was potrayed, the way it is now. I ask you guys, all the critics of the movie are also millionaires, What are they doing to improve this image of our country. It is easy to talk and criticise behind the millions, Do you plan to make the image of our present country more positive than to whine about it.

Nothing wrong with Slumdog movie? by indian12345 on 24 Feb 2009

Well i think its fine. No one can deny what is shown is wrong. The slum life is quite visible when someone walks in from another country. In one way it could be a blessing in disguise for a better change. I think its time to stop taking the slum life for granted and politicians and people should take steps for betterment of life of these people. Does anyone care?

Really pathetic by c_hsakarp on 24 Feb 2009

It can only happen in India. Someone comes in and makes a film that reinforces old stereotypes to an international audiences, and even our government takes pride in that. India is truly a pathetic nation. Our people dont even understand that the joke was on us.

Slundog. by Mohan on 25 Feb 2009

Please get a life. It is only a movie. One thing good comes out of this that those kids will have a wonderful life.
