Complainant Nicholas Almeida had moved the court against the movie and its director Danny Boyle on January 23 for a change in its title Slumdog.
The magistrate on Tuesday also issued notices to Boyle, producer of the movie Christian Colson and distributors Warner Bros Pictures. The complainant had sought a change in the title on the grounds that it is “defamatory” and is “completely against society”.
The complainat in his petition said that the name of the film is derogatory and leaves a very bad influence on the minds of the slum children and would “create hatred against poor slum-dwellers in the minds of established and capitalist people.” The court on Tuesday directed the police to investigate whether the movie hurts the sentiments of slum-dwellers and file the report.
