this is just so ridiculous that we are amused by ourselves being called a slum-dog. I was listening an interview with the director of this movie, and he told that all the protests in India are just because their movie is getting famous and actually does not use dog in a derogatory sense. Would he then please tell the viewers, what does slum-dog actually mean and why at all is it there in the name? Just because it is made by a gora director about poor Indian people, it is getting so much popularity? Why was there not even a single nomination to Tar Jameen Par or Lagaan? Don't British have got extremely poor people living in their home country who are pathetically crazy about playing lotto and hoping to earn a jackpot some day. Why don't they make a movie on that theme. Rehman might have gotten Oscar, which he is very much capable of, but why now??
