I would like 2 tell my friends here that the slums shown in the movie slumdog millionaire is not a hollywood studio.The cameraman just took his camera through the actual slums of mumbai.Most of the people here do not want to accept the reality.They are happy watching some Karan Johar movies where life is colourful.And let me tell u, mumbai is no newyork.More than 50% of the population reside in slums.Has anyone noticed the street urchins who come and knock at the windows of cars and other beggars.Nobody cares to look into their lives .Everyone should understand that Danny Boyle hasnt shown anything unreal in Slumdog Millionaire.Most of the tourists come to the city not because it has some wonderful spots like Paris.Slums are those which attract them.the political parties and BMC should do their best to remove slums and improve their living conditions.Guys,just accept that you people donot want to watch some hard hitting reality.Not beacause the movie is bad.

I do not understand how the people like you can dare to talk like that.In spite of criticizing the movie which makes fun of Indians you are talking totally absurd.What do you think there are no slums in America or England?If you think so you have are living in a shell and does not know the reality.This film just made the fun of Indian people.In spite of showing the rich Indian culture and heritage this film has made fun of India.So,guys boycott it.
