  • Bollywood needs to get their head out of the gutter, sumdog type movies will never gain success in india REGARDLESS of whether a white or brow director made it. truth is that people in india don't want to see their reality, that's why most bollywood movies are the happy go lucky fairy tale like stories. Bollywood tries to blind the public of seeing the actual reality that they live in.

  • IT seems like I am watching DESI America. You Indians have basically converted your culture into American culture. TRY TO MAKE SOMETHING THAT IS YOURS.

  • @hashimotto really?what about you spanish cunts?What about Shakira and Enrique.....why are they only famous when they sing english songs?

    Indians are getting westernised,some are starting to dress like westerners,some are making accents

    But our movies depict out own traditional culture,mixed a little with western clothes and english.

  • @mpingola whats with the language huh looks like u have been sucking too many slimy cum cocks.

  • @hashimotto haha looks like you finally crossed the border into america and started making some burritos and salsa.

    Ill order 1 burrito,2 plate of nachos and a tequila.

    Now get to work amigo!

  • @hashimotto Spanish dont even make movies,okay..maybe local ones.....I think you should try to make some movies to release worldwide instead of making salsa and burritos.

  • We are living in the illusion of Bollywood. Slumdog brought focus to Mumbai's under belly. It created dialogue about the poor and unprivileged. Most of Bollywood capitalizes on wishful thinking of the average Indian dealing with topics such as wealth, love and fame. People are getting caught up with the image. The truth is India is a third world country and it is in your hands and mine to change it. I am not a misinformed westerner, but rather am a student with my roots deeply sunk in indianess.

  • @TejasM14 Are you sure your indian?"Third world" is what westerners use....I would use a more appropriate term like "developing"....

    you are typical of indians who go to america and start hating your own country.What are you going to do to help the poor of India?Play call of duty?

  • @mpingola So referring to India makes me less of an Indian? I am doing my own little bit. I do research work with a political party and also do social work with a non profit organisation. Yes if bollywood cannot make quality movies about the real india, then why blast outsiders who actually do? India is not all high rises and super cars. The 60% of real india doesn't even have access to electricity.

  • @mpingola Appropriate? Do you even know what a third world nation is? It is a country or region of the world which was neither aligned to first world(capitalism) nor the 2nd world (communism) during the cold war era. Thrive in your ignorance.

  • @TejasM14 Are you suggesting bollywood make movies just about indian slums,child trafficking,corruption,populat­ion crisis?

    Will anyone even watch movies in India if all they show is the negative side of a country?

    Every country wants to show its rich and famous people and its culture and tradition....and many indians are filthy rich,they want to see entertaining movies,not just documentaries on unfortunate people living in slums .....

  • @mpingola Yes we all would like to see the glamorous, but Bollywood is too caught up in the world of glamour and artificiality when there is despair all around. You like most of my fellow citizens, are caught up in the world of fantasy. I prefer the real side and hope to make India a better place. And yes bollywood should see the light of the day from time to time and make movies with a message, instead of the same dragged out love and tribunal bullshit.

  • @TejasM14 Why are you so ignorant?Movies like 3 idiots,stanley ka dabba,anwar,munna bhai all focus on social issues and have won many awards.

    There are plenty of movies which create social awareness.Its not just all glitz and glamour in bollywood.

    Its not india's fault americanised Indians like you choose to ignore such films over "Hangover" and "Toy Story"

    You do shit social work and research if you are so ignorant.

  • @TejasM14 haha "I do research work with a political party and also do social work with a non profit organisation"

    haha BIG words...

    what NGO are you helping?Indian or american?

    And I doubt you really do "research" with an Indian political party....they dont take kids you know....especially kids who spend most of their time playing violins.

    You know shit about India,keep watching FOX news,I hear Glenn beck is one awesome guy...

  • @mpingola Munna bhai is a movie on social issues? And I am nelson mandela. Slumdog wasn't any movie on social awareness, it just honestly depicted Mumbai. Retards like from you shy away from the truth. What the hell do you know about Indian politics? I work with Lok Satta, in hyderabad, which is where I am from. And I did summer work at a school for the deaf. I don't need to justify anything to ignoramus like you. Watch your 3 idiots long enough, you might easily be the 4th one.

  • @TejasM14 "it just honestly depicted Mumbai",,so you are saying the whole of mumbai is basically slums?

    How prejudiced are you?

    and yeah america is all goody goody isnt it?

    you work with the lok satta from america?What do you for them?do you write a blog or recruit people?

    haha I know its easy to fool people on the internet,but dont try so hard...

  • @TejasM14 the director himself (Danny Boyle)said that he made the movie to create awareness the world over about the slums in mumbai.

    Who the fuck are you to tell it wasnt for social awareness?

    I embrace the truth,you are just over-exaggerating it to the point of absurdness.

    Typical american born indian making up propaganda against India.

    If you dont need to justify anything to me,why did you tell me your "lok satta" and "work for deaf summer school" stuff?Did you have to mention it?

  • @mpingola I mentioned it as you seem to be really keen in stalking the fuck out of me. I just made it one step easier. You are entitled to your stupidity. I am done with you.

  • @TejasM14 Please for God's sake dont call yourself indian.

    Your an insult to all the poor people who are trying very hard just to survive each day.

    Go to your local gay bar,and get banged by your white buddies.

    Cheers.

  • if hes so upset he shouldnt be doing films in foreign countries

    most bollywood films are shot in beautiful foreign places

    they rarely shoot in slums

  • Well it's not making india look 3rd world..

    it's called SLUMdog millionaire

    not Indian millionaire.

    It specifically states that's what life I like in the slums.

    They won't make the leading person a rich educated boy. and I know slumdog are educated too, but I mean university and stuff.

  • Amitab is just jealous. Why cant this old guy retire and step aside. He, inspite of his privileges never lifted a finger to help the poor, but is all upset that the world gets to know the stark realities of india. What a hypocrite.

  • well maybe big b shud get off his high horse once in a while and open his damn eyes

  • i liked cc to china! it was well funny.

    stupid media,,,

  • i do wish some of the amazingness and wonder of india would be shown in the movie soo i could feel a bit more proud of india

  • @etunaruhana .like what amazingness? 78% live on less than $2 per day.not much to be proud of init.

  • amitabh is such a bullshiter

    just jealous cos he didnt get a part in the movie, even though he got some recognition

    maybe if he tried leaving his palace and took his rich ass to the slums he would see that it really is a third world country!

  • media.... i dont know  what to say...

  • Poverty is the biggest terrorism. Unless you remove the poverty you can not create peace.

  • Slums exist everywhere and in every country no one wants to depict them in film. In USA there are slums just 3 blocks from the White House in 3 directions. They are shown in films and documentaries, but if not from here people don't know that. So what? That's the reality of life all over the world.

  • "In USA there are slums just 3 blocks from the White House in 3 directio" .. thats news.. does USA know that? those slums ur talking about are comparable to decent living colonies anywhere in the world

  • I'm sure our concept of "Decent" living accommodations differ.

  • Actually what you wrote is complete rubbish. The US is a third world country but there are no slums or ghettos in most western countries. As long as people are dying and begging in the streets of India it will always be a third world country.

  • I don't know if you are misinformed or woefully ignorant. I don't know if you are even from here. But people are dying and begging on the streets of every major city in the US and some smaller cities as well. I've lived in 4 major cities, and I've seen the same thing in all of them. I've travalled to many more. I was born and raised in New York City; it doesn't get much worse than that. You obviously know only about the spit, polish, and glitter.

  • I know you're a product of a failed education system and can't read.

    See the two parts of the sentence dummy, "the us is a third world country" then the word "but" then "there are no slums or ghettos in most western countries." do you see how that works or are you too busy huffing nail polish remover fumes?

    America is a barbarous place and those uncivilised conditions don't exist in most of the EU.

  • I see. Excuse me while I get back to my nail polish remover.

  • we'll find out !!

  • the indian girls r hot!

  • i mean no offense..but y is big b pissed? india is a 3rd world country..wots wrong with that? they should be proud that a movie from 3rd world country won oscar..:S dont see the logic here

  • Because he was not in the film ; )

    just kudding ppl don't beat me ^^

  • the guy must be pissed at the little Jamal for giving him a 'SHITLOAD' of his photo,when he visits the slums in a helicopter.

  • every country has slums, a hit movie gave the world a reality check!

  • No, not every country has slums.

  • keep talking someday u will utter something intelligent

  • bhacchan the cunt...wat the hell!! didnt he knw which city he was living in??.. it is gud tht such movies r made and a more realistic scenario be presented to india and abt india.. if images of recent success and economic growth is only shown then the real ppl who makeup india... ie., THE POOR will hav lost all say as india progresses... such images of reality will keep a check on wat the ground reality is and wat the growing middle-class, the rich and ppl arnd the world think of india as..

  • + shows india's reality and may may change the rich indian people's thinking towards poor & they might donate more & be less corrupt.

    - yes BBC especially are good at showing cows, monkeys, slums in INDIA just to big up themselves & PATRONIZE others (not just INDIANS but every one) which runs in their blood. sick & sad really.

    But as a true indian I think this film is about harsh reality & the world knowing about it may be just an eye opener for people in india to WAKE UP.

  • which country u frm??? i am indian , livin in australia...have seen austrlian slum ever...do they ever show tht??? they are poorer than us, asking for money for food wen u eating...same in USA, they never show tht..y shud we and create bad image???

  • i think ur the one who's seriusly disillusiond..u want to see all the cities and all the growth and pubs and discos go see them..nobody will stop u frm seeing wat u want to see..but u want to disempower the poor and show the world a glitzy picture of india..tht my friend u r not entitled to..part of being a democracy is never to force ppl to come out of poverty jst bcos ur embarrasd but to empower them..tht u shud be proud of..u shud never force ur decisions onto others jst the way nobdy forcd u

  • It is shame that people from Sub-continent can't digest truth. What is the worth of pride if does not feed the hungry people. I live in West and I never seen slums like in Bombay, Delhi, Karachi and Calcutta.

  • dont come back again !

  • Taare zameen par was a really good movie...it deserves oscar ....slumdog probably ot oscar cuz of the song jai ho.

  • I want this chick, Suzi Mann, fine ass punjaban kudi! I'm gonna marry her, lol. I love you Suzi!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The movie was a very realistic one and very well planned...I dont think anyone could have done a better job than Danny Boyle in making a film like that...People are just upset with the movie because they feel India was exposed in a bad light..well thats the truth isnt it.?? if we are so embarassed with the message we are giving out and with the image we are projecting we should do something to better it...even Indian Directors these days do not plan their films in India...

  • how come Aamir khan's Lagaan didnt get OSCAR, maybe cuz it was white ppl who were getting beat up in the movie

  • so true :P

    or maybe coz they were not poor and dirty enough.

    Also noone was a chuld abuser and noone had sex with noone u see.

  • @pun302 or maybe it was competing with "no man's land"?

    if that was the reason, they wouldn't have been nominated in the first place.

  • @pun302

    right on

  • @pun302 Ohh come on. We Indians should stop indulging xenophobia. No man's land, the movie that beat lagaan had a more universal theme. Lagaan's song, dance and love might not have catered to the likes of much of the Academy award jury.

  • Bachchan has a right to say what he wants on his own blog, grow up people! and for those who think slumdog would have got the success it did without Boyle are stoooooopid!

  • On June 2, 2007 a Faizabad court ruled that he had illegally acquired agricultural land designated specifically for landless Dalit farmers.[38] It was speculated that he might be investigated on related charges of forgery, as he has allegedly claimed he was a farmer.[39] On July 19, 2007, after the scandal broke out, Bachchan surrendered the land acquired in Barabanki in Uttar Pradesh and Pune.

  • Amitabh is the man who wanted the robbed some villagers their land a few years ago. He claimed that he is a farmer on his tax return to get that benefit of the land...This is the man people worship in India...Has no moral and class...and the so is the whole family!

  • i actually like slumdog millionaire...but lets face it ...facts are facts... amitabh is bein real if it was mas by and indian guy it wouldnt make 2 dollaz... PERIOD

  • bharatyatna, , you people treat the poor in india like garbage, you do not let them into your temples your name says something about you. clean up the filth you live in start to treat people in india with respect. and let every Indian have good housing, 3 good meals a day , health care, and education, . stop treating asholes like amithab like god's .I am sure you have never been ouside of india to see how others live in a CLEAN , polite recpectful place.

  • amitabh is a hypocrite he is jealous that he or his family did not get the oscars he has never and will never win one he is a super rich man who lives in a fantasy world and refuses to see the poor of india. he has done nothing with all his wealth to help the poor. treats his servants like slave and under pays them. He should be dragged from this home and whipped in public and made to apologize

  • u r absulutely write man. i also agree with u

  • Amitabh is right, Slumdog is a mediocre film n only got recognition coz of foreign director

    even rehman has given much better numbers than "Jai ho" before

  • yo welll said...........

  • well if u dont luv india y the fuck u watching these videos stupid ignorants i live in australia melbourne its one of the most multi cultured place in the world n they live happily learn something from them u moronsssssss luv india luv ausii luv world

  • don't worry, bhailogos. even the world's richest nation (used to be) has problems with poverty. in new york, you always have to look out for muggers or gang bangers. so yeah, money doesn't solve problems because money is held on. these muggers steal iphones, ipods, all the latest tech.

  • maxten dear, the usa is STILL the richest nation in the world. perhaps if we stopped supporting and propping up sad countries with our billions of aid dollars, then perhaps we'd be in better financial standing, but rest assured the usa is still numero uno.

  • Look you bunch of idiots-Indian and white, Mumbai looks exactly like that. Danny Boyle shot what he saw. Indian directors shoot their Bollywood films in Hungary and Switzerland and other locations to avoid the slums. You want to see "the real India?" Watch Amazing Race. It's dirty and loud and smelly and jumbled and people live just about everywhere. That dance scene must have been a bitch to shoot. That was Victoria Terminus and it's one of the busiest places on earth.

  • Amitabh is the man who wanted the robbed some villagers their land a few years ago. He claimed that he is a farmer on his tax return to get that benefit of the land...This is the man people worship in India...Has no moral and class...and the so is the whole family.

  • really the media bullshit has stuck in your balls cunt face he robbed nobody he paid for that land if he had no class he would not be a world know figure who the fuck knows you and your fucked up family??explain your 'morals' do u have any?? talk about the millions that this man has paid for orphans suicidal farmers destitute people etc WTF have u contributed to?? post your shit on his blog and get your balls kicked back inside your mother's black hole

  • he's just jealous cuz slumkids got an oscar and he never got one .maybe he should take some acting lessons from these new comers. he's so full of himself. i hate amitabh. he's an old man who still dances with young girls younger than his daughters. he's disgusting. he doesnt know a good film if it fell on his head.

  • who is amytab?

  • amitabh bachchan is the superstar of bollywood (inidan film industry)... he is actor of the millionair by bbc.... personally i love him...

  • ahaa amitabh bachchan i read about him, I can say actors are always on top when we talk about popularity, but is he a good man by moral values? doesn't look like when I read some comments and found him racist aswell does he like poor people ?

  • do u believe everthing that you read? know the facts first never will you or anyone on this page reach the heights of this man ?maybe u should read his blog

  • Comment removed

  • haha! while the indian hater dude amitabh hatin on a good movie, boyle laughin all the way to the bank lol, like "fuck dat hater yo!" "im rich bitch!" lmao!

    im just playing lol

  • big b is right. had this been a bollywood movie, no one would give a fuck. westerners are a deprived people, stories like this are made in bollywood all the time, the only exception here is that this movie made it in western theatres.

  • oh my god i am so sick of reading useless opinions from american nerds on this site!

  • Now the PROUD America has taken the whole world deeper into the slums with their shitty economy, materialistic cravings and fat asses getting fatter and even more importantly their wish to be superior than everyone and rule the world. It pisses me off !! Now I want to hear them say "This is the real America".

  • True...its a good movie...but only reason its given a global recognition as its made by a NON indian director. Specifically to make the Americans feel better as portrayed by dialogues such as "Let me show you the real America" (woman handing money). It sure shows the slums and is very very good story. But what annoys me the most is that as long as the Americans feels satisfied degrading other countries like India stuff does well. Why couldn't Taare Zaameen par be acknowledged. Now whats America?

  • Mr india1, i totally agree with you on that, taare zameen par was a much better movie than slumdog, In fact in terms of parallel cinema there are so many Indian movies directed by the likes of Shayam benegal, Deepa mehta and Mira nair which were worthy of Oscars but were not even nominated, the mere reason this movie was awarded so many Oscars is because it was directed by Danny Boyle

  • Big Bs comments on that the if it was a indian who taken over the movie it would not have recieved any attention. This will be true only true because is would have turned into typical bollywood movie with 5 song and buff and pretty bollywood actor playing the parts in a slums which would be build in a studio somewhere in mumbai away from the real slums and with over the top acting; that it would not be in touch with reality .

  • BIG B you faggot shut the fuck up and polite. You could bare those rahman winning oscar despite of you. SO sad, Big B is rich, rich enough to turn slums into 5 star hotels why doesn't he do it? heh........punkboy.

  • amitabh is a loser, i liked slum dog millionaire . fuck amitabh and his fucking family bunch of cock suckers.

  • He has is correct to a certain point. What he should have stated: "the only reason why 'slumdog' did so well is because 'Hollywood' got involved in making it." Everyone loves to blast the U.S., especially those who profit from us.

  • d representer sucks!! she has a bad accent!! eww!! and i loved slumdog millionaire!!

  • Indian acotrs and common man learned showing ass and boobs is not the standard for global recognition,

    I was fucking tired of bollywood booties, those 'bada gant' . Showing cleaves and thighs and legs illustrate indians are perverts. Being poor is better than perverts..

  • UP bhayya Bachan, have come to the slums of Bombay and forgotten those areas when he reached to the tops!! Hiding behind A/C cars and hotel suites and moving with politicians and glamour, and high status....but foreigners will see the slums and poorty as it is...if it is not the real India...then what is India? butt and boob showing bollywood????..but high ranking bolly wood actresses and actors got pissed off by little kids picked up Oscars and Golden Globe awards like peanuts. :-))))))

  • Danny boyle abused india ! what a load of crap! I agree that india is not full of slums. But there are a large population of indains do leave in the slums . and this was a story about 3 kids who grow up in the slums. And you are prejudiced. Need to learn to put the past behind. I grew up in india yaa not that great. the rich gets richer and the poor get abused. What ever the past is the brition now is the most tolerant and most multicultural society in the world.

  • Agreed.

  • good to see your reply on my comment friend,yes i dont worry abt the past,and you are correct that most of the pop lives in slums,but if u hav time,just watch som reality based ind movies on slum lives and people ,and not at all the way a director represents the way danny boyle represented us in slum"dog",dude the name itself remarks abuse,and unfortunately most indians think that this is a win for indian cinema,just think abt it friend,in real,it realy hurts sentiments of real n snsble indians

  • This was a book. The flim is based on the book. Danny boyle is telling a story of these three people show suffered extreme poverty . Its not a story of middle class india. This is a movie and its based on a fictional book.And you cannot deny some of the stuff in the movie isn't true( beating the kid, child kidnaping etc). What people(from england my friends) took away from the film was the characters resiliences to situation. they do understand that not everyone is like that eg rich being evil

  • yeah right,now evry other pissed off director in britain and USA now will find "dogs" in india to make story upon rite,hah!

    okay bro if your danny boyle hav courage then just ask him to make movies on real india,the ministers,corruption and all of you english people diverging even our lang that people started luring you all in the name of oscars,if he had dare,he wud hav exposed corruption(something very close to real india,beating of kid lol!!!),no director wants controversy haan???fuck him!

  • This movie is based on a book . Its not some political vendetta.

  • I admire him; I don't know what came in his mind at the time of blog on slumming slum dog millionaire. Why he was quiet about Smile Pinky and Final Inch? I think this is the amazing way to start their (Rubina, Azhar, Pinto and Dev) carrier. India has got mixed population of very rich and very poor. The power of Art brought them together on the worlds biggest stage. Isnt a good thing? The kids are more popular than Amitabh. He is only popular in India and among Indians abroad.

  • Amitabh bachchan is just a jealous LOSER

  • Amitabh never wrote this in his blog.. do check his blog before you comment.. some fan of his had written it when he had opened the topic for discussion.. Media has totally manipulated the story..and you are the victims wasting time on something that never happened...

  • 86 percent of Indians live on less that 2 dollars and 50 cents a day (world bank).  4 Indians are on the top ten billionaires list on forbes.

    Enough said.

  • what are you trying to prove there...the rich get richer man..that happens everywhere.

  • India IS a 3rd world country. it is developing.

    is bachchan really that ignorant or just plain stupid.

    It's rich ppl like that in india who keep the poor poor.

    He most probably is jealous of the success cos he wasnt in the film (well not physically anyway)

  • u guys just knw how to represent ur country's weaknesses,india has just nw cmpleted a high satellite space mission which very few countries have undergone

  • what the hell is he talking about! not everyone in india is rich like him. there's so much poverty there nd i've seen it with my own eyes

  • yeah...tru...its not like they showed something so out of line that it diverts from reality! this stuff DOES exist n thus, ppl arguing that this displays India in a bad light, should shut up! i mean the movies about a boy from the slums! what do u expect the director to show!? Plus, EVERYONE should kno that India also has its BEAUTIFUL parts! ppl that think this is all of India, r STUPID! But as far as the backlash on Boyle, its wrong! The things he showed were in context of the storyline!

  • It was a great movie, regardless. Just appreciate it for what it is.

  • He is jealous that is cudn't act in this movie ..... If he was in anilkapoor's place he would have gone to OSCARS . So he is jealous blady thinks only about his pocket...

  • Oh stop it with all the country-slamming!!!!!

    All great nations rise and fall. It's like human life. Some periods are great, some periods are really rough. It depends on what period you're living through. Transition from rough to great is never lightning quick.

  • And India is a 3rd world country....where the hell is Amitabh Bachchan living? It's a developing country, as are most countries in Asia, Africa and South America. And that's where the culture and diversity is I reckon. Also, there's poverty everywhere...but it is bad in India. When I went there, it was so hard to get used to. But you do in the end. Slumdog Millionaire rocks!

  • SHOULD SLUMDOG MAKE PEOPLE RICH?

    /watch?v=tzecbXQX8Ok

  • What's the big deal? Was India not a colony of UK?

  • It seems like my comments were erased .......what a third class person this moderator is...who can not digest criticism....

  • Big B is pissed cause he was'nt a part of the movie or his over rated talentless daughter in law ASH was not in it, he needs to get over himself, i know its sad ash bombed in pinkpanther the reviews say it all she is a pretty face with no talent please accept it and move on

  • then do something about it, don't just deny. there is no shame having a problem, do something about poverty, corruption, atrocities, and indifference or lack of empathy.

    it is only shameful denying something that is extant, it makes things even more obvious.

  • Hello Elfrania....Who says that we are doing nothing to eradicate this problem.....this is a problem to be sorted out by both the government and the citizen....From my side i am sending foreign currency to India....India is far more changed, what it was 25 or 30 years ago.....but still many things are needed to be done.....this is not about the development...this topic is about portraying India in a negative sense........which i am very much against of.....

  • It's going too slow. India is a giant with both feet tied.

    There are too many slums, if the director intentional hunt for them, i have nothing to say, but it is prevalent, hence he's not over stating. It's the truth. so let's face it together, and work together on it.

    I have high hopes in India, and I am glad u share my views. But 1st let's get rid of corruption and wasteful production, they are the slums creator.

  • You have "high hopes for India"? hahah.. you're a filthy untouchable whose worth doesn't even amount to two squirts of piss! India is the cradle of civilization and the Mother of the world! JAI HIND! It declined ONLY after muslims and christians (filthy scumdogs) invaded the country! Read some real history of India. Check HINDUWISDOM(dot)INFO

  • U R A DIK! nuf sed!

  • Amitabh Bachchan is the MOST COrupted man in INDIA admitted people. he steels farmers land, he betray with punky movies to his fans.

  • "HOT DOG" doesn't mean eating Dog food. Slumdog is an English phrase

  • Problem with Slumdog is, they put in all the horrible things about India and bundled in one film. Well, there might be a case wehre orphan kids are blinded, or amputated to make them beggers, but it is not at all a common thing in India, while slums are a reality, all the negative things are highlighted and west obviously wants to buy it. Evey country has such things if anyone want to make a film just on negative aspects.

  • Good grief it's not ALL horrible- it's a wonderfull uplifting story about a heroic character. This IS a story about a kid who comes from the slums, life IS hard. this stuff makes excellent stories and every society has these places. It's not a negative view or one society looking down on another. We all tell these stories about ourselves. Have you never seen a Dickens film, les Miserables, the Godfather, City of god???!!!

  • You're right, but it's not meant to be a documentary in any way, it's meant to be a fantastical storytale. Also Slumdog Millionaire shows India's rise out of the poorer socialist License Raj era of the 80s and into the more free current era where much less people are living in poverty.

  • ur right positive sides of india could have been shown too in the movie .I know the movie was abt slums to show the sad reality of india for indians to do something out our country, but personally I was disgusted by some uncalled scenes like the part where the kid jumps in the pile of dump! Wut the hell? I was disgusted while watching that myself. I hope future movies on india also show the beauty of india including rich history,temples, exotic places as well!

  • i'm confused why is everyone upset with slumdog?

  • India is always associated with poverty in western films.I think,Indian directors should come up with films portraying the beautiful culture of India.We,as Indians,should try to tackle the poverty too,to improve our image as well

  • amitabh bachchan is just bitter b'cause he somehow imagined that he will be the first one to win oscar from india or while acting in an indian film well guess what a bunch of kids whooped his ass. big b standsfor big bullshit.

  • ha ha ha ha!! Classic post, how true. He should be proud that INDIA is winning an Oscar albeit courtesy of a British Director!

  • very true he is jealous he should retire he is too old and shut his mouth

  • u couldn't have put it any better....sour grapes!!!!!

  • Hai guys do u know how his stupid "Big B" name came from??

    he copied movie"surfs up"s "Big Z" character and he add a nick name as "Big B".

    he s trying to be a hero with "Big B" name...can u think how stupid this stupid punk is....

  • Big B u can suck my dick

  • if a westerner didn't take on the project, the film would be shit and it would have stupid dancing every 2 seconds.

  • then you really haven't been exposed to good movies. sorry.

  • with u all the way digi boy danny boyle did a superb job with this film all bollywood has these days to offer is who can show most clevage and legs=in another words absolute BULLSHIT!!! supporting Mr. Boyle all the way...

  • you are right but BIG B is was talkin about the truth they are many good indian movies like jodhaa akbar, laag rego muna bhai , 1942 a love story and many other but did any of these movie got any internatial recongntion?no! another thing bollywood should stop doing is copyin things from other countries half ofthe mvie r remke of hollywood movie or shows.

  • Ya i know I was so disgusted when i came to know about the remake of 'old boy' and 'bittersweet life' - two of my favourite Korean films - Bullshitwood aka Bollywood has directly uplifted each n every scene, even its narrative!!! They have done this so fucking badly to the extreme that, it just shows how low n futile they are in their creativity- taking pride from other people's work- fucking tossers!!!

  • well just so u know , all the cast and crew are indians and the director was all the time advised by an indian co-director......Danny did a brilliant job as far as film making was concerned but the film has a very bollywood like feel to it..u cant deny that and yes you havent seen any good films i guess....

  • Indians are Not ARABS!

    what you live in a box ???

  • hmm, I don't think that that's the offending part of captainlevi's comment....even if they were arabs, why should it incite any sort of anger?!...idiot

  • what is your problem? what a worthless comment.

    If you want correct him on that then go tell HIM!

    All I wanted to point out was that Indians aren't Arabs. And what I should be happy about people not knowing the difference.

    I'm sure Russians would love to called oriental cuz they're Asian??

    So I guess you're the idiot here lilly.

  • oh, sorry! I completely agree with you, going places,...I was just adding a 'point 2' to your first point. The 'idiot' was meant for captainlevi.

    And, again, apologies for this worthless comment, too...just wanted to defend myself.

  • oh....ok. :)

    not a problem.

    you have every right to defend yourself, lilly.

    sorry about calling you stupid in return. really.

  • a message to BIG B, fuck you matey.

  • First!! Yei...
