I am the slumdog, laughs sound designer Resul Pookutty when you ask him about the movie thats catapulted him to international repute. Looking at his plush Andheri studio, you wouldnt be inclined to think so. But tidbits about his life before his status quo paint a very different picture.

[venkaryardsfs]

Congrats Resul!

@BushMushkijai,

just let you know, ARR has NO connection with Kerala by blood. He is a 100% Tamilian from Tamil Mudhaliar caste. His father worked for Malayalam movies, but that is all.Try to appreciate talents from all ethnic groups. Don't be so specific. Jai Hind!

[BushMushkijai]

As per my understanding Kerala is one of the best state in India. They are intelligent and cultured. Their sense of entertainment is very high. Look at their movies. The best Actors, Singers, musicians (I believe, ARR has connection with Kerala) Njanpeed award winners, Olympian, Doctors, Ministers, Army Men the list is very long. A state with full of talented people. If you take the bad side, Mallus are professional in those fields as well. That is natural.

[BushMushkijai]

If you are talking about villagers then it might be true.100% cultured people cannot be seen any corner of the world.

Good point, we are totally fooled, and yet we rejoice, and look at that idiot Anil Kapoor, going over the top as if this was all he lived for, and he wasn't even the main lead of Slumdog, guess how embarassing it would've been for us had he been the main lead, we would have hanged our heads in shame by now

[lunatickerala]

People like Resul, Tharoor and others achieve success & fame only after they leave lunatic Kerala. Kerala is a big lunatic asylum as declared by Vivekananda, with barefooted mallus walking half naked in lungis, spitting in public, peeing on walls & honking proudly in their puny match box cars. Stone age tribals still living in coconut jungles & die falling into pot holes. By just reading some alphabets does not make one civilized or literate. Their king Mahabali was a demon.

[BushMushkijai]

Imagine, if they have not selected at least two Indians for Oscar, Indians opinion about this movie would have been different. It doesn't mean that Indians are not talented, but for the west, the important thing is to get support from Indians for projecting Indias poverty by throwing two pieces of meat to divert the attention. Now who are the Idiots?

[BushMushkijai]

Now you could read the latest news that China makes low quality medicines in and selling in African countries with a label says mad in India. The intention is same. Bringing down Indias image as much as they can.

[BushMushkijai]

Indians who live in India do not know what is the opinion of foreigners about India, especially Europeans and Americans (Now all Indians understood Australians general mindset about India !!).

[BushMushkijai]

The movie is popular for Indians poverty and filth. Nobody care about A.R. Rahman or a Rasool Pookuty. Only idiotic Indian minds can be proud about Slum dog Millionaire. The English crooks cannot go to China and make a film about their poverty. Every country in the world has got slums. What is the speciality of Indian slums?

[BushMushkijai]

Mr. A.R.Rahman is a great artist, but he got the Oscar for his worst work. In short, this is a kind of media terrorism against India, just to project India as a country, which is worse than African Countries. This image doesnt help India at all. Even it is affected the tourism to India from EU and US. Even Pakis start calling Indians slum dog.
