On blog, comments for the film 'SlumDog Millionaire' and the anger by some on its contents, prompt me to say the above. If SM projects India as Third World dirty under belly developing nation and causes pain and disgust among nationalists and patriots, let it be known that a murky under belly exists and thrives even in the most developed nations. Its just that the SM idea authored by an Indian and conceived and cinematically put together by a Westerner, gets creative Globe recognition. The other would perhaps not.

The commercial escapist world of Indian Cinema had vociferously battled for years , on the attention paid and the adulation given to the legendary Satyajit Ray at all the prestigious Film Festivals of the West, and not a word of appreciation for the entertaining mass oriented box office block busters that were being churned out from Mumbai. The argument. Ray portrayed reality. The other escapism, fantasy and incredulous posturing. Unimpressive for Cannes and Berlin and Venice. But look how rapidly all that is changing. Retrospectives in Paris and New York. Dedicated TV channels running Hindi cinema on prime timings. Premiers at Leiscester Square, the home of all Hollywood royalty, thronged by hundreds on the street in cold biting weather. Affable recognition at most corners of the universe' And a dear friend from Los Angeles wires in that Hollywood is abuzz with India and the phenomenal talent that exists there. We're talking cinema still !

The movie portrayed a character similar to that of Big B in very poor light. Anil Kapoor played a egoistic host cracking pretty cheap jokes at the poor contestant in the quiz show. Amitabh on the other hand used to keep his conversations with the contestants dignified on Kaun Banega Crorepati.

Huge debate is going on several blogs articles regarding this.....Just now I saw the entire Jago India at 7.00 pm in evening on Zee news, it was based on this film and many prominent people asked why India is always shown in a poor light in West..shall post the link the moment it comes on youtube.

yes bruno agree with you. Perhaps my anger was misdirected, and I apologise for some of my previous comments. Being a member here you would know I am myself a big fan of ARR and quite a few of my old posts are dedicated to him.

Not only this Bruno we need to see this movie because on a few review I read India is shown in pretty bad light as a country of evil people where everything is wrong.
