Danny Boyle , perhaps does not understand that majority of india surely lives in slums , but the picturisation and utter vulgar potrayal of slumdwellers was just a hype to secure critics rather than showcase the reality in which slumdwellers lead their lives. to our surprise , the transformation of much of urban india and its "colony / flat culture " , comes from these very slumdwellers.
its not that slums mean litter, pollution or filthy environment around the habitat , but they are the primary support for businesses across cities and towns, these slumdwellers play an important role , creating wealth not only for themselves but also for others ....this movie most often would definetly suit to people , who never saw the hardship of village and slum life in india ......remember that the british society might have been, if not less ..on the same lines during pre industralisation period.
movies like slumdog still linger in the minds of people ( especially in west ) with an idea that India = slums alias poverty....if any one still wonders , with such thoughts, they are on the wrong side of the history !!........infact this movie is well "inspired" from India's salam Bombay ...
