[percept]

Hi there,

Although Slum dog millionaire seems to be an Indian movie, But actually, It's a use of Indian resource and the target audience were western people. How many of you do think that this movie is Bollywood Movie or Hollywood movie.

Please feel free to express your views.

the director said the kids were given 'nice money' once filming was over... but that money has now disappeared. which is why he decided to set up long term funds for them.

they will be encouraged to stick with education, and if they complete their studies, they will get a big payout when they turn 18.

Its a British movie

More money will be released to them on completion of their education aged 18.

Hi there,

Instead of Danny Boyle, if any Indian director would have made this movie, then do you think it would become successful as it is now.

i would say no. the certain concepts within the movie are something an indian director would never dream of doing. he would be killed.

[chutney whore]

What a great movie! I loved it, the score totally rocked too. Oh and i vote British movie!

Its neither bollywood or hollywood.

[lilpoo]

Hi there,

What if, If Director Danny Boyle, wouldn't have got such a great content, i.e showing the worst of India. How many of you think the actual reason for getting the Oscars. Is it because of the great content or Great direction.

Hi there,
In all i would like to mention my perception regarding this movie .ie. Slum Dog million is neither a Hollywood movie nor a British. In my opinion Slum dog is purely an Indian movie, but showed to Western people. I don't know how many guys would agree with me, but this is what i think so.

doesn't matter what anyone thinks.

SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE is a British production with a British crew and an Indian cast, distributed by Hollywood studios.

bottome line: it's a British film.

from what i heard, apparently the kids were put into school and a school fund was set up for them so they could pursue an education.

and from what I've seen on the news, those kids were getting the star treatment when they returned back to India after touring the States on the awards circuit.

Danny Boyle did have an Indian co-director during the film.

and lots of directors from the Indian Film Industry have done many amazing movies that went ignored, or even banned in India... but were appreciated by masses worldwide.
so the success of SLUMDOG... has less to do with the ethnicity of the director, but more to do with the mentality of the audience that was exposed to it.

lol... your opinion of facts doesn't matter.

you could have an opinion of the film and if you liked the content or not.
but fact is that it was a British production. a British film.
the ethnicity of the actors in the film doesn't relate to what country the film originated from.

what you think on that point is irrelevant.

[TDSR]

To be honest it wasn't that good of a film.

If it creates necessary controversy, it's almost always good in my books. India needs to wake up to the reality beyond Bollywood.

and it took a british film to bring it to the attention of the world :no:

[phishuff]

i think certain amount of the money the movie made should be donated to the slums..after all they made money of their story

and if the film bombed and left the studio with a £20 Million loss than should the slums also donate money for the loss?

Come on get real! Yes they should maybe give them some cash but as far as giving millions and millions - No way. People have a choice in life to be what they want and where they want - the fighters get out of it....the ones that dont have the fight stay down.

London_Man,

Please stop with your individuality. Focus on humanity. The great directors of India and British combined together to produce such film , to show the world it's bitterness and wake up the people. Don't you think it make sense ?
