Sir, I dont agree with you .. Yes as a country we have definitely progressed, but just because Mr.Danny boyle has shown the truth about our slums though his movie, its hurting us .. Every one of us are living in hope today looking at the economic crisis being faced by all of us.. The movie depicts a story that of an underdog from the slums who goes on to become a millionaire through the game show.. A movie actually made on the very premise of LOVE.. The main reason for the boy to go on to the game show is he knows the girl he loves the most watches it, and desperately hoping she sees him on it and for them to meet up in life again.. Thats the reason the title, " SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE ".. And some people are foolishly debating and asking explainations to the director as to why such a title.. We all love stories of an underdog who makes it big in this greedy world.. and we actually have a notion that success eludes the poor and is only for the mighty & the rich section of our society .. Didnt we celebrate when Aamir khan (Bhuvan) along with village mates wins a cricket match in Lagaan against the mighty british .. In the movie they were the actual underdogs and no one gave them a chance that they would win , but they did win, isnt.. so lets be happy for the cast and crew of the movie, and let them enjoy all the accolades coming their way.. The movie has won the Golden Globe awards.. now the Oscars are coming up.. Irrespective whether the movie wins it or not let us all be happy that it has got itself a nomination .. And even though the movie is made by a westerner, its INDIAN by heart.. I would have seen what would have been your say Mr.Chaudhari to it if the movie was to be made by an Indian director.. Tell me do our so called politicians ever vist the slums or have they done anything in providing any improvement in the living conditions of people living in slums.. Big NO.. They just go up there and ask for votes and beg to the World bank millions of dollars promising development & better infrastructure.. but there is no accountability of that money from their end.. To top it all we have greedy people like Mr.Raju Satyam boss , even though he had his own millions , he tried to show fabricated accounts and did away with the salaries of 10000 non existent employees.. These people are backed by our powerful politicians and he would just get away in a couple of months , because they know our judiciary system , wherein a case takes as long as 10 yrs before it is up for hearing.. The person who suffers the most is the Comman man.. Mr.Danny boyle has cleary indicated that a certain percent of the films earnings would be given away for slum development.. Out railways also earned revenue because of the movie being shot on VT station.. Will they put that money for the slum development is a big question.. It easy to cristise , but i would say Mr.Chaudhari, with due respects to you IIPM is a big brand name today .. and i would love to see you being associated with the slums and pass on a helping hand to them for their development .. Meanwhile lets all say " Jai ho" to the cast and crew of the movie.. and JAIHIND.. HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY..

Hi.. Arindam..Hope you must be keeping track of latest happenings..Well i am not quite sure if this would please you one bit, but the fact is " Slumdog Millionare" has won 8 Oscars for itself and made the country proud.. Hope next time round a similar film comes from planman pictures.. In life its important to have faith in someone's talent.. That's the reason Director Danny boyle came to India to shoot this wonderful film.. He surely faced lots of challenges but it has surely paid off..And he has dedicated his award to the city of Mumbai for its warmth & spirit.. Next time pls dont be so critical, yes we do live in a democracy.. and everyone has aright of opinion.. But u cant possibly fool a billion people who have loved the movie.. Goodluck to you in life.. Once again "Jai Ho" to the entire cast & crew of the movie..
