My Views on Slum Dog Millionaire

I am indeed surprised about the hype and hoopla surrounding the film "Slum Dog Millionaire". The Indian audience should be intelligent enough to understand our country has been projected in a shameful manner in the early part of the film where our poverty and the crimes associated therewith have been projected beyond actual reality. The Scene where a child is blinded and used for beggary, the scene where Hindus are shown as intolerant and perpetrators of communal violence, the scene where child prostitution is indicated to exist in the Country are only a clever design by certain forces to project our country as worse than a third world country. It is ironical that the Oscars and Golden Globe Awards are American based and the Americans are the ones who have started sophisticated communal violence by the invasion of Iraq and killing of hundreds of Muslims citing the existence of chemical weapons which could never be proved.

Please be honest and think whether the film would have recieved all the adulation and awards if it had been directed by an Indian Director. The Answer is an "Emphatic No" as there is much more than what meets the eye in this film getting the Golden Globe Awards and in all probability the Oscars. The views of Mr Amitabh Bachchan who is the greatest Indian Actor should be appreciated and endorsed by every self respecting Indian.

My views above are without prejudice to the quality of acting displayed by the Lead Actors and cinematography which are of the highest standards.
