Poverty and slums are a reality of India.
But why the west only celebrates the reality about the poverty in India. I'm sure there are other films made in India which showed reality about other things including politics.
Why is it that only Indian poverty makes the west feel good?
The movie is full of Indian stereotypes in the west - slums, poverty, crime, corruption, elephant, people traveling on train top, Tajmahal, toursits being conned and yes new stereo type - call center!
Had the film 'Gandhi' been made in Bollywood, just imagine what a piece of joke it would have been. The plot would progress somthing like this:

Scene-1 : Gandhi is born. The whole village erupts in joy. Distribution of sweeets, dancing on the streets. Astrologer predicts the newborn would one day become one of the greatest living souls.

Scene-II: Gandhi weds Kasturba; the whole village is dressed in bright coluors; Garbha dances and songs by Gandhi and Kasturba.

Scene-III: Gandhi goes to SA. Pushed out of the train by a Gora; song depicting injustice; people gather around Gandhi; wow is taken to fight injustice; can see many Muslims among the victims.

Scene-IV: Gandhi sets of on Dandi March; a patriotic song (probably Kadam Kadam Badhayeja); lots od jai jaikars for Gandhiji.

Scene-V: Jalianwalbagh tragedy; another tragic song in Urdu sung by Gandhi; another resolution to fight injustice by the Gora log

Scene-VI: On the eve of independence Jinnah and Hindu extremsits start Hindu-Muslim riots; Gandhi pacifies crowd; many Muslims decide to stay back in India rather than go to Pakistan

SceneVII: India gets freedom; Gandhi hoists national flag amidst singing of Vande Mataram;

Scene VIII: Gandhi killed by Hindu extremist; a rousing speech by Nehru promising strict action against the perpetrators of this heinous crime; another sad song in Urdu to evoke pathos.

YOU ARE ALL SLUM DOGS?DON\'T TERM IT ABUSIVE IF THE NAME SLUM-BEGGAR\'S STREET,DOG-A FOUR LEGGED ANIMAL MAINLY USED FOR ABUSIVE WORDS IN INDIA.IT\'S THE TRUTH MY FRIENDS.
i had a very strict objection on name ‘slumdog’ which is being tried to justified as underdog! then why in this film again and again jamal was called by the police inspector as ‘mr. dog’ or simply as ‘dog’? because it’s hidden intention of boyle like western to give Indian a new name –‘slumdog’! it’s new world, then how directly dog can be called!
earlier this britisher used to call us ‘dog’ and sign board they used to keep ‘ dogs & Indians r not allowed’! ‘slumdog’ is not a dictionary word! u can not create a word like this! then who is underdog in office, he can be called ‘office dog’! who is underdog in a locality, he can be called as ‘localitydog’!

u travel by bus and u like custard, then ur friends r calling u sounds like ‘bastard’! is it o.k.? when u object if they explain that we called u ‘bustard’ what means ‘ a large land bird that can run very fast’ as u r traveling very fast , we were just comparing!
will u be satisfied? shud u not stop them from calling u such? !!!!
Future of Indias film indutry is in shifting to English, to be global in nature.

Indian professionals, scietists and thinkers have succeeded asnd recognised when they started doing their bwork and expressing their talent in a globally recognised language, that is english. Indian film industry has to come out of the its over dependence of hindi and regional languages and has to shift to English to be global, for more exposure, for survival and to show case its originality, before outsiders export their products for our large englsh enabled audience. English is the language which has won the battle of dominance in world and when we adopt it we too are part of that. Otherwise bollywood will face the fate of Spanish, French, German or rabic language movies. English is the common language for Indians and it is foreighn language to every Indian, love it, marry it, reproduce it and make it your own to succeed.

English is the global medium of communication for the new millenium. make it yours, Bollywood, then surive and succeed. Make Indiam movies with Indian stories, Indian stars, Indian settings, Indian songs, Indian technology in Indian English. This is the way to go, get recognised and to success.
