Horribly Overrated

Rating: 1/10 (22 February 2009)

As an Indian this movie is completely insulting.
No one in Mumbai is referred to as a 'slumdog'. The movie is wildly inaccurate. From the weak Quiz show questions, to the child who doesn't vomit when drenched in feces, to the depiction of gang life in India. This movie isn't just fiction, it's absurd fantasy.
The love story is about as believable as a Saturday morning cartoon.
That anyone should walk away from this film believing it's decent film is itself a tragedy.
This film is a reflection of Hollwood's white liberal guilt. If you want a better film, check out the Apu trilogy by Satyajit Ray.
