Here is my two bit. The idea is not to portray a bad India, but to bring to celluloid somethign that was in print. There are a gazillion movies made IN india that portray India in a shittier (pun intended) light than Slumdog. Its sweet that most Indians that live outside India kinda get a little possessive about the country and try to hide any negativity. Its sweet really but I dont think Slumdog deserves so much flak. And having said that, though I loved the movie, for its frames, and craft, I didnt think it deserved the hype and hoopla. There. :) Hi there
