what is it? is there any thinking in mind of india as how they r being insulted? u do not deserve it like this how it is given! in fact, rehman gave his worst music in "slumdog.." , compared to his earlier music in 'jodha akbar', 'lagan', roza, bombay etc! freida pinto acted as normal as a little less from new comer in hindi film! story line is hypothetical! jamal was asked all the question from his life experience only! got up story! poverty show? hundred times more poverty , reality were shown in mrinal sen, shyam benegal movie! do u want to tell that indian could not make such a film to get a oscar till date! if the talent is appreciated then, the every film of satyajit roy's, mrinal sen's , shyam benegal etc would have got oscar award! was there no merit in "mother india", "lagan" or "TZP"etc brilliant indian film or other indian language? don't u find any indian film to get nominated for oscar untill a foreigner make movie on india's povery porn? if u r a self respected and nationalist, definitely u will not be proud for these 8 oscar as we have the believe in ourself that we had made, will be making good film more than 'slumdog indian, please understand, where u r being striked! i would definely tell that to-day is our humiliation day internationally! i would not have bothered if foreigner r insulting us onesidedly in their own area(outside india) but i am bothered as how shamelessly my indians r singing their song! do u deserve to be slum dog?

its not crime to show reality.it seems we just like movie in which actor tries to get actress and movie ends.it gives inspiration that even facing these difficulties still we r living happily. u people just didnt understand message of movie.and 2nd thing abour AR Rehman,he is just the best.he deserve it and bcoz of him,the whole world is dancing on Jai Ho.

I agree with u Indian ... This is really a sad in the history ... Rehman deserves acclaim some or the other day .. but not this way ... He has given way better music in Lagaan. But he didnt get any oscars for it ..
Indians should never be proud of such things .. Shameless Indians who r happy for thie So called SUCCESS

Well Sir, And what great are you doing by criticizing this film. You sound like a typical India politician who hates to see his comrade fare better than Him. Im not really sure if your opinion holds any good but one this is for certain, that this film has won possibly all the accolades that there are in this industry. And thats not all. This movie is all about Hope. Hope that an Indian CAN win at a global level. Hope that a slum dweller kid who never dreamt of reaching America, has gone to the Oscars.. Hope about a polite & Humble music composer, can proudly stand testimony to the rich talent in this Country. And talking about demeaning India, we'll poverty is still a grave challenge that India is trying to fight...Tell us how you can add to making this Country a better place, other than critisizing its people. And to all our worthless small time politicians. Stop wasting time indulging in worthless, cheap publicity and work towards winning such accolades not just for yourself, but this country..Im sure it will make all of us proud..Just the way AR Rehman and Rusel did. I agree that India is yet to see a film that is made in & by an Indian..but till see that day..lets keep our hopes alive..JAI HO!!

Yes, I agree with you that we are going mad about this particular event as if India has not made better film than this earlier. But that is how we are treated and more pitifully that is how we are known our mad celebrations
