her acting in SDM was that of a learner the movies won all these awards for the production and not for her acting.hopefully she will get a chance to prove if ahe can really act in Hollywood./Bollywood
I liked kids acting in the slum dog millionaire however they may be poor or rich. If they are poor the Oscar winners or the Bollywood industry must assist their parents financially to come over poverty.

On 26 January 2009, Danny Boyle and Christian Colson released a written statement saying that they had “paid painstaking and considered attention to how Azhar and Rubina’s involvement in the film could be of lasting benefit to them over and above the payment they received for their work”. Boyle and Colson have stated that they have "set up trust funds for Rubina and Azharuddin and paid for their education," although the exact amount of the trust funds is not known.

That is nothin surprising. People in the movie and art industry are kind of easy or say too liberal on their morals or fidielity. Dont judge them on the basis of average middle class morals.WE are making saints out of the people who acted in sllum dog.We must remember they are just kids. who knows they could turn to drugs in a few years. Generally kids in the lime light do that as they grow up because of pressures on them.

I feel very much proud of AR Rahman, Gulzar and Resul Pookkutty.
But with due respet to all who worked for this film, let us see some facts. I heard some news that Freido Pinto cheated her husband. She is said to have married a marketing executive called Rohan Antao. But after getting world wide fame, she felt inferior to have him as husband and so dumped him. If this news true, it is enough to caste shadow over India's Oscar winning glory.

Don't get upset. Today's world is like that. In the name of practicality, even relationships are calculated & manipulated. It's really difficult remain humane & honest nowadays.
Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto 'dumped her secret husband after becoming a star' By Mail Foreign Service Last updated at 10:32 AM on 18th February 2009 Comments (65) Add to My Stories The star of Slumdog Millionaire has been hiding a secret husband whom she ditched after the film became a hit, it was claimed today.
Freida Pinto, 24, is said to have married Rohan Antao at a ceremony in Goa in December 2007 but last month ended their relationship. The couple were previously thought only to have been engaged.
Pinto, a model who landed her first film role with Slumdog Millionaire, is expected to attend the Oscar ceremony on Sunday night but without her former partner whom she met at college.
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.
even great bollywood actors not achieved in 20-30 years Freida did it in one film. this is called luck. Money will flow like rain on her. She wont be reachable to indians

you're so right dev. I am very proud of Freida in fact if you see her appearances on Western media she speaks confidently with her usual Indian accent. What in the world has she done to shame India?? We should be proud of her. One cannot hate another person just for having luck; only for abusing it.
What is so special in winning firangi award? do we really retrospect why we are so overjoyed or overreacted? Can anybody tell me why the name "SLUMDOG". This is all media hype, and the this ression period, the hollywood has tried to attaract more investments

Awards like Oscar can bring more recognition to Indians ... Like Frieda already bagged another role with Woody Allen...

Slum dog has been taken from the word underdog! Since the story belongs to the slum boy it has been modified to slumdog.
