when a foreigner directs indian film, he will be nominated for oscars. btu when many great directors like shyam benegal and many mallu, tamil, kannada and telugu film directors take similar ones "naturally", they are ignored..

Friend just a correction...its a british prodcution, made by a british director/ producer but only shot in India....so its not an Indian film....
it is good to see three indian there...rehman( three nomination ) for original score& two songs...gulzar and Maya Arulpragasam for best song competing each other..

And i am sure you will be the first to watch it or may be you have already watched it!!
This movie is releasing in India tomorrow, those of u who r very proud of this movie and who r getting happy that Indian movie has reached so far just watch the movie, u won't feel good about India. Its not a reality movie, that boy is shown as chaiwalla in call center and see his accent he speaks in pure brit english. To be very frank its not a reality movie nor its a masala movie. In India this movie is going to be a big flop. The only hype it is getting in west is due to the slums shown in Mumbai. Why Indian media is going crazy if it is getting so much nominations, this is not an Indian movie. Compare it with TZP which was sent for oscars, there is no comparison between the two. TZP is far better than this slumdog millionaire. This movie will be a big flop in India.

It is very average movie. I saw it last month.. and it has shown indian poverty, corrupt system... you probably won't like it. nothing great than "Salaam Bombay"...

TZP and rahman music in bombay/dilse/tiruda tiruda or RDB deserves an oscar not the avg music in SDM. Why was his better works not acknowledged ever???
Except for Rehman, no indian gets nominated in any category. There are people who tout it as an Indian film with a few foreign technicians. Strange are the ways of hollywood and oscars and the indian supporters, who leave no hollywood hole unlicked

Rahman is not the only Indian to get nominated... Slumdog has been nominated in both Sound Editing and Sound mixing.... and the nominee is Resul Pookutty, Indian....
nobody will be offende when they cah in on mumbai blasts.but showing a few glimpses of reality offends? lets work on our drawbacks.lets not get offended when we see a little truth. fix it fix it fix...should be the answer when we see it.
