Salam

Slumdog Millionaire is not only a shit film, it is a racist movie.

Just look at it.

Only the complete idiots would miss the message of the film makers.

Even the title gives it away.

Now there is noise demanding change of name.

Director is thinking of calling it: "Top Dog"

Thats a little more acceptable to Indians.

The film is directed by Danny Boyle. It stars Freida Pinto and Dev Patel who
plays the dog from the slums of India.

wednesdayI liked it. I thought it protrayed a whole new dimension to South East Asia and it's suppose to be a feel-good-movie.

South East Asia? I thought it was set in India or somewhere.

Excellant film. Defo one to watch. Nufin racist about it. The only bits i didnt like were when he says "if it hadnt been for Ram and Allah(swt) then my mum would still be alive". Why do ppl take it out on religion? And the irrelvant dance scene at the end. That just killed it.

Depends on what u mean by Indian film?

Is it anything like a bolly? Absolutely not. How do i know this? Coz bolly is trash and this was good. Dont take my word for it watch it. But i have to warn u its not for he faint hearted (has some really cruel scenes in it) Here a good link. Enjoy 😃
