The Slumdogs Blog

But the much effort taking Indian directors are angry that their works were not given any consideration simply because those were directed by Indians and also the Westerners would like to see Indians as an underbelly nation. The famous director Priyadharshan had bursted out that his film Kanjeevaram which was shown alongside Boyle's film in the Toronto Film Festival was not given any consideration. He has joined the bandwagon in slamming Danny Boyle's underdog saga ‘Slumdog Millionaire' and has called the film a ‘cheap trashy mediocre version' of erstwhile Bollywood hits.

While, the Indian Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor, who played an important role in the film says that everyone who worked for this film didn't have any commerce in mind but wanted it to be a good film. He has donated his wages after playing the role in the movie's Who Wants To Be A Millionaire TV host, to Plan India, which helps underprivileged kids in the country. And Kapoor reveals that it was his own humble upbringing which inspired him to donate the money to the organization. Like this he feels that many other Indians who have watched the film and have a feel for the Underprivileged Children will surely do some kind of help to charitable trusts that looks after these kind of children.
