The Oscar Awards winning movie Slumdog Millionaire, has created a wave among the Westerners, who have watched the movie. Many of the Charitable Trusts in India have started to experience its feedback from people in Europe, asking for details of children whom they can sponsor. Yahoo News have reported a news showing a surge in Child's sponsorship.
While the child actors in the movie have impacted psychologically after returning to the same old condition of their tarpaulin houses in Mumbai. Now the things has completely changed with them. The children refuse to return to their old condition before the movie bagging eight Oscar awards(see..Yahoo News). Even though, the state government have promised to shift these children's families to new apartments, it seems to take much longer time. Since the plight of children have changed, their families in turn have also started put them in demand. Rubina Ali, who stars the child Lathika in the movie is put on a bargain by her own mother who left her early and the step-mother, who is now looking after her (Yahoo News).
Now the slum people have awaken to the light that the 'Slumdog Millionaire' have created. But there are comments that the people are becoming too greedy. When all of a sudden the poor people come across riches, their mentality changes and they will start to look upon them with great unrest. The movie is said to create some impact upon the lives of slum people in India. Especially, the children who are deprived of basic things in life. The westerners as well as Indians might contribute or will be ready to take up sponsorship for at least one child. So, the hope is awaking?
