The Indian movies, unlike American or British movies are not so familiar to the world. Maybe the Indian culture and dialects are not so familiar to the outside world. For that matter even within India you will find such vide range of dialects and cultures. Many good films made in different Indian languages won’t even get a national acclaim leave out being seen by the people outside. Slum dog having won so many Oscars, got widely discussed and got watched by many people around the world. Many of them are watching an Indian movie for the first time in life. Slumdog showing a bad face of India, could leave behind a poor first impression about the life in India. I think this is the reason behind such a hue and cry against Slum dog. Off course no one can deny that India has got a rosy face as well.
