Typical Britishers: who is SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE???

1. They came to India
2. They paid the Indians less
3. They made millions of pounds, look who is millionaires now.
4. They got all the fame they wanted


Now they don't give a damn about India or anything. They are happy to show britishers about the India's pathetic condition and get pride by Britishers.

In a nutshell, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE is nothing but Britisher's vision about India as a SLUM, Indians as DOGS and using them to become MILLIONAIRES. So in reality, the movie makers are the SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRES.

Slumdog millionaire Flaws/Goofs

1. "Who wants to be a millionare" being broadcasted LIVE!!!

"A scene from movie people watching the show live"



2. Latika being dragged down in a overcrowded Mumbai railway station was hilarious & when you see people watching it without reacting to it, it reminds me 1960's bollywod movies, where people used to congregate to watch the film shooting. Believe me, it 's humanly impossible even in 2006 unless you had AK47 in your hand & went crazy like terrorist did last year in Mumbai. No one in India will tolerate a girl being tortured in public like that.

"Salim dragging down Lathika through crowded train"


3. Is this really a last question for 2 crore? Is it that easy? Any 5 yr old can answer it.



4. If you still remember kaun banega crorepati (Indian version of Who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire), there were 16 questions to be answered before you take 2 crore home. In the film they showed him answering to only 5 questions that coincided with his life & he used all the 3 lifelines for answering them. Even if we think it 5 questions coincided and he answered 4 by himself, he still have to answer 7 questions without any lifelines. It was not convincing enough.




5. If you remember the rules of kaun banega crorepati, Even if you loose after passing, 5th question, you are assured of taking Rs.10,000 home. Similarly after 10th question, you will take Rs.320,000. So this script was wrong.



6. The last scene where Salim was shot and killed also looked like 1960 movies, where is the blood???



7. Panipuri?? Really? Its dahi puri, my favorite. Ask Indians Danny.



8. You said it right to Danny boss, "No filming". You are true hero in the movie. They still filmed inside dissing him. Please don't shoot any more films insulting Indians.



9. Salim & Jamal talking in fluent English frequently in the movie even though they didn't go to school looked unrealistic (but wait, watch this video clip). Look at the dumb foreigners thinking that Jamal is a guide & believing whatever he told was also unrealistic.
