Slumdog Millionaire

Grand success of Slumdog Millionaire proves that there are many people interested in Indian day to day life all around the world. However, many in India told that this movie is typical western vision of poor India. That is a typical Indian mindset what encourages to overlook the truth and live in flimsy world. The Bollywood (Indian film industry) movies show everything far from reality though the trend is little changed recently and some creative persons are coming in the industry. But the creative movies are still not widely appreciated, probably Indian people love only formula not substance. In Hollywood every year many movies related on Jews killings, gay rights and racial differences are released. But in India producers want to exploit only actresses’ bodies and jumping jack type stunt scenes. There are many tragedies and stories of hope happening in India every day. Why can't Indian movies project these sentiments to broad public? If projected in right way, I am sure stories of south can be sold in north and west in east and vice versa. Ultimately we are the world's most diverse and migrated people and each among us carries his or her unique story.
