'Dog'ing The Millionaire 1:10 PM

The world just doesn't seem to amuse one, does it?

After the typical Bollywood-ishtyle entertainer Slumdog Millionaire drew protests against its name, Nicholas Almeida, a social activist and slum dweller himself, has filed a complaint in a local court against the filmmakers, saying the film's title was 'damaging and discriminating.'

Not only this, he has gone an extra mile to hold a naming ceremony for stray dogs in his slum.
And, adding to the zing, the names are - Danny, Christian, Loveleen, Freida and Dev!

Clever, isn't it?
But what such protesters need to understand is that the name Slumdog Millionaire is metaphoric for an underdog slum dweller.

Till then, Slum it up!

i really don't know what's the big deal bout all these protests. it looks like some people have a lot of time to waste.
secondly the movie does not exaggerate anything. Infact life in the slums is even much tougher than what depicted

Exactly.
The film has not been taken in the right spirit. It is, after all the slum shots that it shows, a film about love, destiny and triumph. Hindi Film Industry has been churning out such films for a long time now.
