I have not seen the film yet, but have read many reviews. My conclusion based on them is that the western world (British director - the same people who ruled us for over 150 years) has made an excellent piece of poverty porn out of India. The projection of Mumbai and India as a whole is slum (as if there are no homeless people in the developed countries). Using the word dog (even if some one defends that its a newly coined word = slum + underdog = slumdog) is derogatory.

After reading this blog (mentioned above) and the comments there in, I have decided not to watch this film and have decided to stop thinking about it. I will not be able to stand the kind of violence shown in the film (as described in the blog).
