‘Slumdog Millionaire’ depicting the sad side of Mumbai

One wonders whether the film has any relieving feature or even remotely induces the rich & the affluent to mitigate the rigours of slum problems.

Mr. Amitabh Bachchan deserves full support & compliments for speaking out against such depiction of poverty squalor & dirt without any relieving feature. Years back Mrs. Nargis Dutt then an M.P,vouched similar views about famous trilogy of Satyajit Ray & rightly .

Such films should at least convey some message,some motivation to the public and more so the elite to come forward & improve their lot. Instead,the film makers,actors,theaters make crores on depiction of such gruesome sites,at times nauseating but totally meaningless.

One hopes,pseudo art critics,media & the elite do not acclaim such films but take example from films like “Tare jamin par” which are elevating,and motivating films.
