It just showed Ugly face of the sub continent , because it sells. If they focus on something positive about India then it must not have done such remarkable business.
I think that's with all movies...but anyway what they showed "does" happen and people need to be aware of it and see the world as it is and not through a rosy colored glass.
It was a good story, told well - that is the reason it did well. NewsBlaze had reviews and letters to the editor about it. Many Indians complained that they were being made fools of because it showed some bad things. I don't believe that is true. No country is perfect. Real life is often far worse than what is portrayed in movies.
It wasn't a documentary, it was fiction. Look what happened when they boy went home - his father beat him up! Stop thinking the rest of the world thinks badly of you because of one movie, because it isn't true.
If you get all the people together that think it says something bad about your country or local area, you could actually do something about that. Or do you prefer to just complain, because that is easy?
Tearing something down is 10 times easier than building something. I built a newspaper from nothing and I build my local community and help others across the world - what are you doing for your community?
I don't think it was showing India in a bad light because I think writers and filmmakers sometimes look at the expereinces of people who are less fortunate. They have a sense of sympathy and can make it into an art that moves people. From the perspective of someone living in America, I find many people understand that Indians are on the rise. At the same time there are many people who are compassionate.
I haven't seen the movie so not eligible to give any comment. However, about the Bollywood industry I feel that It has started making its mark in a true sense. Overall, the Indian community is not bothered much about whether good or bad image of the country is being portrayed. They remain very optimistic about the future of industry as today white men discuss slum kids tomorrow they will discuss slum kids who became scholars, economist and leaders.
