   No, but if you are referring to the Psycho-anthropological statement and other various points from Slumdog Millionaire, I know many people from India were upset. In terms of the films itself– it was entertaining, but plagued by a flawed narative.

   The film Slumdog Millionaire, which won 8 Academy Awards in 2009, has been the subject of a number of controversies, notably regarding how it portrays Indian society and whether any of the people involved in it were exploited.

   Following its release in India, the film faced criticism from various members of the public alleging that the film fuels Western stereotypes about poverty in India and that it peddles “poverty porn”.Tapeshwar Vishwakarma, a representative of a slum-dwellers’ welfare group, filed a defamation lawsuit against the film’s music composer A.R. Rahman and actor Anil Kapoor, alleging that grim depiction of slum dwellers violated their human rights. Vishwakarma’s filing argued that the very title of the movie is derogatory, and he was particularly displeased that Indians associated with the film did not object to the use of word “slumdog.” Nicholas Almeida, a social activist working in Mumbai, organized a protest against the film on the grounds that it intentionally exploited the poor for the purposes of profit, also arguing that the title Slumdog Millionaire is offensive, demeaning, and insulting to their dignity. The protesters were Mumbai slum dwellers who objected to the film’s title and held up signs reading: “I am not a dog.” Slum dwellers in Patna, the capital of the Indian state of Bihar, also protested against the movie, with the campaign reaching a climax on 26 January 2009, when “protesters tore down posters and ransacked a movie theatre” screening the film. The following day, the police in Bihar tightened security “outside theatres in the state to thwart any further attacks.” Activists stated that slum dwellers would continue to protest until the film’s director deleted the word “dog” from the title

   The title wasn’t intended to be funny.

   It was supposed to point to the movie theme – that people can start in one place and end up very far from where they started.

   Mumbai is a place with very rich and influential people as well as very poor residents. It’s also the kind of place where some can be callous, tossing out insensitive insults towards those less fortunate. I thought the word slumdog came from language the very powerful use against the disadvantaged.

   A number of Indians have humble beginnings but live to achieve fame, fortune and to make major contributions in medicine, technology or other areas. The title is meant to say that in 2 words.
