Many critics including Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan have said that British filmmaker Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire is a hard-hitting but exuberant tale of life in a Mumbai slum, is being lauded because it has a Westerner at the helm.
Its director, Danny Boyle, has faced accusations from some parts of the Indian media that his film was "poverty porn." Boyle has said he was trying to capture Mumbai's "lust for life."
The low budget film, which has scooped several international awards including the BAFTA film awards on Sunday, triumphed at the Golden Globes last month with four honours including best drama and won ten Oscar nominations.
