A Quote by Amitabh Bachchan

If Slumdog Millionaire projects India as a Third World, dirty-underbelly, developing nation and causes pain and disgust among nationalists and patriots, let it be known that a murky underbelly exists and thrives even in the most developed nations. It's just that the Slumdog Millionaire idea authored by an Indian and conceived and cinematically put together by a Westerner, gets creative Golden Globe recognition. The other would perhaps not.

I am very happy with 'Jai Ho' from 'Slumdog Millionaire' getting the Golden Globe. It means a lot for Indians and the music here.

Gulzar

'Slumdog Millionaire' has truly opened newer avenues for India.

Raveena Tandon

Slumdog Millionaire has been a great achievement. It has opened the doors of Hollywood for Indian cinema.

Payal Rohatgi

I don't want people abroad to see India like it's shown in a film like 'Slumdog Millionaire.' We are at par with the world.

Badshah

Audiences are demanding more movies like 'Slumdog Millionaire.' Poverty in India is a very important issue that we want to highlight.

Kumar Sanu

I think that I altered history in 'Elizabeth,' and I interpreted history far more than Danny Boyle or Richard Attenborough did to 'Slumdog Millionaire' or 'Gandhi.' They took Indian novels or Indian characters and very much stayed within the Indian diaspora.

Shekhar Kapur

The film 'Slumdog Millionaire' portrays the spirit you feel in India. For those who haven't been there, the film says it all.

Lynda Resnick

My biggest inspiration was the music of Slumdog Millionaire.' The music that Rahman tried had such an Indian sound, but that didn't stop it from winning two Oscars.

Santhosh Narayanan

Our culture is making a big difference and, whether it's our curries or movies like "Slumdog Millionaire" or whether it's just the Bollywood numbers to which a lot of the world is rocking, I think India's soft power is going up. And we are contributing a lot of entrepreneurs to the world as well whether it's people like Lakshmi Mittal or Indra Nooyi or thinkers like Amalti Singh. This is all happening because of there's something fundamentally right and thoughtful about Indian society.

Cyril Shroff

Everything big-budget or stereotypical I was offered after 'Slumdog Millionaire' was a huge no-no.

Freida Pinto

'City of God' and 'Slumdog Millionaire' are both films that I really like, but they are stylistically the opposite of what I wanted to do.

Cary Fukunaga

Some things are very low profile, but if they excite me creatively, I accept them. Sometimes there are high-profile projects, and you have to do it. We all have human limitations. It is a painful decision to turn things down. Even accepting 'Slumdog Millionaire' was a decision that I had to sacrifice another project.

A. R. Rahman

I was one of the shortlisted girls for the female lead of the Oscar-winning film 'Slumdog Millionaire' along with Freida Pinto.

Nushrat Bharucha

I'm not a very big fan of 'Slumdog Millionaire.' I think it's visually brilliant. But I have problems with the story line. I find the storyline unconvincing.

Salman Rushdie

Above all, Danny Boyle's 'Slumdog Millionaire' is the work of an artist at the peak of his powers. India is his palette, and Mumbai - that teeming 'maximum city', with 19 million strivers on the make, jostling, scheming, struggling and killing for success - is his brush.

Shashi Tharoor

I don't think there is any advantage to digital unless it's in a case like Slumdog Millionaire, where you have to get a shot and a big bulky film camera is out of the question.
