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

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.

Amitabh Bachchan

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

Nushrat Bharucha

How many more people right now feel connected to Mumbai because of Slumdog Millionaire, or suddenly are interested in the plight of orphans on Mumbai after seeing that film? The same thing with the Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns.

Khaled Hosseini

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.

Vilmos Zsigmond

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

Raveena Tandon

'Slumdog Millionaire' was as good or as bad any Bollywood film. If I had to rate it, I would give it just 5.5 points out of 10. Unlike others, I am not gung-ho about the film winning so many Oscars. Yes, I am happy that I was a part of the project, but I am yet to figure out why it got so many Oscars.

Mahesh Manjrekar

I think 'Slumdog' was probably the first big film that happened in India, but even that seemed like a one-off thing.

Tena Desae

'Toofan Singh' is a Punjabi film based on a terrorist. The Pahlaj led CBFC banned the film because according to them the film glorifies terrorism, and that might give a wrong message to today's youth. However, the film has been released in many countries, and has been received warmly. Unfortunately, it never saw the light of day in India.

Raza Murad

My role in 'Slumdog Millionaire' was a cameo, but it did expose me to cinema and took me to Cannes. I then did 'Prague,' which was a very niche film.

Arfi Lamba

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

Kumar Sanu

One of the best things about the award season is that when a British film succeeds at the Oscars and BAFTAs, such as 'Slumdog Millionaire' in 2009 and 'The King's Speech' this year, the British public get right behind it with an immense sense of national pride.

Gurinder Chadha

You know as a director what you want, but the film is smarter than you, the film says no, the film says there's something more here.

John Cassavetes

I get invited to many more literary festivals than I used to because I'm associated with 'Slumdog Millionaire,' the brand. Many more doors have opened up for me as a result of the global success of the film, although I believe that I'm the same person that existed before it.

Vikas Swarup

I always wanted to make this film or another film. I thought the worst thing you could do was to react to Slumdog's success in some way. I thought it would be really foolish.
