I agree with the last person who rated this film as horrible.
Such films give any genre of independent film a bad name. I think now that Mehta's is trying to show mainstream audiences taboo topics in an interesting way but, failing miserably. I thought the film was shot well and looked colorful enough yet I felt that Chand's character could have been better developed and I would also like to have seen Rocky in any other light but a monster. I am sure even he is a victim of some abuse from his family but his father did not even seem as evil as he was.
I cannot understand how some Indians can be ashamed of slum dog for depicting India as "a dirty country" when films like this show just how horrible some Indian community's are yet seem to accept it as just as another fact of life. I guess that's the message the film is going for...?
