"India's commercial capital may be booming but there's a dark underbelly of crime, deprivation and poverty that is often ignored or misrepresented by Indian cinema and the government."

“The more interesting question is: whom do we trust to best describe the experience of the poor? Ideally, the answer should be the poor themselves”

“Slumdog doesn’t simply plunder India’s troubled past and a boy’s bitter-sweet memories in order to look forward. What’s great about the film is that it looks sideways as the past and future grind past each other like tectonic plates”

"Digs into India's gritty depths, where it juxtaposes squalor, exploitation and corruption with humanity's fight to overcome it"
