More Slumdog News – as Western audiences fall head over heels for the film, which is gaining momentum as an Oscar frontrunner, certain individuals in India are expressing their suspicion.

When one of those certain individuals is Amitabh Bachchan, also known as the Big B., one of the biggest (if not the biggest) Bollywood stars in history, then the media pays attention.

The Big B. is apparently concerned that Slumdog portrays India as a "third world, ditry, underbelly developing nation."
