"Slumdog" too real for Indian film fans?

"Slumdog" too real for Indian film fans - Yahoo! News
"Slumdog Millionaire" swept the Golden Globes and is generating Oscar buzz, but the film may not be as warmly received in India where it was shot and where millions live in the squalor depicted in the movie.

The film, which will be released in India next week in about 300 cinemas, won four awards at the Golden Globe awards Sunday, including one for Indian music composer AR Rahman for best original score.

The win sparked a frenzy in the Indian media, which hailed Rahman as a genius, and predicted an Oscar win for the 43-year-old.
