Yes India is far bigger than slums, but danny did not make a film about INDIA! Its a film about Jamal, his chhodiold love Latika, a manipulative gameshow host and a brilliantly put together joyride, set in the Slums of Mumbai, the slums of mumbai is just the bachdrop, the canvas if you may, the emotions are universal. That is why it connects. And lets not make this a west vs india debate, you have a problem with the way they percieve you, maybe you should adapt to the country you chose to migrate to, India or film makers are not gonna carry the cross for ur sake.
