He also is entitled to his own opinion as you or I. Just because he is a public figure does not mean that he should always have opinions that make everyone happy... but then again, i totally agree with you Jo that actors and directors down in the south and it’s film industry is totally ignored and that Bollywood is sold as the “Indian” cinema in the international market.. many good movies from here dont get the recognition that they deserve...

When a stupid commercial movie is released here, its never the native British people who go to watch them, its the Indians or British Indians and Pakistanis that swarm the theatre...the last movie I saw a couple of brits seeing was Jodha Akbar. SM is an international movie for an international audience. There were barely any desis there The fact is that people who do watch news (minorities again!) and people who have access to India (ex: your clients, minorities again!) are the ones who donot give into the perception....rest of the world, a majority, who still are ignorant fools, think we live in dumps! And to talk of development, since when did we start making news? except, ofcourse for kashmir and bomb blasts? I'm just saying I understand why Amitabh said what he did...but the issue is blown way out of proportion by the media and us alike...the length of my comment warrants it :) somebody above said the slums added to the beauty of the movie...I agree :)!
