Just days after Amitabh Bachchan blasted Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire saying it showed India in poor light the movie is part of a fresh controversy now. The General Secretary of the slum dweller's association has filed a defamation suit against music director A R Rahman and actor Anil Kapoor alleging the movie's title tags the people living in the slum as dogs.

Tapeshwar Vishwakarma who filed the case says that the movie has depicted the people living in the slum in bad taste and used derogatory terms against them. Vishwakarma argues that the use of the term dog in the movie is defamatory. The slum dwellers have approached the State and the National Human Rights Commission for necessary action to be taken against Rahman and Anil Kapoor.

I agree 100% with all the comments posted by the reviewers. All these years Mr. Amitabh Bachchan has never even bothered to look at these poor kids and their families and was instead busy acting and directing costly but trash bollywood movies. His son and daughter-in-law have been acting in high budget movies of "no-substance" whatsoever. Now that a Britisher utilized the resources so impressively, he is criticizing him for putting down the country in front of the world! Come on Mr. Bachchan, do something for these people living in slums while you are enjoying life little bit too much!!

What a bunch of blathering buffoons! They are upset that the slum-dwellers have been called dogs! What's wrong with them? Those poor, unfortunate people, for whom my heart aches, live LIKE dogs, which they do not deserve. How about that? Stop beating around the bush and do something to better ther lives of these people rather than launching frivolous lawsuits!
