Complaint against 'Slumdog Millionaire': Court orders probe

Mumbai, Jan 27 (PTI) A local court here today directed the city police to probe into the complaint filed against Oscar nominated movie 'Slumdog Millionaire' and submit its report by February 25. The complaint, filed against the movie and its director Danny Boyle on January 23 by social activist Nicholas Almeida, said that the title is "defamatory" and "completely against society", and demanded a change in the word 'Slumdog'.

According to the complainant, the movie is damaging the minds of children living in slums and "creating hatred against poor slum-dwellers in the minds of established and capitalist people." Directing the police to investigate and file a report stating if the movie hurts the sentiments of slum-dwellers, the Andheri metropolitan magistrate today issued notices to Boyle, producer of the movie Christian Colson and distributors Warner Bros Pictures.
