Is Slumdog Millionaire an Indian movie?

Answer 1

While I am not sure where the post-production work was done (read the credits), yes, the movie was filmed in Mumbai, in slums in the Bandra area and obviously in the CST Train Station (aka Victoria Station).

Answer 2

No. It is set in India, and was filmed on location, but the producer, screenwriter and director as well as most of the crew is British. For example: If a movie is filmed in Italy, it doesn't make it an Italian movie.

Answer 3

No, it is not. While it was filmed in Mumbai, it is produced using a western style and lacks most of the melodrama and spontaneous singing / dancing that are highlights of Bollywood films.

It depends on whom you ask. According to MTV.com reporter Akshay Bhansali, the movie is not representative of a typical Bollywood movie. According to Bhansali, "...it bears none of the telltale Bollywood film characteristics. It's dark and gritty. There are no love triangles or exaggerated theatrical monologues. The characters do not escape to the majesty of the Swiss Alps for elaborate, innuendo-filled dance numbers. In fact, the film's sole nod to the Indian film industry remains the dance number in Mumbai's Victoria Station during the closing credits."
Slumdog Millionaire is a british drama film which directed by Danny Boyle (2008). It is not a bollywood film but it set and filmed in india. The majority of charecters which acting in this film are indians , thats why its look like a bollywood movie.

Answer 4

Slumdog Millionaire was filmed entirely in India.

Answer 5

Yes
