I agree with Weasel and edifis, that it is a mix of facts with fiction, in general bollywood commercial style with a fresh love story. Riots and killings are not common in india.
I feel it is purely an indian movie and just to reply MANDI that if this movie is not made by Danny (an outsiders view), this will end up in many controversies.
It is a gutsy job done by Danny, who has shown the reality of slum dwellers life in Mumbai/Dharavi
(mostly muslims migrated from the state of West Bengal, Tamilnadu, UP and Bihar).
Story is based on a book written by Vikas Swarup Q & A later adapted screenplay written by Simon Beaufoy, who got an Oscar.
I agree it is an Hybrid movie, as technically made by British and Indian professionals and finally received 8 academy awards!
