The much acclaimed movie Slumdog Millionaire - a rags-to-riches tale of a boy from an Indian slum - is drawing criticism from actual slum dwellers, who say its title is insulting.An Indian activist who represents a group of slum dwellers, Tapeshwar Vishwakarma, is taking their issue with the Oscar-nominated movie to court.
He filed a lawsuit against the film's Indian music composer, A.R. Rahman, and one of its stars, Anil Kapoor, for depicting slum dwellers in a bad light and violating their human rights.
The activist's lawyer says his client did not expect much from the film's British director, Danny Boyle, but that what hurt him was that the Indian people associated with the film did not object to the name.
