Talking to Times of India from Los Angeles an hour after he picked up his Oscar, a slightly out of breath, Boyle said, “I’m truly happy that every Indian I meet is beaming, and it is the ultimate compliment for me that people in India see Slumdog Millionaire as an Indian film. However, in reality it is a British film. It is a very gritty in the beginning and very realistic because our film culture is based on that kind of realism which in Hollywood and Bollywood isn’t quite there.’’

I wonder why Bollywood does not have the reality Boyle talks about, oh wait, maybe its because indians already live the reality and want to be in fantasy land for a brief 3 hours. Sounds fair? Besides i am glad Boyle clarified things, bringing all the gushing, clapping bufoons back to the ground.
