One of the child actors who starred in the Oscar-winning flick "Slumdog Millionaire" received a severe beating from his dad today after the 10-year-old star refused to be put on display like a trophy. Less than a week after strutting down the red carpet in Los Angeles, actor Azharuddin Mohammed was slapped and kicked by his dad Ismail, The London Sun reported today on its Web site. "I was very sorry that I did what I did," he said afterward. "I was so confused and stressed by my son's homecoming that I did not know myself for a minute. I love my boy and I am very happy to have him home." The ugly fight - which lasted less than a minute - broke out this morning in the Dharavi slum

“Indians are not typically Muslim, rather they are Budists.”
I think you meant Hindu’s.
Translation: Who let all these cameras in here?
Welcome back to the third world, chummy.
Maybe the father will become like Murry Wilson did when he sons formed the Beach Boys.
Or even Buddhists.
Perhaps adherents of Buddhism.
Surely not these unknown "Budists" of which you write.
..The movie was a dark, brutal glimpse into the underbelly of India.
To its credit however, the brutality was not near as graphic as it could have been....and the language not as strong...and there were not gratuitous sex scenes....
..a lot was implied, but what was shown was hardcore slum life.
On the other hand, Benjamin Button was genteel & surreal.
Slumdog deserved awards but not Best Picture,IMO.
Many folks were mislead into thinking it a 'happy' movie... ...
..Very little happiness in this movie...a lot of brutality.
Do you think a father should beat his son because he just wants to be a normal kid?
If so, then you're position is warped.
Respect is earned, not taken. The father has just lost a lot of respect his son may have had for him.

How muslim of him.
Did you even watch the movie ... or do you just hate colored folk?
I’m Indian. It is :)

Actually most, (80.5%) are Hindu. Since the Buddhists do not allow the monks to marry it was a lot easier for the religion of peace to wipe them out of India, Buddhisms birthplace.
I liked the Erik Kuselias’ review on ESPN Radio of ‘Slumdog’ “It was a two-hour beatdown. It made Schindler’s List look like Animal House”
The clip I saw had an entire group of people singing and dancing at a train station. Not for me at all.
From WIKIPEDIA: “Religious demographics
Main article: Religion in India
80.5% of the Indians are Hindus, with 13.4% of the population Muslim, making India home to the third-largest Muslim population in the world after Indonesia and Pakistan. India also contains the majority of the world’s Zoroastrians, Sikhs, Jains and Bahá’í. Other religious groups include Christians (2.3%), Buddhists (0.8%), Jains (0.4%), and Jews.
Religious majorities vary greatly by state. Jammu and Kashmir and Lakshadweep are Muslim majority states; Nagaland, Mizoram and Meghalaya are Christian majority; Punjab is mostly Sikh; Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim are mainly Buddhist.
But Barnum was kind and generous to Thumb. I doubt if this father is so loving. He should be watched like a hawk.
The son is lucky he wasn't beheaded as an honor thing when he balked at his father's wishes.

????
I believe the brother’s mother was killed in the movie
by Hindus,because they were Muslims.
Dad jealous of son's success?
