There is lot of speculations as to how the international community percieves the Slumdog phenomenon. At this time, it is still on the charts and have steady collection internationally as well as in India. After Golden Globes and Oscar Slumdog showed increase in collections and its almost half a month since Oscars, still the flick is steady on the charts. Certainly people do watch it, and its not just desi public, the americans too likes the film. Where does Bollywood stand after Slumdog? Well, Bollywood does not come into picture at all. Its very subtle and complex to characterize the impact of Slumdog and impression of Indian subculture or Bollywood or any kind of shift in perception after Slumdog. The best way is analogy to some other phenomenon, and here is the best way to describe it throught this tool. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, a long ago marked a milestone at Oscar and it was a Chinese stuff. Now analogy is like this. Slumdog is to India what CTHD is to China.
