Thanks to the team, I got to know of this reality. What comes to my mind is ... was SlumDog Millionaire a reality cinema show. Isnt it ironic that as the film makers and the stars rake in millions and win prestigious awards, the lil boy and his family continue to live in ruins.
Moral decision is not the right word that one has to use for such a blasphemous and fantasy ridden thoughts. Doesnt the boy and his family need to grow both physically and in stature, just as the other staff of the film. What is the civil society doing? I feel the boy and his family have got every right to be a part of the glory of the Movie.
Cos every body lives to enjoy the fruit of their hardwork of the moment.
And not leave it for their decsendants to enjoy the fruits.
Hope the real sense prevails on the makers of the movie.
