Center
Primary
While depicting the harsh realities of poverty and corruption, the film's central narrative champions individual resilience and the role of destiny and personal experience in overcoming adversity, rather than advocating for systemic political change.
The film authentically represents its Indian setting with a diverse, non-white cast, which is integral to its narrative rather than a result of explicit DEI-driven casting choices. Its story explores themes of poverty and resilience within a specific socio-economic context, without explicitly critiquing or negatively framing traditional Western identities.
Secondary
The film depicts Hindu extremist mobs as perpetrators of brutal communal violence against Muslims, portraying them as cruel and hateful without significant narrative counter-balance for this specific aspect.
The film portrays Muslims primarily as victims of communal violence, positioning the audience to sympathize with their suffering and condemn the bigotry they face. The narrative frames the violence against them as unequivocally wrong.
Slumdog Millionaire does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers on the protagonist's life experiences, love story, and quest for recognition, without engaging with queer identity or issues.
Slumdog Millionaire does not include any explicit transsexual characters or themes within its narrative. The story primarily explores themes of poverty, survival, and love in the context of Mumbai's slums and a game show.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "Slumdog Millionaire" is an adaptation of the novel "Q & A." All major characters, including Jamal, Salim, and Latika, maintain the same gender as established in the original source material. No characters canonically or historically established as one gender are portrayed as a different gender in the film.
The film is an adaptation of a novel set in India, featuring characters who are consistently portrayed as Indian in both the source material and the film. There are no instances where a character's established race from the source was changed for the screen.
