The latest against ‘Slumdog Millionaire’

  • IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,March 17 2009]

A mistake that never surfaced till now is now going to prove pain in the neck for the makers of ‘Slumdog Millionaire’. Savitha Singh Nepali has filed a case against the film. Though people have filed a couple of other cases against the hugely celebrated film, this one sure take the cake.

The cause for approaching the court is due to misinterpretation of a fact. Don’t we all remember the scene in ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ where the protagonist Jamaal is asked by the quiz master a question about the writer of the song ‘Darshan Do Ghanshayam Nath Mori Ankhiya Pyasi’.

The options given to Jamaal for this question were Tulsidas, Kabir, Meerabai and Surdas. The protagonist picks out “Surdas” which is proclaimed the right answer by the quiz master played by Anil Kapoor.

Savitha Sing Nepali has now brought into light that the song was not actually written by Surdas but by her father Gopal Singh Nepali. The song is from a film titled as ‘Narsi Bhagat’ which came out in the year 1957. Gopal Singh Nepali had worked for Hindi films as a lyricist for around 20 years before he died in the year 1963.

Savitha, who runs the Gopal Singh Nepali Foundation, has filed the case in the Chief Judicial Magistrate court in Patna.

The case has been filed against the director of ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ – Danny Boyle, producer of the film, author Vikas Swarup on whose novel “Q and A” the film’s core is based, Chairman of the Oscar Awards committee and the Chairman of the Golden Globe Awards Committee.
