Slumdog Millionaire could get into IIMs in the near future. Its latest admirer is our ex-finance minister P.Chidambaram. He seems to have lost his head over it.
reports that speaking at a launch of International Financial Corporation-Venture East-Bharatiya Yuva Shakti Trust (an NGO)-sponsored fund to promote grassroots entrepreneurship in India, Chidamabaram cited the movie portraying the rags to riches story of a boy from Mumbai slum as an example to show that young boys and girls from slums are not lagging behind corporate India.
He exhorted his audience, "Please watch the movie after its release". It seems that after seeing the film, his eyes have been opened- "A slum like Dharavi in Mumbai is humming with business ideas and innovations", is what he told his audience.
What next?
