India Jump - February 2009

Do you think Slumdog Millionaire will increase travel to India?

February 28th 2009 06:08
Slumdog Millionaire won 8 Oscars and Golden Globe and the BAFTA awards apart from other international awards this year. It seemed as if every award function had somehow indianised this year. So with the film becoming such a super hit across the world and with it being the story of an Indian, will this movie help increase tourism to India?


You know, people might get curious about Mumbai, the Taj Mahal ( which was shown in the movie) and India after watching the movie and may even plan a trip here. It is not a bad decision ofcourse, because at times when people are really considering intelligent spending choices, India is definitely the place to be. It is affordable, vibrant, unique and quite full of attractions for all kind of travellers – adventurer, leisure, historians or pure fun addicts.


There is also the other side of the movie to consider. It might happen that after watching the movie, people may falsely believe that India is just about slums and better not visit that area of the world.

So what do you think. Is Slumdog Millionaire success a free publicity for India? Will it help boost the travel market? Or is it just a movie worth watching but not enchanting enough for you to book the next flight to Mumbai?


Tell me what you think. All comments are welcome.
