Naanum Koteeswaran' – this is how 'Slumdog Millionaire' will be known in Tamil. According to reports, the Four Frames Recording Studio is brimming with energy as Silambarasan, S. P. Balasubramanium and Radha Ravi have been appointed to dub for the Tamil version of Danny Boyle's 'Slumdog Millionaire' that is creating sensational waves across the world.
Interestingly Silambarasan will dub for Jamal (played by Dev Patel) who rises from the scum of Mumbai's society to eventually become a millionaire, thanks to the game show 'Who wants to be a Millionaire' ('Koteeswaran' in Tamil).
Word has it that Silambarasan's voice fits the character perfectly and that Danny Boyle was impressed with his voice.
The voice for Anil Kapoor who played the host of the game show in the film, is given by one of the most reputed singers of South Indian Cinema – S. P. Balasubramanium.
Radha Ravi has been roped in to dub for Irfan Khan who has played the role of the police inspector in charge of investigating Jamal who is accused of cheating.
A. R. Rahman has been nominated in three categories for the Oscars (Best Original Score and for two songs 'Jai Ho' and 'O Saya'. This very fact has made the whole state of Tamilnadu excited with 'Slumdog Millionaire'.
The Tamil version is expected to release this month.

Radha Ravi dubs for Irrfan Khan ??!!!
Looks like it will be weird or funny!
Both for sure

I feel otherwise - unlike the fake accent/english that Irrfan had to use in the movie, Radharavi is going to speak like a local inspector and in one language - so it might come out rather well.

The Indian store guy marketed the SDM dvd to me (without much effort as ARR has already done the job for him and it was a store dvd with no label etc) . Started playing at home and was horrified by the swear word it started with. Hurriedly asked my son to check the rating at the web and he said R
Stopped playing and trashed the DVD at once (veettu policy'nga).
Hopefully the Thamizh version won't be using such obscene words and I can watch with family.

With some curse words of my own, are you out of your minds trying to watch SDM with your family? No matter in which language they translate it, it is a Restricted movie and not suitable for children in general and some adults with severe cultural senstivity syndrome. Originally Posted by app_engine

Well, then so be it...I can't watch it. It's very tough for me to go to theater and watch movies here and I don't watch DVDs at home that's not family worthy
So, will it be released in India with 'A' certificate? What's the rating of the original by Indian censors?

The Asian release (if not, for Singapore atleast) of SDM (Eng) has been delayed to 12 Feb from 5 Feb.

Slumdog: Dilemma of a new India
1 Mar 2009, 0151 hrs IST, Deepak Chopra
After its sweeping win at the Oscars last Sunday, Slumdog Millionaire seems like the movie everyone wants, and perhaps needs. It has all the ingredients of escapist fare from the Great Depression — a populist hero who overcomes all odds to get the girl and the money.
There’s an added element of self-congratulation for the West: by seeing this movie, you can see India without getting your hands dirty or offending your nose, and cheer it on. Cinderella didn’t walk through tenements and sectarian violence to reach her prince. But in this fairy tale, a concession must be made to modern realities. Dev Patel is symbolic of India here and now, fulfilling its wildest economic aspirations while being conscious of the darkest aspects of social decay and despair.
If we follow the metaphor to its logical conclusion, India will get the money and the girl by rising above its slums. Perhaps that’s why Slumdog has created an uneasy reaction in Mumbai and the rest of India.
Rising above isn’t the same as solving. Many well-born educated Indians have looked westward for a long time, which is easier than looking inward. They know more about the streets of London and New York than the teeming lanes of the ghettos in their own city. This is true, of course, among rich elites everywhere, not just in South Asia. Watching Dev cross the social line is triumphant, but it reminds you that there is a line. (Obama crossed the racial line in triumph, also, but notice how much heat his Attorney General, Eric Holder, took when he suggested in less than polite terms that America needs to be more honest and courageous about the whole problem of race.)
Like fairy tales, symbols can pacify deep anxieties. India dreams of being a millionaire, but it lives with the anxiety that it’s really a slumdog. Or, that the slumdogs will one day rise up against the millionaires. You can read the tea leaves any way you like. Another uncertainty attends the film.
Having been made on a shoestring budget, Slumdog managed to outgross any number of big-budget Hollywood films. Last week, it ranked fifth on the US box office while its nearest Oscar rival, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, was no longer in the top ten. Brad Pitt, being a megastar, has pulled his film to $122 million, compared to Slumdog’s $98 million, but is that really competitive? Ten movies on the scale of Slumdog can be made for the cost of one blockbuster that has yet to pay back its cost.
The whole movie industry is watching closely, and the developing world is watching back even more closely. After two decades of action flicks with move-your-lips scripts that were primitive enough to appeal to immature male psyches, here is Asia — via the UK — sending back something sophisticated, poignant, and universal. It’s like the ultimate retort to colonialism: the coolie and the wallah have more smarts than the sahib. Indians feel uneasy about that, too. Will the sahib turn his back and shut them out? Do South Asians have enough self-respect and stature in the world to at last forget that the sahib ever existed?
We may know the answers in the near future. Bollywood didn’t conceive Slumdog. It still purveys mindless entertainment, for the most part, interspersed with small independent films that challenge the West for thoughtfulness and freshness. It’s not for lack of talent that India didn’t produce Slumdog. But questions of vision and courage do arise. Past history and ingrained inhibitions make it hard for Indian artists in any field to be as frank and true to life as they should be. They have yet to seize freedom.
If Slumdog is a viable symbol, the future it points to is just being born. An out-of-the-way picture can dare to be universal, which means that India may dare to be universal one day. The dispossessed people of Asia are suddenly aware that they have a place at the table where previously only the rich dined. Both developments are encouraging. Meanwhile, one can marvel at the bald fact that a Bollywood-style anthem, ‘Jai Ho,’ won the Oscar for Best Song, while Bruce Springsteen wasn’t even nominated. The first Academy Awards of the recession turned out to be, as one headline proclaimed, the first outsourced Oscars of all time.

watched the tamil dvd rip...
simbhu voice suits dev, SPB suits anil kapoor
radharavi voice is distracting..
meaning distorted at times, effect lost many times
verdict: watch only if you are a simbhu/ SPB / radha ravi fan or if you cannot read english subs

I liked him in Indira. Arguably his most convincing villain performance. Else he used to come close to the hero and speak through his teeth and look at the ceiling when doing that.
He briefly tried his hand at being a hero in ventures like Chinna Muththu.

Yes. After Apoorva Sahothargal, there was some kinda boom time then. Kanda kanda padam vanthathu. We were addicted, watched at least one Tamizh film in big screen (then it was known as cineplex, the screens were smaller), and this film made it. So, should I blame Kamal for having me watch this disaster?
They also screened many dubbed films of Rajini's. I remember one with Jeethendra, when Rajini was still with side-vaakku. Walked out halfway. I did sit through Chinna Muthu, though. :P

Rajini did a lot of those films in the 80s that they show on Raj Digital Plus. To watch them in a theatre is the laudable grit of a fan.
In one of those movies Hrithik Roshan comes as a child artist and is - I am not exaggerating - stamped to death by Danny Denzongpa. What I would have given to have that remade in Tamil with Baby Shalini.

Bhagwaan Dada. I've watched parts of it in Hindi and Tamil. Yeah, Hrithik is stamped to death by Danny. This in a way helps Rajini when he goes face to face with Danny as he knows beforehand how dangerous the latter's boots are. Originally Posted by Prabhu Ram
