“Slumdog Millionaire” took home eight Oscars on Sunday night, a surprising achievement for a film once thought to be straight-to-DVD fodder. The colorful story, which mixes the gritty life of Mumbai’s poor with the shiny aspirations of the new India, features no stars recognizable to Western audiences, but it may have made one of its native country.

So, is it time for Bollywood — as India’s huge Mumbai-based film industry is called — to come to America?

“International cinema comes in cycles in the United States,” said Frank Lovece, a film critic with Film Journal International. “Now, it’s Bollywood’s time.”

But “Slumdog” is a far cry from the lavish movie musicals made by Bollywood, which releases nearly 1,000 films annually. And it’s not authentically Indian — it was directed by Briton Danny Boyle, and the leading actor, Dev Patel, was born and raised in England.
