You're not supposed to know you're watching a Bollywood movie until the dance numbers begin anyways.

  1. hey, i know that show says:

    In the poor kids defense..there IS actually a Indian version of “Who wants to be a millionaire”….

    • blah says:

      also, an episode of Indian ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire’ was on c4 straight after Slumdog

    • Jeff says:

      And it was on channel 4 the other night as part of their “Indian Winter” season.
      So no, not a fail in any sense.

      • TheyCallMeTomu says:

        What? Are you saying that a non-fail has been posted on failblog? My entire world has been shaken! What’s more, we have people who, by virtue of saying that the fail itself is a fail, are defended the perpetrator of the alleged fail, which means that there’s not a fail. People giving people the benefit of the doubt on the internet? What has this world turned into!?

        • TheyCallMeTomu says:

          Wow, this has been failbooking.com all along and not failblog. I feel strangely violated. Violated, and totally not paying attention to where I am on the internet. Perhaps next time I’ll go to WhiteHouse.com instead of WhiteHouse.org

  2. anon says:

    Also Channel 4 actually did show the indian version of it after Slumdog Millionaire as part of an Indian season they are doing

  3. El_paulo says:

    Also in their defense, Channel 4 did show an episode of the Indian version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire as part of the Indian Summer season on there

    http://www.channel4.com/programmes/who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire/episode-guide/series-1/episode-1

    Assuming they actually did see it. If they were watching Slumdog Millionaire then forget I said anything! :)

  4. gregg says:

    If you looked at the scheduling who wants to be a millionaire india was on after the film. So he was proably watching that. So this post be a fail!

  5. Zeus the Goose says:

    Yep, And it actualy was on Channel 4.
    Valentines day episode was shown after Slumdog.

    I still lold though.

  6. dw says:

    Channel 4 showed Indian Who Wants to be a Millionaire as part of their ‘Indian Winter’ season…

  7. Bob says:

    And when they showed Slumdog in the UK on Channel 4, they followed it with an actual episode of the Indian Who Wants To Be A Millionaire- probably not a fail

  8. david says:

    the indian version of who wants to be a millionaire was actually ON after slumdog millionaire, part of channel 4s Indian Winter thingy. It was a celebrity version of Indian Who Wants to be a millionaire! Fail on Failbook :D

  9. null says:

    I have never seen the movie, so I don’t know whether or not I’d make the same mistake. What I DO know is I’d hit the Guide/Info button instead of asking on Facebook!

    (Yeah, yeah, he might just have basic cable, I know..)

  10. Not so fail? says:

    They showed an episode of the Indian version on channel 4 after “Slumdog Millionaire” the other week, he might have been watching that.

  11. Paul says:

    And an episode of it *was* actually shown after the premiere of the film on Channel 4…
    Not a fail, sorry.

  12. Bobby says:

    It was actually on…

  13. Craig says:

    There was an episode aired after the slumdog millionaire movie on channel 4

  14. kiki says:

    The Indian version of WWTBAM was actually broadcast on Channel 4 after they showed “Slumdog Millionaire” last week, as part of their “Indian Winter” season.

  15. blehhh says:

    indian who wants to be a millionaire was on chanel 4, after slumdog millionaire
    so really thats not a fail.

  16. Eleanor says:

    Indian Who wants to be a millionaire WAS on channel 4 because of indian season. It wasnt slumdog, it was the actual show.

  17. harriet says:

    and plus Indian who wants to be a millionaire was on after slumdog last week on channel 4

  18. Nicky says:

    This is not a fail. There actually WAS an episode of the Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire on Channel 4 FOLLOWING Slumdog Millionaire. It’s the people in the comments who fail.

  19. Annie says:

    actually, channel 4 aired an episode of Indian WWTBAM *after* Slumdog Millionaire

  20. christie says:

    not such a massive fail. they’ve shown the indian version of the show, and slumdog millionaire recently as part of their indian winter season.

  21. Cameron says:

    You know, it actually was shwoing on channel four and it was the real one not slumdog millionaire, so nah fail at the people who said it was a fail.

  22. MrStuie says:

    Yeah, this is a fail-fail
    This post is from last week
    They played Slumdog Millionaire on channel four (*an English tv station), that part is true… But afterwards, they did air the Indian Who wants to be a millionaire and a couple more times that week
    I watched it… it sucked ass
    it was all a part of Channel four’s Indian winter special or something
    http://www.channel4.com/programmes/who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire
    So yeah… Sorry chaps :D

  23. Dina says:

    So… what, did they play the Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire after the movie? I’m confused.

  24. Anne Onymous says:

    And why anyone would be interested in either programme is beyond me.

  25. mr_moff says:

    “January 21, 2010 at 3:02 am
    Also Channel 4 actually did show the indian version of it after Slumdog Millionaire as part of an Indian season they are doing”

    Fail to anyone who posted after this comment.

    Still funny though

  27. Victoria J says:

    Not only did channel 4 show the Indian version of Who Wants to Be A Millionaire – it DID contain dance numbers. Even in a quiz the host and contestants got up and danced.

    I don’t think song and dance helps you identify anything beyond it being Indian. Silly films, serious films, quizes…. lets dance.

  28. Shazia says:

    If you’re not Desi (i.e. of South Asian nationality/descent) you’ll probably be very confused by all the dancing.

    But it’s cool, celebration of life and all that =]

  29. Gurdup says:

    ^^^ i agree with the above statement(s) ^^^

  30. snozle says:

    …. slumdog millionair isnt a bollywood film. It’s British.
