The document summarizes scenes from the film "Slumdog Millionaire" that depict various urban issues faced by residents of the Dharavi slum in Mumbai. Overcrowding, lack of sanitation, unsafe living and working conditions, and poverty are some of the major problems highlighted. Children play near open sewage pits and people live in extremely cramped and unsanitary conditions. Many residents make a living through hazardous waste sorting or dangerous jobs like working on unfinished buildings without safety equipment. Transportation is also a major issue as seen in a crowded train station and traffic jam scene. In general, the film illustrates the difficult living conditions and urban problems that slum residents must endure on a daily basis.
