The Chhattisgarh government Wednesday exempted India-themed film Slumdog Millionaire, which has won eight Oscar awards, from entertainment tax in the state for one year.


"The film Slumdog Millionaire has been made tax free with immediate effect in the state for a period of one year by the commercial taxes department on the instructions of Chief Minister Raman Singh," said an official statement issued here.


Impressed by the movie, Raman Singh has said Slumdog Millionaire effectively depicts the life of slum dwellers struggling to make ends meet and has also generated sensitiveness towards impoverished people in the society.
