The trailer was more racist than the movie

I had a big problem with the elevator scene in the TRAILER, because it was taken completely out of context. In the movie, it's explained the boys come from a poor village, so it would make sense they had never used an elevator before.
The trailer then flashed to scenes of Indian girls doing Bollywood dancing, and people doing Yoga, typical Indian sterotypes.
IMO just bad marketing.

Trailers should be ignored, as quite often they are not representative of the film.

had nothing to do with race. I have sponsored three ppl years ago from very remote areas and they did the same and Much more. Like turning lights on and off.
