With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show's questions. Intrigued by Jamal's story, the jaded Police Inspector begins to wonder what a young man with no apparent desire for riches is really doing on this game show? When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out. | | | Product Details: | | | Actors:

Fantasy and Squalor!Feb 17, 2010
Slumdog Millionaire is set in Mumbai (Bombay), India's slums focusing on a young boy Jamal Malik (Dev Patel)
He is a "slumdog", which is slang for street-kid.
The first scene opens up on Jamal who has somehow been selected to appear on India's Version of the TV show, "Who Wants to Be A Millionaire?" Jamal is not expected to win because of his disadvantaged roots, but he has had some unique experiences as a kid that enable him to guess the answers correctly. Many flashbacks are shown as he is interrogated by police on how he knows the correct answers to very difficult questions.
The story flows and moves at a good pace. The life experiences of terrible poverty and treatment of children in Mumbai are both sad and somewhat funny at times. The children know no other life. The movie is full of life experiences as we see Jamal growing up with constant challenges. He falls in love, comes close to death and overcomes many hardships. Everything ends tied together in a neat little package.

This film is so memorable and meaningful that I had to have it in my collection of notable motion pictures. I loved the acting, the music, the direction, the incorporation of Indian film techniques and the overall quality of the production. A truly important film for all time.
