Jamal Malik is an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's version of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" When the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating. Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up. He describes their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost. Every chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show's questions. Jamal's increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the show's seemingly impossible questions. When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers watch to find out if he can answer the question of how anyone comes to know the things they know about life and love.

engrossing submitted by adimarzo on July 5, 2011, 10:28am The characters and story in "Slumdog Millionaire" are engrossing and captivating. The way Jamal's story is told is unique. While many of the scenes are hard to watch, the end result is a movie that is heart-warming. And the dance scene during the credits is not to be missed!

Slumdog Millionaire submitted by SBNB on July 5, 2014, 2:03pm It's a good movie, better than I expected it to be.

Excellent film! submitted by mickplu on August 14, 2016, 8:42pm Similar to Forrest Gump but with an Indian twist, it gets you thinking.

Fun and Big submitted by Meginator on August 8, 2017, 8:41am Slumdog Millionaire is a great film, and it's nice that something so uplifting got as much award recognition as it did. The story is fantastic and the characters are incredibly written and portrayed, to say nothing of the outstanding soundtrack. With good visuals and a captivating vision of modern India that most Westerners don't usually see or think about, this film is a winner all around.

Movie review submitted by crp on August 11, 2019, 11:03pm Saw this is theatres- wonderful story. Sad at times, just heart breaking sometimes. Score is but AR Rahman- can’t beat it

A great movie that is difficult to watch submitted by tbbrown76 on July 17, 2020, 8:49pm It's dirty, sad, vile disgusting and mean at times. But, it has a decent ending.
Highly recommended
