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.

Slumdog Millionaire submitted by SBNB on July 5, 2014, 1:56pm This movie was a lot better than I expected it to be. Give it a shot.

You won't want to see this movie twice submitted by tbbrown76 on July 17, 2020, 8:51pm But you have to see it once. Life in slum India is brought into,sharp focus with a satisfying ending. Highly recommended.
