As 18-year-old Jamal Malik (Dev Patel) answers questions on the Indian version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire," flashbacks show how he got there. Part of a stable of young thieves after their mother dies, Jamal and his brother, Salim, survive on the streets of Mumbai. Salim finds the life of crime agreeable, but Jamal scrapes by with small jobs until landing a spot on the game show.
Reviews:
Danny Boyle's finest since Trainspotting. In fact, its the best British/Indian gameshow-based romance of the millennium.
The no-bull honesty of Slumdog Millionaire hits you hard. Its the real deal. No cheating.
Directed by Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Millions), this is a bold, big, and beautiful film.
