Movie Story
"Slumdog Millionaire" is the story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. 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...

posted by light smith on Jan 23, 2009I thought this movie was good all the way through. I liked the main characters and dislike salim at times. I think that it should definitely win some awards.

posted by Camille on Mar 10, 2009I think I will remember that film for a while, unlike so many. Although we loved it, there are scenes that are a bit very hard to see for children under 10 I would think. I am saying that because (1) I took my children to see it and (2) because I only heared wonderful critics about it, which I approve of, but we, parents, should know that there are things that are quite hard for children to see. I loved the way the story was told, the various sides of life in India that were presented, and the way it ended, that showed that it was "just" a story. A WONDERFUL FILM!

posted by Raj on Mar 21, 20095 Reasons to love Slumdog: -The Storyline: very original, inspiring, but also funny & also sad -The Music: AR Rahman is a genius. All the music fits in perfectly with it's scene -The Acting: It's very real and very well done -It makes you think: You cannot stop thinking about it when it ends -The way it was told: At first, the switching is confusing but after 5 minutes you get it and it's genius
posted by cj on Mar 22, 2009This was an incredible movie and I tell everyone to go see it. BUT...why would you take children under 10 to this movie? It is rated R for a reason. I am glad I wasn't sitting next to young children in the theater, because it would have ruined the experience for me.
