Directed by Danny Boyle and written by
Simon Beaufoy, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE stars Dev Patel, Madhur
Mittal, Freida Pinto, Anil Kapoor and Irrfan Khan. The film
is based on the best selling novel Q&A by Vikas Swarup. The
film is scheduled to be released on November 28, 2008 and

Film Festival.
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…

At the point when I was
ready to leave the theater - the movie
turned. It was a hard movie to watch.
But then I couldn't stop thinking about
it for a week. I hope it wins the Oscar
for Best Picture. |
