About this movie

Directed by Danny Boyle, this Academy Award winning film tells the story of Jamal Malik (Dev Patel), a young orphan from the slums of Mumbai who is one question away from the "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" jackpot. Arrested on suspicion of cheating and desperate to prove his innocence, he tells the incredible story of his life: the chaos of the streets he and his brother grew up in; their wild adventures on the road and of vicious run-ins with local gangs; and Lakita (Freida Pinto), the girl he loved and lost. But what is a kid with no interest in money doing on the show and how is it he knows all the answers? Based on the best-selling book QandA by Vikas Swarup and written by Simon Beaufoy (The Full Monty), Slumdog Millionaire is undoubtedly the feel good hit of the year. 2008 Celador Films.

Ratings and reviews

Perhaps my expectations were too high after all the awards but I found this film a bit over-rated. It's a brilliant and original story but the way it was told lacked exposition on certain important issues and this diminished the power of the film.

I would not think I would enjoy this movie but I highly recommend it. Great screenplay and story line. You will find yourself laughing and on the edge of your seat at the same time. Truly enjoyable movie, I could compare this to Forrest Gump.

I hateindians they are dirty rude , its like rats in human form..they stink aswell
