Slumdog Millionaire



The movie was amazing!!! Seriously I will watch it for the second time on the Internet hehehe

But it was worth going to the theater for Slumdog Millionaire. The cheesy love story is simple, yet the storytelling through the game "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" is creative.

The story of Jamal Malik, a 18 years old teen of the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest success of his life on the Indian version of the "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" show watched by the whole nation. As the show ends for the night, the authorities arrested him suspected of cheating. How can a slum answer correctly all the questions and be on his way to win 10 millions rupees (Indian currency)? In order to prove his innocence, he unveils his difficult childhood on the road that he shared with his brother, Salim. He also met Latika, the girl he truly loved and lost. From each chapter of his life, he learned the answers of the seemingly impossible questions asked on the show. Although his life is about to change, Jamal has no desire to become rich. What is his drive to contest in "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire"? What would be more valuable than 10 million rupees? (Written by me)

I give 4.5/5 for the movie.



Actress: Freida Pinto
