The movie was amazing! Jamal Malik is an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India’s “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” However the show breaks for the night and when it does the police arrest him on suspicion of cheating.
They said to themselfs, how could it be possible for a street kid to know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he grew up with his brother. He tells them about their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost.
Each part of his story reveals how he knows the answer to the game show’s questions. So what is a young man with no apparent desire for riches really doing on this game show? When Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out.
