Eighteen year old Jamal Malik (Dev Patel) is having an amazing answering streak on the Indian version of the television game show, "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire". He's only one correct question away from the big prize. However, some, including those associated with the game show, question how someone like Jamal, a self confessed non-genius who grew up in the slums of Mumbai, can be doing so well on the show when others who are brighter, more educated and wealthier than him have failed. Is Jamal cheating? Is it purely luck that they have asked him the questions to which he knows the answers? Seeing Jamal's life journey to this point ultimately answers these questions. His life journey includes being orphaned at an early age; growing up with an older brother, Salim, who was both his guardian/protector and antagonist; and having a relationship since childhood with another orphaned child, a girl named Latika (Freida Pinto). His motivation for being on the show also may provide some answers to his success. Perhaps it was all just meant to be. Oscars, Golden Globe & much more! Really? It is unbelievable that a movie like "Slumdog Millionaire", has been acclaimed highly by the critics & the rest of the whole world. But does it really deserves all the appreciation? Absolutely no. This is only a movie, meant for some fictional entertainment. This movie does not makes any sense at all. People & children from Slum of Mumbai are speaking in English, beggars are aware of who Benjamin Franklin is, "Who Wants to Be A Millionaire" having it's live telecast & hell lots of other silly stuffs! Mr. Boyle, a true Indian, would actually criticise your movie. And more over, in a scene, it has been said that Americans are great & the Indians are just opposite. Not a sensible movie in any way. But if you go for entertainment, then there's loads of stuffs. The performances are very refreshing, Dev Patel does with a fine execution, Freida Pinto with her cute & lovely looks, Anil Kapoor & Irrfan Khan with their as usual talent of serious performances & all the child artistes executing some fantastic performances, makes the movie special. Adding to it, A.R. Rehman's exciting soundtrack & score. Danny Boyle's direction is full of flaws with no sensible situations. One of the most highly over-rated movies ever to be made, though the movie has a great entertainment value. Only meant for entertainment, but does not deserves the critical appreciation. Mr. Boyle, you still need to know a lot about India.

Long before the movie had released in india i had read the reviews of foreign critics and was amazed to see so much appreciation for a movie with an indian story and starcast. I would like to call this movie a mix between a madhur bhandarkar film & a yash raj film coz its a mix of both reality and fantasy. The movie is a story Jamal malik who survives the slums & crime world n goes on to win d game show 'who wants to be a millionaire' n his childhood sweetheart too.. The performances were very good (esp d youngest kid as jamal). Some scenes are very graphic and aren't easily digested n forgotten (blinding of an orphan). Well about A.R Rehman - He is d best in dis world but he has produced better albums before( Roja, Dil se, Taal, n even d latest Delhi 6)d soundtracks for this movie r good too n slowly grow on u.
