But besides this, this is still a powerful and moving film which will entertain you all throughout it. Blaming plot contrivances on "fate" seemed lazy and the happy ending felt a bit hollow to me. Unfortunately, the film's strength falters near the end. They acted well and I was sold in the first 20 minutes. Especially the younger cast which is rather surprising considering that this is their first time acting for many of them. Even some of the more disturbing things that go on are detailed very well in the movie. The clever structure of the film uses the backstory to explain how he knew each of the answers to show what life is like for much of India's population. Every shot is amazing and not a single one seems worse than the last. It would be nearly impossible for another movie to win "Best Picture" over it. To say that this is expertly shot would be an understatement. After he's suspected of cheating, he's interrogated and he starts to explain how he knew all the answers. Jamal who wants to find his long lost love Latika, goes on a game show called "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire".
This is a somewhat predictable but lovely film which combines an honest look at poverty in India with one of the best love stories in recent years. At the heart of its storytelling lies the question of how anyone comes to know the things they know about life and love. But one question remains a mystery: what is this young man with no apparent desire for riches really doing on the 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. Each chapter of Jamal's increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the show's seemingly impossible quizzes. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show's questions. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's Kaun Banega Crorepati? (2000) (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. 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.
