slumdog millionaire


I recently watched this British film and I got so inspired. This is a story of an orphan from Mumbai named Jamal Malik. He became a contestant of the famous tv show "Who wants to become a Millionaire". When the show breaks for the night, police arrested him of suspicions of cheating. Police were baffled how he knows so much. Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal Malik tells the story of his life in the slums with his brother, their adventures together, their encounters with a gang in Mumbai, their struggles together and his love for a girl named Latika. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show's questions. Each chapter of Jamal's story reveals where he learned the answers to the show's seemingly impossible quizzes. When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out. At the heart of its storytelling lies the question of how anyone comes to know the things they know about life and love.
This film has been nominated for three Oscars for the film, for best original score and two best original songs.
