Slumdog Millionaire
CrimeDramaRomance120 min
After a night on India’s “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?”, 18-year-old Jamal Malik is in police custody, accused of cheating his way to the final question. Dev Patel is Jamal, a Mumbai orphan whose interrogation opens into the episodes of his life: surviving the city’s slums with his brother Salim, crossing paths with gangs, and holding on to Freida Pinto’s Latika. Each answer on the quiz show points back to a memory, as Danny Boyle and co-director Loveleen Tandan move between the game-show set and Jamal’s years on the street.
