Plot: 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. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's "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. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show's questions. Each chapter of Jamal's increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the show's seemingly impossible quizzes. 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. At the heart of its storytelling lies the question of how anyone comes to know the things they know about life and love. Written by Fox Searchlight Pictures

The Slumdog Millionaire film is mainly about the romance of two slum lovers, but the director seems to portray the pictures of India as the main theme. As I am pretend myself as an Indian people I would not be able to agree this film, because the film mostly expresses the negative angles of India; the community ruled by mafia and polices have no power to deal with this people; the conflict between Hindu and Islam which had brought about death; the aggressiveness of slum boys who called the polices ‘dogs’ and said an irony ‘is this your dad’s train?’, these phrases would never come out from educated people. On the other hand, as I am a non Indian, this film represents a kind of documentary, display the scene that really happen. The film shows life of two boys who can survive without mother; one chose to be a mafia but one chose to work honesty and love sincerely. Moreover, the questions in the show were all about the famous parts of India, it shows that the director wants the audiences to perceive India on the beautiful angles. Importantly, the film reveals that even Jamal has is low educated but he could win the game, according to he keeps his eyes open and look through things that some people might miss; it does not depend on how smart you are but it does depend on how flexible you are. --By Luknam
This movie shows the bad side in India and it offenses Indian people. First, it strongly supports people’s thoughts that India is a third world and poor country. In the film, slum in Mumbai are very crowded and dirty. People have no rule and no education. Secondly, it represents that Indian polices violated the human rights of Jamal who was under 18 years old. They torture him to make him confess that how he has cheated on the questions. Thirdly, the director, Danny Boyle was American. He tries to let the audiences see that American people are nice and forgiveness. For example, in the scene that two Americans were stolen their stuffs in the car, then the Indian police came to hit Jamal because he thought that Jamal stole their stuffs but two Americans tried to protect him and give him money, and then let him go. Finally, the film tries to give a bad side of India but actually some part of India is not like that. India has both positive and negatives like other countries. --By May
I don’t think “Slumdog Millionaire” is offensive. I quite disagree with this statement “Such films should at least convey some message, some motivation to the public and more so the elite to come forward & improve their lot. Instead, the film makers, actors, theaters make cores on depiction of such gruesome sites, at times nauseating but totally meaningless.” in Indianexpress.com. Actually, every country has these kinds of problems; poverty, crime, corruption, but no one says it out loud. This movie is being discussed because it tells the truth of Indian society and that action againsts human perception. Most of us accept only good things and want to present that angle to other people, if there is any bad thing happens, they will shun it out. This movie is different from other movies directed by American directors in the sense that documentary is not the only type of film which can portray real life. Also this movie gave us an idea that everyone can change their life if they try to. Even if the director doesn’t directly convey the message how to solve the problems, but the public will be acknowledged and want to improve society. One thing that I was wondering during seeing this movie is why Latika always wear dress or use accessory with yellow color when she met Jamal. Then I googled and found that it’s a kind of symbol describing what she feels. Because Yellow is sunshine. It is a warm color that, like red, has conflicting symbolism. On the one hand it denotes happiness and joy but on the other hand yellow is the color of cowardice and deceit according to about.com. So I believe that Latika was very delightful to see Jamal but also afraid that she will get caught. --By Pla
This movie is a masterpiece. It's amazing strory line with great acting. A lot of scenes are the reflection of the changing of social classes in India. It is an incredible tale of Destiny; love, and fulfillment. The story is simplistic and engagement as the reality of poverty, humanity and love emerges. There is no space for innocence people in the world as we have seen in the film that they tried to make more money as beggars. A millionaire TV program was taking place with the main contestant who is Chi Wallar, knowing too much for his slum beggar. He is about to answer million dollars question when he was beaten to tell how he was cheating on the questions. Instead, he told his incredible life of how he knew the answers which all answers came from his life experiences. --By Tik
