Danny Boyle (Sunshine) directed this wildly energetic, Dickensian drama about the desultory life and times of an Indian boy whose bleak, formative experiences lead to an appearance on his country's version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" Jamal (played as a young man by Dev Patel) and his brother are orphaned as children, raising themselves in various slums and crime-ridden neighorhoods and falling in, for a while, with a monstrous gang exploiting children as beggars and prostitutes. Driven by his love for Latika (Freida Pinto), Jamal, while a teen, later goes on a journey to rescue her from the gang's clutches, only to lose her again to another oppressive fate as the lover of a notorious gangster. Running parallel with this dark yet irresistible adventure, told in flashback vignettes, is the almost inexplicable sight of Jamal winning every challenge on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?," a strong showing that leads to a vicious police interrogation. As Jamal explains how he knows the answer to every question on the show as the result of harsh events in his knockabout life, the chaos of his existence gains shape, perspective and soulfulness. The film's violence is offset by a mesmerizing exotica shot and edited with a great whoosh of vitality. Boyle successfully sells the story's most unlikely elements with nods to literary and cinematic conventions that touch an audience's heart more than its head. --Tom KeoghStills from Slumdog Millionaire (Click for larger image) ... less

Special Features: All Region DVD, Digitally Mastered from the original film, English Language Track, Interactive Menus for Easy Access, 5.1 Dolby Digital, Anomorphic Widescreen format, Enhanced for 16:9 TV's. Synopsis: Jamal Malik, an 18 year old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, 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 Want to Be A Millionaire? But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating: how could a ' Slumdog' know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life on the streets - picaresque tales of the Juhu slum where he and his brother salim grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of latika, the girl he loved and lost. In each episode of his story lies the key to the answer to one of the game show's questions. Intrigued by Jamal's story, the jaded Police Inspector begins to wonder what a young man with no apparent desire for riches is really doing on this 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.

FILM ONLY REVIEW
Adapted from Vikas Swarup?s novel Q & A, Slumdog Millionaire tells the story of 18-year-old Jamal, a call-centre operator, entering India?s version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. By self-admission he doesn?t know any of the answers to the questions, but as each one is asked, his mind runs through his tortured childhood and he manages to filter out various facts and figures he?d picked up over the years and his almost...

Jai Ho! Slumdog Millionaire
Advantages: Great acting and story
Disadvantages: None
...Mahesh Khedekar (Jamal) and Rubina Ali (Latika). These children were picked from the real slums in Mumbai to star in the film. I think they all did a brilliant job and were much better than a lot of professional child actors that I have seen in films. They deserved the fame and recognition they got. I hope that it is true that the producers of the film are helping to provide for them throughout their young lives.
There is some good music in the film including the theme song Jai Ho that you have probably heard after the pussycat dolls brought out a version.
Overall I thought Slumdog Millionaire was a fantastic film. It has a great story that will keep you interested throughout. The acting is well done by all the actors, making it a worthwhile film to watch.

Slumdog Millionaire: The Chai Wallah Oscar
Advantages: Best Picture, touching, exciting
Disadvantages: Not a feelgood film as many believe
...The Ovi readers that eagerly followed my live update on Oscar Night may wonder why it has taken me so long to present my review of Slumdog Millionaire, the film that walked away with eight statuettes at the 81st Academy Awards, including the coveted Best Picture. I have no excuse for the review's tardiness, especially after I caught a preview of the film a few days later at Helsinki's main multiplex at 6:15AM, yes I did write AM, and thoroughly adored the experience ? the film, not the waking up obscenely early.
Honesty is the best policy when writing reviews, so it would be remiss of me to claim any high expectations of Slumdog Millionaire. The fact that the film had won Best Picture has meant very little ever since Chicago diluted the quality usually associated with these winners and I was worried that the film would be a Western...
