Story
Line:
Slumdog Millionaire is 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. 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.
