Now on DVD - english speaking, but there are some subtitles
Young Jamal is winning the India version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" and is arrested under suspicion of cheating. Going through the video tape of the gameshow round by round Jamal is questioned as to how he knows the answers...and his flashbacks to his childhood tale of tragedy, strife and courage unfolds. From growing up in the slums to becoming a child beggar to becoming a contestant on the gameshow the film shows Jamal's tumultous relationship with is older brother and his ongoing quest to find his true love.
Brilliant. Just Brilliant. From the childhood actors to the fantastic editing to the foot-tapping soundtrack...everything about this film is incredible. As each chapter of this boy's life unfolds you are simultaneously disheartened by his tale and at the same time overwhelmed by his courage and stamina.
I cannot recommend this movie enough.
5 STARS
