Jai Ho!
Watched the movie.. yes The movie Slumdog Millionaire. What a wonderful style of story telling and narration.
In a nutshell a love-stricken boy spends his entire youth in search of her childhood sweetheart Latika (Frieda Pinto) who also happens to be her saviour.
The story goes over an 18 year-old young Jamal Malik (Dev Patel) orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life as he is just one question away from winning a whooping 20 million on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?". The most intriguing part is how this guy manages to answers all the questions by recalling experiences from his past and extracting answers from them. Though his stint with luck is frowned upon suspiciously by the host Prem Kumar (Anil Kapoor) and local police that how come a illiterate boy reached a place where even professors, doctors and engineers failed. Movie revolves around the story of Jamal as he grows up in his slum where he witnesses a Riot..loosing his mother, then along with his brother Salim he takes on adventures of life, then has this encounter with underworld dons loosing and searching his Lady love and in the interim working as a Call Center chai-wala. Each of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show's questions from where he extracts his answers to seemingly impossible quizzes.
Finally he reveals his coming on the show was in expectation that Latika might be watching this show and contact as she is untraceable after being kidnapped by his brothers goons.
All ‘N all a very gripping and catching story. Also A. R. Rehman’s music is the final do for the movie. Though my summary is weak but the movie is strong.
