Absolute Best Film of the Year! The one you can't miss!

Rating: 10/10 (25 December 2008)

Truthfully, I didn't want to spend a couple of hours in a movie theater on Christmas Day but my sister wanted to see this film. It was a remarkable experience because it far exceeded my expectations. The casting was perfect with three actors playing the main role of Jamal Malik who goes from the slums of India to possibly becoming the first person to win the grand prize in Who Wants to Be A Millionaire? In the beginning, he is suspected to have been caught cheating and is interrogated for the night quite harshly but it's nothing compared to his life. He works as a gopher for a telemarketing office in Mumbai which is India's Hollywood. There is a reason for everything and the film is well-thought out and executed to perfection. The young actor who plays Jamal is brilliant in the role. Everybody in the film really delivers as well as the thousands of extras. Of course, there are difficult scenes to watch but I won't go there and spoil it for those who haven't seen it. I can see why this film is a front-runner for the Oscars. It has everything going for it including a great cast, a great script, and directed brilliantly with the perfect edited portions.
