I never did like Who Wants to be a Millionaire

Rating: 1/10 (27 February 2014)

Some kid wins Who Wants to be a Millionaire in India and is promptly arrested for somehow swindling the programme, however, under scrutiny, he reveals how deeply affecting moments in his life caused him to recall the answer to each question.
A simple premise... so simple, in fact, that once you know it, the film seems to be pointlessly playing by the numbers.
I heard a lot of great things about this film, but to be honest, couldn't get into it and turned over after 20 minutes (hence the lowest score rating available). The production values were excellent - as one would imagine - but the story just failed to pull me in.
If you like predictable dramas spoken in a non-English language to boost the artistic value of a film clearly aimed at winning awards, then let the fact that it did achieve critical acclaim sucker you into wasting time better spent doing something else... like watching a film that's actually good.
