great script, something different

Rating: 9/10 (23 October 2009)

This was a great movie and I can see how it deserved the Oscar for best picture. It takes a simple concept and tells a tale of childhood love with a happy ending. The story is about an orphan that survived the slums of Mumbi and is now a contestant on Who wants to be a Millionaire. Jamal has made it to the final question. He is being questioned as to how he knew all the answers. Through this, we get to see how he grew up and the relationship between his brother and the girl he fell in love with, Latika. Basically, everything he's done has been to find Latika again.
The story was very entertaining and it was just a new idea. I really enjoyed it.
FINAL VERDICT: Highly recommend this one.
