Rating: 10/10 (10 January 2009)

Anwar Kharral (Dev Patel), the 'Dull Muslim' from the famous Brit series SKINS, now he's a Slumdog of Mumbai who wants to be a Millionaire! Dev Patel plays Jamal Malik, a 18 year old boy who's in the most famous quiz show Who Wants To Ba A Millionaire. He isn't on the show for money, he's just there to get back his childhood love, hopin' she's watchin' the show. Cause he don't have any clue how to get her nor he has no idea what kinda questions he'll be asked on the show! Eventually he did answer all the questions with the help of his "growin' up experiences in the slum". Pretty neat! The story is written by Vikas Swarup. The book is called "Q and A". His debut novel, Q and A, tells the story of how a penniless waiter in Mumbai becomes the biggest quiz show winner in history. Critically acclaimed in India and abroad, this international bestseller has been translated into 36 languages. Vikas Swarup is an Indian diplomat who has served in Turkey, the United States, Ethiopia and Great Britain. He is presently posted in Pretoria as India's Deputy High Commissioner to South Africa. I always look forward to see a Danny Boyle movie & he never let me down. From his 1995 Shallow Grave, or my all time favourite 1996 Trainspotting, even 1997 A Life Less Ordinary, 2000's The Beach, his 2002's 28 Days Later was a hugh hit, 2004's Millions gave me goosebumps or even 2007's SiFi Sunshine, I wait for a Danny Boyle movie. But Danny never won an Oscar, Golden Globe or BAFTA and I don't get 'why'?! Well the Slumdog Millionaire has some 'obvious twist' but Danny make it look so smart... I hope he win all the goddamn awards this year & I think A R Rahman will surely win this years Film or Score Music Awards & he did that fine & dandy in Slumdog Millionaire!
