SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE (Danny Boyle, 2008)

Eighteen-year-old Jamal Malik is a contestant on the Indian version of Who Wants to

Be a Millionaire?, one question away from the grand prize. However, because Jamal is a
former street child from the Juhu slums, the police suspect him of cheating and arrest him the
night before the Rs. 20,000,000 question. As the police brutally interrogate him, Jamal
recounts, through flashbacks, the incidents in his life which provided him with each answer.
These flashbacks tell the story of Jamal, his brother Salim, and Latika.

The story of Jamal's life includes trying so hard to obtain the autograph of Bollywood
star Amitabh Bachchan by jumping in an outhouse hole and the death of his mother during the
Bombay Riots at age five. After their mother's death, Salim and Jamal meet Latika, another
street child from their slum. Salim is reluctant to take her in, but Jamal suggests that she could
be the "third musketeer", a character from the Alexandre Dumas novel whose name they do not
know. The three are found by Maman, a gangster who tricks street children into begging
money for him. When Jamal, Salim, and Latika learn Maman is blinding children in order to
make them more profitable singing beggars, they flee by jumping onto a departing train. Latika
catches up and takes Salim's hand, but Salim purposely lets go, and she is recaptured by the
gangsters.

Salim and Jamal make a living travelling on top of trains, selling goods, picking
pockets, working as dishwashers, and pretending to be tour guides at the Taj Malah. Jamal
eventually insists that they return to Mumbai to find Latika. They discover that she has been
raised by Maman to become a prostitute whose virginity is expected to fetch a high price. The
brothers rescue her, and Salim draws a gun and kills Maman. After returning to their hotel
room, Salim orders Jamal to leave him and Latika alone. The shocked and furious Jamal attacks
Salim, who draws his gun and threatens to kill his brother. Latika intervenes and tells Jamal to
leave. Salim gets a job with Javed, Maman's rival crime lord.

Years later, while working as a tea server at an Indian call centre, Jamal searches the
centre's database for Salim and Latika. He succeeds in finding Salim, now a high-ranking
lieutenant in Javed's organisation. When the brothers meet, Salim is regretful for his past
actions and only pleads for forgiveness when Jamal violently attacks him. Jamal then bluffs his
way into Javed's residence and reunites with Latika. While Jamal professes his love for her,
Latika asks him to forget about her. Jamal promises to wait for her every day at 5 o'clock at the
CST station. Latika attempts to rendezvous with him, but she is recaptured by Javed's men, led
by Salim. Jamal loses contact with Latika when Javed moves to another house, outside of
Mumbai.

Jamal tries out for the popular game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, because he
knows Latika watches it regularly. He makes it to the final question despite the hostile attitude
of the show's host, Prem Kumar (Anil Kapoor), and becomes a wonder across India. However,
Kumar and the police find it impossible that a simple "slumdog" could possibly know the
answers to so many obscure questions and have him arrested, bringing the story back to the
present.

The police inspector calls Jamal's explanation "bizarrely plausible" and allows him to
return to the show. At Javed's safehouse, Latika watches the news coverage of Jamal's
miraculous run on the show. Salim, in an effort to make amends for his past behaviour, gives
Latika his mobile phone and car keys, and asks her to forgive him and to go to Jamal. Latika,
though initially reluctant out of fear of Javed, agrees and escapes. Salim fills a bathtub full of
money and sits in it, waiting for the death he knows will come when Javed discovers what he
has done.
 Jamal's final question is the name of the third musketeer in The Three Musketeers, a
fact he never learned. Jamal uses his "Phone-A-Friend" lifeline to call Salim's cell. Latika
succeeds in answering the phone in time, and, while she does not know the answer, tells Jamal
that she is safe. Relieved, Jamal randomly picks "Aramis", the right answer, and wins the grand
prize.

Simultaneously, Javed discovers that Salim has helped Latika escape. He and his men
break down the bathroom door, and Salim kills Javed, followed by Salim's death at the hand of
Javed's men. With his dying breath, Salim gasps that God is great. Later that night, Jamal and
Latika meet at the railway station and kiss. The movie ends with a dance scene on the platform.
