Winner 8 Academy Awards(R) including Best Picture, Best
Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay
Today is the biggest day in Jamal Malik's life.
A penniless, eighteen-year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai,
he's one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees
on India's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? But when the show breaks
for the night, suddenly, he is arrested on suspicion of cheating.
After all, how could an uneducated street kid possibly know so
much? Determined to get to the bottom of Jamal's story, the jaded
Police Inspector spends the night probing Jamal's incredible past,
from his riveting tales of the slums where he and his brother,
Salim, survived by their wits to his hair-raising encounters with
local gangs to his heartbreak over Latika, the unforgettable girl
he loved and lost.
Each chapter of Jamal's increasingly layered story reveals where
he learned the answers to the show's seemingly impossible quizzes.
But one question remains a mystery: What is this young man with no
apparent desire for riches really doing on the game show?
When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final
question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find
out....
