Slumdog Millionaire is a 2008 drama film directed by Danny Boyle and written by Simon Beaufoy. It is based on the book Q and A written by Indian author and diplomat Vikas Swarup. Loveleen Tandan began as the film's casting director but was appointed by Boyle as a "co-director".
The film, shot and set in India, follows a young man from the slums of Mumbai who appears on a game show and exceeds people's expectations, raising the suspicions of the game show host and law enforcement.
Following screenings at the Telluride Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival, Slumdog Millionaire had a limited release on 12 November 2008 to critical acclaim and awards success
Jamal Malik, a former street child from Mumbai, is being interrogated by the police. He is a contestant on Kaun Banega Crorepati, the Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, and has made it to the final question but has been accused of cheating.

This is a gorgeous film. A true cinematic experience.
The storyline will captivate you from beginning to end.
It'll play with your emotions, grab on to your heart and not let go for two solid hours.
After you see it, you will not be able to stop thinking about it. It is so good.
The music of this movie is truly noteworthy. Not only does it move you but it blends in with the movie so well, it'll make you want to purchase the soundtrack.
The characters are well developed. The acting in this movie is superb.
The 3 Main Characters are played by 3 sets of people and they are all fantastic.
Forget about all of the movies on your Top 10.
Slumdog Millionaire will definately bump one out of your countdown.
I've watched all of the movies nominated for awards. These include Gran Torino, 7 Pounds, Changeling and The Wrestler.
All fail in comparison when compared to Slumdog Millionaire.
I can not wait for the Blu Ray release of this title, though it hasn't been announced yet. It is at the top of my list.
If you have the opportunity to see this movie, do not pass up the chance.
It is a true winner.
