Jamal Mali, a slumdog boy, lived in India and went to "Who Wants to Be a Millionarie?" a TV show. He won the contest but the police thought he use cheats and keep up and torture him. Police ask for the answers and he remembers childhood. He lived in Mumbai and he had a big brother. Their mother died in a confrontation between religion fanatics. They scape and lost his house and meets Latika. Maman, a gangster, lied and took them and use them to be beggars. Salim discover Maman blinding the children and scapes with Jamal and Latika. Salim purposely lets go Latika ans scape with Jamal in the train. Jamal and Salim traveled on top of trains. Few years later Jamal returns to Mumbai and look Latika. They brother kill Maman and rescue her. Salim and Latika separate with Jamal. Some years later, Salim finds work and goes in search of Latika. But instead of meeting Latika he meets Salim, thankfully Salim knows wheres Latika. Jamal finds Latika but she is the wife of the boss of Salim. Later, Jamal started the show and everybody watches the TV show to see Jamal answers for the final question.
My favourite character is Jamal, he is intelligent, persuasive, friendly, strong (emotionaly), cares about people he loves. He never lies. He survived his childhood.
I like the film, because it is interesting, and emotional, but i didn't finish it.
