Slumdog Millionaire

From the fantastically grim images of Mumbai to the Bollywood style dancing at the end - this film is brilliant! It follows the life of Jamal Malik as he grows up in the slums of Bombay and is inter cut with the present day where he is a contestant on Millionaire (the Indian version) and is incredibly about to win the jackpot of 20 million rupees. Each question he faces is linked to a landmark event in his life. I urge you to go and see this film. In an age of remakes and sequels it is a breath of fresh air. Terrific.

Rating: 9/10
