Movie Review of the film “Slumdog Millionaire”.Slumdog Millionaire is a 2008 British drama film directed by Danny Boyle.

The film begins to Juhu slum 18 year old boy Jamal Malik is contestant on the Indian version of Kaun Banega Crorepati. 

it is all about question and answers, than win grand prize. At that time he is detained and tortured by the police, who suspect him to cheating because of the impossibility of a simple “Slumdog” person as never ever little education knowing all the answers. as story goes on. Jamal recount and memories though flashbacks the incidents in his life which provided him with each question.

We see in the film, Jamal's flashbacks begin with his managing, at age five, to obtain the autograph of Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan, which his brother then sells, followed immediately by the death of his mother during the Bombay Riots. As they flee the riot, they meet Latika, another child from their slum. Salim is reluctant to take her in, but Jamal suggests that she could be the third musketeer whose name they do not know. The three are found by Maman a gangster who tricks and then trains street children into becoming beggars. When Salim discovers Maman is blinding the children in order to make them more effective beggars, he flees with Jamal and Latika to a departing train. Latika fails to board the train and she is recaptured by Maman. Over the next few years Salim and Jamal make a living travelling on top of trains, selling goods, picking pockets, working as dish washers, and pretending to be tour guides at the Taj Mahal, where they steal people's shoes. At Jamal's insistence, they return to Mumbai to find Latika, discovering that she has been raised by Maman to become a prostitute and that as a virgin. she is expected to fetch a high price. 

The brothers rescue her, and Salim kills Maman with a gun. Salim then manages to get a job with Javed Maman's rival crime lord. Back at their room, Salim orders Jamal to leave him and Latika alone. When Jamal refuses, Salim draws a gun on him, and Latika persuades him to go away to protect him.

We see in the film, a tea-boy in an Indian call centre. Jamal searches the centre's database for Salim and Latika. He fails in finding Latika but succeeds in finding Salim, who is now a high-ranking lieutenant in Javed's organization, and they reunite. Jamal attacks Salim who then pleads for forgiveness. We see how directed create and lets him stay in his luxurious apartment. 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 VT 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 Mumbai. Jamal becomes a contestant on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? knowing that she watches the show regularly. Much to the consternation of Prem Kumar, the show's host, he becomes a wonder across India. Jamal uses the 50/50 lifeline on the penultimate question and during the following break, whilst in the men's room, Kumar feeds Jamal with the answer, but Jamal chooses the other answer and the correct answer.

In movies goes that believing Jamal is cheating, the police become involved. After an initial beating up, the police inspector listens to Jamal's explanation of how he reached each answer. Here we see to Indian police system. We know that finding all of them "bizarrely plausible". He allows him to return to the show. At Javed's safehouse, Latika sees Jamal on the news and 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 is reluctant out of fear of Javed, but agrees and escapes. Salim fills a bathtub with money and sits in it, waiting for Javed and his men when they realize he let Latika go. We see that Jamal a life lfe learner and how he answer all question and at end his life becomes change. Jamal's final question is, by coincidence, the name of the third musketeer in “The Three Musketeers” which he never learned. Jamal uses his Phone-A-Friend lifeline to call Salim's cell, as it is the only phone number he knows. 

 

Latika answers the phone, 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. Javed hears Latika on the show and realizes that Salim has betrayed him. He and his men break down the bathroom door but Salim kills Javed before he is shot, gasping, "God is great." Jamal and Latika meet on the platform at the railway station. It is end to be happy and satisfaction of Indian movies end.

 

So we narrative of this film and how Jamal as center in the film. Jamal as life learner. Here we found that as poor boy becomes richer it may be questioning him. It is Indian dream of many youngsters as becomes richer. Jamal life was rags to richer. And it may be famous and real Indian ideas portrayed in this film. at last we can say that it is Indian concept ideal film and society reality of India in the film
