Amazing film - incredibly beautiful story, acting and soundtrack.

An absolutely brilliantly made movie that gave me a view into the history and live in Indian slums as well as into Indian organised crime. All this is told intelligently through a candidate on the TV show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, Indian version. Just an excellent story that also teaches a bit about the hard life of people that are born without rights and opportunities.

Jamal Malik: Maybe it's written.

Slumdog Millionaire is an engaging story told with real creativity (maybe a little too much). It can be ugly, beautiful, funny, cruel, and oddly romantic within the same stretch of time. If I had to point to a weakness, it is that the film can feel engineered. The coincidences stack up, and the suffering can start to feel like a montage of horrors in service of a crowd pleasing arc. Still, it is hard to deny how effective it is.

I liked it at the second trial. The first time I watched it, I didn't like it.
