This picture is a reflection of the changing social class in India. It is an incredible tale of Destiny, and a Slumdog's chance at fame, love, and fulfillment. I loved the movie. | | | | Reply | | |

In the movie Danny Boyle showed us so much about our lives and how those happens. The two young actors who played the roles of Jamal and Latika keeps you on the edge of your seat as you wait to find out if even in the slums of Mumbai can love conquer all. | | | | Reply | | |

Slumdog Millionaire is worth watching. It keeps the viewer at the edge of their seat. You can learn something new every time you see it. The filming of the game show is the exactly same setup as the regular television program. | | | | Reply | | |
