His devotion an ever fixed mark, which looks on hard times and is never shaken, she’s the reason he goes on WWTBAM in the first place – an idealised plot function rather than a character in her own right. Through it all, he steadfastly loves fellow slum-girl Lakita (Pinto). Intercut with his on-screen Q and A, Jamal’s life story unfolds energetically, from his chai-running day job to his brother’s wayward fortune.
Drums pounding in our ears, the brothers run away from gangsters and the police, entangled in the child-exploiting underworld of India – this is the stuff that isn’t in the guide book. They become street kids, slum dogs, pulling any stunt to grab a fistful of rupees. When they are just boys, Jamal and his older brother, Salim (Mittal), are orphaned when their mother is killed in a horrific riot. How does someone like him know the answers?ĭanny Boyle’s Oscar-winning movie tells us, rewinding from the recorded show back to Jamal’s childhood and hitting the play button hard. One away from the jackpot, he is arrested for fraud and savagely interrogated. But it’s this impoverished Indian answering the infamous fifteen questions. Everyone, that is, except for Jamal (Patel).
Who wants to be a millionaire? Pretty much everyone in the slums of Mumbai, apparently.
