This film is a must see.A Mumbai teen who grew up in the slums, becomes a contestant on the Indian version of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" He is arrested under suspicion of cheating, and while being interrogated, events from his life history are shown which explain why he knows the answers. It is sad in some parts and has some scene's that would nt be suitable for children to see. Though when i watch it,I always wanna see it again because i love the love scene in the movie,when the guy and girl get together. You must see it!

the plot was ok - nothing great. i dont know why there's such a massive hype about it. the acting wasn't that great either...

I was aware of all the hype surrounding it, so I decided to leave it a while so I could decide for myself. I really enjoyed this movie. I also found it really interesting as the story gave you a good insight into the life of a "slumdog" and the struggles families and children have to go through when growing up in this unfortunate environment.

This is a feel good movie, as you follow the life of a slumdog, from rags to riches (courtesy of "who wants to be a millionaire") - but the riches aren't from money, it's from the pursuing and finally rescuing his true love.

The acting was fantastic, and the movie fast paced. I never found myself bored watching this film. I'd recommend it.

Slumdog Millionaire is a wonderfully uplifting film with a great plot. It is based on the story of a poor 'slumdog' who manages to get on 'Who wants to be a millionaire'. The structure is really interesting, taking you back into the main character's history. It is very eye-opening, revealing a lot about poverty and social depravity in India's slums. As well as a rags-to-riches story with a twist, it is an endearing love story, with the two main characters battling against the odds to pursue their romantic goals.

Slumdog Millionaire is a lovely movie! Loved the story, the film never dragged.
Looked like a fairy story, but all those images in India were wonderful to watch. The story was cleverly presented, great action, music, sort of a Bollywood movie, with a European touch. Great acting, story, directing.

if you happen to live in a country where every now and then the prices of the gasoline increases everyday, you tend to believe that there is no hope. the movie Slumdog Millionaire strengthen one's faith.

"God is good" those are the last words of the brother before he died, a gangster yet he recognized the goodness of our Lord.

producers of the film must be applauded!

all good words are not enough for Slumdog Millionaire.... i love this movie and i can say only one word..........."ji ho"

I went to see Slumdog Millionaire not really knowing a great deal about it having seen it advertised on a lot of London buses as being the 'most uplifing film of the year'. The film was well paced with endearing characters which made you laugh. There were a couple of incidents that make you gasp and not in a nice way but that's what makes it avid viewing. I am glad that it has received all the recent acolades at the Oscars and Golden Globes (as well as other awards) as Danny Boyle should be congratulated for such a brilliant job. Considering this film nearly didn't make it to cinema release, it just goes to show what a mistake the film company bosses would have made had they not supported the underdog. Go see it now if you haven't already...

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. From the advertising I thought it was going to be some kind of rom com set in India. In reality this film enthralled me with moments of brilliant comedy followed by deep sadness. It played havoc with my emotions.

I'd thoroughly recommend this film to anyone. Slum dog millionaire is definitely in my top 10 films of all time.

If you get the chance go see slum dog millionaire. You won't be disappointed.

Being someone that enjoys reading and likes powerful stories, I can honestly say I think this is the most overrated film of all time. I sat in the cinema bored out of my head for well over 2 houres while I watched this boring, lifeless film full of subtitles. The film is basically about a life love story of a boy from the Mumbai slums that just happens to get on, oh yes, the Indian version of the TV show 'Who wants to be a Millionaire' just to find with love of his life. And you guessed it, wins the top prize of 20 million rupees.
for those reviews that say how powerful and striking the story is, I regulary see more powerful story lines on a weekly basis on TV soaps such as Eastenders.
I wouldn't waste my money again on this awful attempt at a film

An engaging film with an endearing main character and strong support. Very realistic (I presume) glimpse into the life of the slums of Bombay and an interesting glance into its transformation into modern Mumbai. Human interest (love story etc) also strong. There are moments of humour and the film is far from depressing and certainly doesn't drag. Lots of action and certainly worth seeing.

Slumdog Millionaire. Well crafted story line, extremely atmospheric with great directing, cinematography and music, humorous in parts but with a very serious undertone. A "must see" closing titles sequence! I thought this was a wonderful, colourful film with lots of hear and despite some of the horrors a general "feel good" mood to it. I would highly recommend it. There were a couple of points where I think I missed things or wasn't sure how to interpret them so was still left with a couple of questions in my mind.

Slumdog Millionaire tells the story of a young boy and his brother who are raised and live in the Slums of India.
Jamal ( Dev Patel) is a contestant on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.

Directed by Danny Boyle, Loveleen Tandan film watchers fly through the childhood haunts and learn of the challenges, heartbreaks and triumphs of Jamal as he and his brother fend for themselves in India.

This was a wonderful eye opening film with scenes which took your breath away and others which made you shy away from the screen.
