Who wants to be a millionaire?
The story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of
Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With
the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a
staggering 20 million rupees on India's "Who Wants To Be A
Millionaire?" But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest
him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much?
Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in
the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures
together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of
Latika, the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals
the key to the answer to one of the game show's questions. Intrigued
by Jamal's story, the jaded Police Inspector begins to wonder what a
young man with no apparent desire for riches is really doing on this
game show? When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the
final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to
find out...
