Slumdog Millionaire

Slumdog Millionaire, This movie was one of the best movies that I have seen so far in this year. Using 3 children under the age of 7 to tell the early part of the story plot. It begins with Jamal Malik an 18-year-old call-centre tea boy making his way on to the Indian version of “Who Wants To Be a Millionaire” Here, though uneducated, and patronized by the show's host Prem Kumar (Anil Kapoor) , he gets through round after round of questions to stand on the brink of winning the top prize.
While the squeeze is put on Jamal we are inundated with flashbacks to his childhood to see how he came to his current predicament. As a child Jamal grew up with his brother Salim and mother in the slums of India and the boys underwent harsh treatment largely sometimes because of his faith. Unspeakable horrors confront both boys and those images and pent-up fears have a clear impact on their teen years and adult lives.

AR Rahman did a very job as far as this movie is concern . Being one of India's best known composers, he has just won a Golden Globe nomination for his score in this movie. Really enjoyed watching the climax. It’s really touched my heart. Would like to have more quality movies like this in KollyWood.
