Slumdog Millionaire (2009) Movie Details, News, Awards, Photos and Wallpapers :
Hollywood seems to have taken notice of Bollywood at last, with Slumdog Millionaire, an Indo-British movie directed by Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Shallow Grave, Millions, 28 Days Later, Sunshine), winning four Golden Globes awards (“Global ride on 4-Global Slumdog, Jan 13”) including best director, picture, screenplay and score. The Fox Searchlight Pictures/Warner Bros. Pictures release, the film is based on the novel “Q and A” by Indian author and diplomat Vikas Swarup.

Part exhilarating love story, part eye-catching journey into the underbelly of the so-called “maximum city” of Mumbai, part stirring tale of an Everyman’s triumph against a harsh, cynical world, Slumdog Millionaire is a visceral, action-packed Dickensian epic for the 21st century. At the heart of its exuberant storytelling lies the intriguing question of how anyone comes to know the things they know about life and love.

A.R. Rahman, who won his first Golden Globe for scoring the film’s music, thanked “a billion people of India” while accepting the award with great humility. It is interesting to see how Rahman has honed his skills over the years. With every film, be it Jodhaa Akbar or Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, he introduced the audience to hitherto unknown talents — singers and musicians with unique skills. Rahman has enthralled us with his tuneful compositions over the years, from Roja to Slumdog Millionaire. Music lovers are assured of a new experience in each of Rahman’s scores, which are refreshingly different from the typical Bollywood music Indians are familiar with. By winning the Golden Globe, Rahman has put India on the global map of music.

What sets Rahman apart from other Indian composers is his versatility as a singer and an instrumentalist. He is choosy about his projects and knows where he stands, having won the prize after being adjudged by renowned composers like Howard Shore and Danny Elfman.

Synopsis :

Today is the biggest day in Jamal Malik's life.

A penniless, eighteen year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, he's 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, suddenly, he is arrested on suspicion of cheating. After all, how could an uneducated street kid possibly know so much? Determined to get to the bottom of Jamal's story, the jaded Police Inspector spends the night probing Jamal's incredible past, from his riveting tales of the slums where he and his brother Salim survived by their wits to his hair-raising encounters with local gangs to his heartbreak over Latika, the unforgettable girl he loved and lost.

Each chapter of Jamal's increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the show's seemingly impossible quizzes. But one question remains a mystery: what is this young man with no apparent desire for riches really doing on the 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...The result is the sweeping, stylish, intoxicatingly human experience of Slumdog Millionaire.
