Slumdog Millionaire (貧民百萬富翁) is a 2008 film. The movie stars Dev Patel and Freida Pinto. The movie was a box office sensational around the globe in 2008 and 2009.
Netflix summary:
After coming within one question of winning it all on the Indian version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?," 18-year-old Mumbai "slumdog" Jamal Malik (Dev Patel) is arrested on suspicion that he cheated his way to the top. While in custody, he regales a jaded inspector (Irfan Khan) with remarkable tales of his life on the streets and the story of the woman (Freida Pinto) he loved and lost.
The movie was a major letdown due to all the hype surrounding it. With so many facebook status updates stating this was an amazing film. I went in with high expectations and was ultimately letdown. Was the movie over hyped? Heck yes! If you don't give into the hype, would you enjoy the film? Probably.
The movie is presented in flashbacks and the storyline was actually quite gloomy. The lead characters never developed to the point that I cared for them to come out ahead. If anything, I was just waiting to see what happens.
