Slumdog Millionaire (SDM) tells the life (and love) story of an Indian teen through his appearance on the Indian version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire? The questions he faces all provide a window into short and long vignettes about his life.
The best part of SDM is that it is not void of hope. Great story doesn't just leave you bummed out. It paints a sobering picture of India and its amazing discrepancy between the rich and poor, the powerful and the weak. One interesting aspect of the story is the transformation of the police officers who interrogate the main character. They start out as thugs and eventually one of them becomes more humane.
I liked it.
