Slumdog Millionaire3 And A Half Out Of 5Slumdog Millionaire is a plot driven dramatic feature about an aspiring kid from slum who seeks his destiny through his good-will nature "with all odds". Boyle's world in here is rugged and darker than it anticipated to be but fortunately since it ends on a higher ideal and a mellow note than any of the projected ones in the feature, it lands safe and sound.The jump-starter of the feature is of course its smart concept but often the ingenious idea fades away among multiple characters with their individual sub-plots but in here with the help an amazing editing by Dickens the spine of the feature never turns jelly. It is beautifully shot with amazing camera work and mesmerizing visuals and on the other hand it also consists some sinister ideology; especially in its first half, that is utterly inedible to encounter. It is rich on technical aspects like stunning cinematography, up beating background score and smarter costume design than one usually gets (the lead actress is often wearing a shade of yellow; a slick move). The adapted screenplay is gripping, bold and filled with electrifying sequences that shakes the audience and demands attention throughout the course of it; the run-time flows like a high current. At the end of it, it always will be Boyle's imaginative world that is brimmed with almost too much colors and yet respects each aspect of it to give enough space and range to factor in effectively. The performance is appreciative if not stellar, especially by Patel, Khan, Kapoor and Pinto. Cunning and finely detailed script, excellent execution and plethora of emotions that the thrilling ride offers are the high points of the feature. Slumdog Millionaire is actually a dulcet tone that never hurts where the makers are playing it safe but with bigger guns than ever.

The amazing hard work that directors Danny Boyle and Loveleen Tandan had put into this movie was so appreciated that it won 8 oscars, in 2008. From the actors they had chosen to the film scenery,everything was exactly what people would expect from a Oscar winning film. Jamal Malik is a poor indian boy, trying to survive a life in the second largest slum of the world, in Mumbai (former Bombay). The plot shows Jamal and his brother growing up, living some heartbreaking moments after their mother's death, up until present, when an adult version of Jamal participates in a TV show, "How to be a millionaire" ,so that the love of his life, Latika would see him. As I said earlier, the acting is great, with actors like Dev Patel and Anil Kapoor. The backround track "Jai Ho" ties everything up in a great movie. And if you were wondering, Yes it hits you right in the feels, making you cry like a baby, with some really tough scenes bu making you as happy as you could be at the end.I really recommend you to watch it, no regrets + you would have another great film to share with your friends

"Slumdog Millionaire" the movie directed by Danny Boyle is a masterpiece, a romantic drama that won 8 oscars in 2008, the year of its release.

After the lose of their mother, the two boys are forced to live on the streets. After many years, Jamal, the protagonist goes to a show "Who wants to be a millionaire" to find the best love of his life, Letika. The actors are great, Dev Patel's acting is out of this world. This combined with the background music transform this movie into a masterpiece. This film make you sad and happy at the same time. I highly recommend is to the drama addicted people, you will love it.

Slumdog Millionaire is a story about a poor child from Mumbai, who became rich. He was born in this poor city and there he met his first love.This child had only his brother with him, until he betrayed him.This child became rich because he went to an intelligence show and the questions perfectly matched to his experiences from the past. I recognized some actors, like Dev Patel or Freida Pinto because i have seen some of their movies, like "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" or "Chappie".My favourite character is Jamal Malik, because he never gave up. In my opinion, the movie is very good because it represents the real lifestyle of a big number of humans.Also, it represents the fact that nowadays, money can buy everything, except happiness.But, i don't really think that this movie deserves 8 Oscars, i don't know exactly the reason but that's what i think. So if you like this type of movies, you should watch it soon, because it's a really good one.
