After almost half and year I'am back. So, I decided to put something special. More specifically, I'll tell you about Slumdog Millionaire. This is a british film (an adaptation of the novel Q & A (2005) by Indian author and diplomat Vikas Swarup), which was set and filmed in India. Directed by Danny Boyle, written by Simon Beaufoy and co-directed by Loveleen Tandan, is one of the most succesful films ever. It was nominated for 10 Academy Awards in 2009 and won eight, the most for any film of 2008, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay. It also won seven BAFTA Awards (including Best Film), five Critics' Choice Awards, and four Golden Globes. We also need to know that music is by A. R. Rahman. The running-time is 120 minutes and the budget was $15 million. Now the plot of the movie with few words:
Eighteen-year-old Jamal Malik, a former street child from the Juhu slum, is a contestant on the Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, and is one question away from the grand prize. However, before the Rs. 20,000,000 question, he is detained and interrogated by the police, who suspect him of cheating because of the unlikelihood that a simple "slumdog" could possibly know the answers. Jamal recounts, through flashbacks, the incidents in his life which provided him with each answer. These flashbacks tell the story of Jamal, his brother Salim, and Latika.
And the cast of the movie:
-Dev Patel as Jamal Malik
-Freida Pinto as Latika
-Madhur Mittal as Salim Malik
-Anil Kapoor as Prem Kumar
-Irrfan Khan as the Police Inspector
-Saurabh Shukla as Head Constable Srinivas
-Mahesh Manjrekar as Javed
-Sanchita Choudhary as Jamal's mother
