Saw this movie on the same day I started blogging. An amazing movie by Danny Boyle. A movie that clearly shows what real India is and how people survive in the slums of India. Ever imagined a boy from a slum becoming a millionaire by participating in a show called "Who wants to be a millionaire ?" ? A stunning performance by Dev Patel who plays the role of Jamal Malik, the boy who wins a million rupees in the show. The movie shows how simple things that we ignore in our day to day life play a very important role in the long run. Jamal remembers every single incident that happened in his life. Coincidentally, the questions that he encounters in the show relate themselves to all those incidents and help him answer all the questions.
Every day we ignore hundreds of things that happen around us treating them as petty things. But there is something underlying in each of those things. It is very important that we disinter the underlying essence of such things. It may not fetch us million dollars or million rupees like Jamal. But surely, some day they will fetch something even more worth than that.
One of the things that really hurt me in this movie was knowing how people make money in India by transforming innocent kids into beggars. They even resolve to cripple them or blind them so that the kids can earn more by begging in that state.
Here are some links to know more about this movie.
Very true to life movie. While watching it, I remember how being in Mumbai you see all these things
