Jamal Malik is competing on India’s version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? As he gets closer and closer to the grand prize, the authorities wonder how a street kid from such abject poverty could know so much. Flashbacks, masterfully woven into the modern day storyline, make this clear as they detail our young hero’s difficult life. Powerfully moving drama from director Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, 28 Days Later) pulls no punches. The first half of the movie shows an India that is pure hell for children from the slums, but out of this suffering, there is hope. The movie is a triumph!
