Danny Boyle (Sunshine) directed this wildly energetic,
Dickensian drama about the desultory life and times of an Indian boy
whose bleak, formative experiences lead to an appearance on his
country's version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" Jamal (played as
a young man by Dev Patel) and his brother are orphaned as children,
raising themselves in various slums and crime-ridden neighorhoods and
falling in, for a while, with a monstrous gang exploiting children as
beggars and prostitutes. Driven by his love for Latika (Freida Pinto),
Jamal, while a teen, later goes on a journey to rescue her from the
gang's clutches, only to lose her again to another oppressive fate as
the lover of a notorious gangster. Running parallel with this
dark yet irresistible adventure, told in flashback vignettes, is the
almost inexplicable sight of Jamal winning every challenge on "Who
Wants to Be a Millionaire?," a strong showing that leads to a vicious
police interrogation. As Jamal explains how he knows the answer to
every question on the show as the result of harsh events in his
knockabout life, the chaos of his existence gains shape, perspective
and soulfulness. The film's violence is offset by a mesmerizing exotica
shot and edited with a great whoosh of vitality. Boyle successfully
sells the story's most unlikely elements with nods to literary and
cinematic conventions that touch an audience's heart more than its head.
