Slumdog Millionare - 8 Oscars

1st time I saw a kissing scene in an Indian Movie... when is malaysia coming to age?

If you have not watch this movie, you are missing out on a lot.. the concept, plot and storyline is totally brilliant and creative... when friends told me to watch, i thought, its just another film with big names.. but then, iv more and more and even more friends who kept asking me to watch.. i finally got down, watch the film and love it.. hahaha...

what is it all about? go and watch it.. but here is a little summary on the film....

Slumdog Millionaire is the story of Jamal Malik (Patel), an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India¹s "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?"

But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika (Pinto), the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show¹s questions.

Each chapter of Jamal¹s increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the show¹s seemingly impossible quizzes. But one question remains a mystery: what is this young man with no apparent desire for riches really doing on the game show?

When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out.
