Amazon.co.uk Review
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. --Tom Keogh Stills from Slumdog Millionaire (Click for larger image)

A little grimmer than I expected, but a good combination of humour and life in the raw. When you see a film well after all the massive hype you can be disappointed,but it was entertaining but not a superb blockbuster.

I really wanted to like this but it was okay. The beginning part with the young boys and the girl was really good. It was disturbing and gripping at the same time. As the filmed moved on I found it slightly predictable, I could guess the end and just didn't really do anything for me. This maybe due to my expectations with the hype around it but generally it is an okay-good film but not as good as I hoped.
Brillliant in many ways, but ... October 1, 2009

Glad to have seen this on disk but would have been disappointed had I bothered to go to a cinema. It's oversold as a "feel good" story. In fact it's a brilliantly acted and directed story of a deeply ugly and largely credible side of Indian sub-culture - with a few bits of less than hilarious humour thrown in - but made box office friendly by a fantasy-world sub plot of nice boy loves beautiful girl and they live happily ever after. All a matter of taste, but for me disappointing.

The dvd has a good story and shows a great deal of back ground on the lifestye of India's poor and in particular that of life in Mumbai. The dvd was delivered in the promised timescale.
