SLUM DOG MILLIONARE a movie starring Anil Kapoor and Irfan khan won the People’s choice award at the 33rd Toronoto International festival. This film is based on the story of a Mumbai based Slum child Jamal who wins a fortune at a reality quiz show. In the film Anil Kapoor plays the host of the T.V. show. The movie was voted as the best film by audiences, winning the first Cadillac People’s Choice Award at the fest. Dev Patel has essayed the role of Jamal. The is a true story of a boy who goes onto the Hindi version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire, and wins it. However things are complicated when the makers of the show don’t believe he won it fair and square since he’s illiterate. That doesn’t really bother the boy though as he actually went on the show to catch the eye of the girl he loves who he has lost contact with, someone he knows watches every episode.
The best part of the story, though, is that the boy didn’t mean to do so well; he only wanted to go on television in the hopes it would help him find his love, a girl who he’d lost connection with. Sounds like another fairy tale perfectly suited for Boyle. Tell me that isn’t one of the strangest plots you’ve heard in a long time! Well it does appear to be true as this is the plot Danny Boyle revealed in public. Strange it may be, but at least it’s original isn’t it?
This time Bollywood’s super singer Sukhwinder has recorded a song for Danny Boyle’s film Slum Dog Millionaire.
Sounds OK
