The story of the film starts with Jamal Malik (Dev Patel) in a police station. He is one question away from winning 20 million rupees on the Indian version of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,” and his young age (he’s 18), combined with his unparalleled success on the show, lead the authorities – and the show’s host – to suspect that he’s cheating. After some interrogation (yep, he’s tortured), Jamal tells the police sergeant about his childhood: growing up in the Mumbai slums, the death of his mother during a religious riot, and how he, his brother Salim (Madhur Mittal), and Jamal’s lifelong crush Latika (Freida Pinto) were living in a dump before being taken in by Maman (Ankul Vikal), who used the children as professional beggars. Jamal and Salim escape Maman’s camp, but Latika is left behind, and Jamal never stops thinking about her. When he sees Latika much later – and discovers she’s now the prize of crime lord Javed (Mahesh Manirekar) – he learns that she’s a fan of “Millionaire,” so he auditions to be a contestant more as a means to show his love for her than the money. Jamal certainly could not have imagined what would happen next.
10 Oscar nominations were recieved in 2009 by Slumdog Millionaire, including Best Picture. The film's Oscar nominated songs "O Saya" and "Jai Ho" were also performed during the awards ceremony.
