Slumdog Millionaire begins with a multiple choice mystery: how did Jamal Malik, an 18 year old orphan from the Mumbai slums, with a criminal history and practically no education, make it all the way to the final round of Who Wants to Be A Millionaire? Is he cheating? Is he a genius? Is it destiny? Or is he just incredibly lucky?
On the eve of his final appearance, with all India in suspense, Jamal is arrested and brutally interrogated by police convinced that he has somehow been fed the answers. Undeterred, Jamal (Dev Patel) explains how he learned the answer to each question on the mean streets – a neat bit of narrative structuring that divides the story of his life into bite-sized chapters.
