Even slumdogs have dreams. Quite a breakaway from film producer CHRISTIAN COLSON's knack for horror/thriller movies. This production raked 8 OSCAR awards which catapulted AR RAHMAN into the mainstream OSCAR spotlight. Akin to the storyline itself, the setting, the cultural backdrop, and even the characters were "foreign" but made their way to the top. No need for subtitles. You can't help but notice the Indian accent in the dialogues, I mean the majority of it. The indigenous context was kept.
What a string of events. Or, should I say, "how the events were so stringed!". Jamal's life . Each milepost connected to every question that led him to 20 million rupees. But would you say that:
A) Jamal joined the TV contest just to find Latika?
B) Jamal really thinks that 20 million rupees may come in handy
C) Jamal was willing to forsake everything just to find his one true love
Q: WHAT IS YOUR FINAL ANSWER ?
