Slumdog Millionaire is a 2008 British drama film directed by Danny Boyle, co-directed by Loveleen Tandan, and written by Simon Beaufoy. It is an adaptation of the Boeke Prize-winning and Commonwealth Writers' Prize-nominated novel Q & A (2005) by Indian author and diplomat Vikas Swarup.
Set and filmed in India, Slumdog Millionaire tells the story of a young man from the slums of Mumbai who appears on the Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (Kaun Banega Crorepati, mentioned in the Hindi version) and exceeds people's expectations, arousing the suspicions of the game show host and of law enforcement officials.
After screenings at the Telluride Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival, Slumdog Millionaire initially had a limited North American release on 12 November 2008 by Fox Searchlight Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures, to critical acclaim and awards success. It later had a nationwide release in the United Kingdom on 9 January 2009 and in the United States on 23 January 2009. It premiered in Mumbai on 22 January 2009.
Slumdog Millionaire was nominated for ten Academy Awards and won eight of them, the most of any film that year, including Best Picture. It also won five Critics' Choice Awards, four Golden Globes, and seven BAFTA Awards, including Best Film. The film is also the subject of controversy concerning its portrayal of India and Hinduism as well as the welfare of its child actors.

Sebab banyak sangat dapat anugerah di samping kontroversi, menyebabkan aku nak tau cerita ni pasal ape sebenarnya... Cerita dia simple je. Mengisahkan dua beradik yang berasal dari sebuah tempat yang miskin di Mumbai, membesar dengan penuh dugaan dan cabaran yang korang memang tak ingin alami... salah seorang dari dua beradik itu, Jamal telah menyertai rancangan 'Who Wants to Be A Millionaire?' semata2 ingin menjejaki kekasih hatinya, tanpa menjangka bahawa pengalaman hidupnya bernilai 20 juta Rupee...
Cerita yang menarik sebab lain daripada apa yg di 'potray' oleh citer2 Tamil dan Hindustan selama ni... You can see the ugly side of India in this movie. Pengalaman hidup Jamal dan Salim memang tragik. Daripada menjadi anak yatim piatu dalam sekelip mata, hilang tempat berteduh, terjebak dalam kancah jenayah, diaorang struggle untuk survive sehinggalah Salim menjadi seorang penjenayah manakala Jamal pula bekerja di sebuah call centre. Tapi kisah percintaan memang tak boleh lari lah.. :) Kasih- sayang antara seorang abang kepada adik, kasih-sayang antara sahabat dan kasih-sayang antara dua insan yang bercinta... Nice story... but be prepared emosionally...
