STORY

The story of the film revolves around an eighteen year old orphan boy Jamal Malik (Dev Patel) from slums of Mumbai, who wants to win 20 million rupees on the game show ‘Who wants to be a millionaire’ to win back her beloved. Though, the boy does not have money at the time, but he is just one question away from winning and could end up being a millionaire anytime.

But this is not so easy for Jamal. He has been arrested by the police on the charges of cheating, as the police can not believe that a poor orphan ‘slumdog’ could have the requisite knowledge to come so far. In order to convince the authorities about his knowledge, Jamaal begins reflecting on his childhood.

There is one interesting thing in the novel Q & A. Salim ,Ram Mohammad Thomas's best friend (Jamal in Slumdog) ,reads about his icon Armaan Ali being a gay in a gossip film magazine "Starburst". You cannot fail to guess the magazine he's alluding to. The bitchy and daring "Stardust" of course.
Also, The actor described paints Hritik's picture in my mind. Definitely the appearance of the Actor is inspired from Hritik .Just the appearance alright!!!The Character of the actor doesn't sound like Hritik at all.I guess only Stardust would dare telling you who it might be ?
