Synopsis

Directed by Boyle (TRAINSPOTTING, 28 DAYS LATER) and written by Simon Beaufoy (THE FULL MONTY) SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE won the Audience Award at the Toronto Film Festival 2008.

British actor Dev Patel (SKINS TV series) plays Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's ''Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?' Arrested on suspicion of cheating, he tells the police the incredible story of his life on the streets, and of the girl he loved and lost.

But what is a kid with no interest in money doing on the show? And how is it he knows all the answers?
