I became soo interested in this movie after watching the Oscars. It was like nominated 10 times and won most of it including Best Picture. They also performed there and that also made me curious! 
Watched this movie with Joana when we had our girl bonding last week. We are both so impressed with the movie. I do agree that this is definitely oscar-worthy.
The movie started with a question:
“Jamal Malik is one question away from winning 20 million rupees. How did he do it?”
- He cheated
- He’s lucky
- He’s a genius
- It is written
Jamal is a contestant on the Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. And the story just unfolds there. As each question was asked, Jamal’s story is also being shown.. revealing that Jamal knows all the answers as he has experienced them all… I don’t wanna go into details as I think this is not yet shown here in Manila. But you get the gist..
At the end of the movie, you’ll know the answer to the question of how Jamal won the money.
There’s also a dance number at the end with all the cast and other dancers… cool & nice to watch.
I love it! 
it’s indeed the feel-good movie of the year. even i loved it.
I think the movie is not super wow ang ganda and meaningful but its just refreshingly new like a movie of a game show we are all familiar but seen in a different perspective.. it also paint a very colorful cuclture of India which is nice! I want to visit India 🙂
