Hello again my dear followers!


This week, I'm going to talk to you about a movie which is considered the best of 2008 by many critics. The name of the movie is 'Slumdog Millionaire' and it is an adaptation of the prize winning novel 'Q&A' by the Indian author Vikas Swarup. The movie received 5 Critics' Choice Awards, 4 Golden Globes, 7 BAFTA Awards and 8 Academy Awards, including 'Best Picture' and 'Best Director'. The movie is distinct from the other good movies of 2008 with the great performances of its child actors. The director of the movie is Danny Boyle.


'Slumdog Millionaire' tells the story of an 18 year old orphan named Jamal Malik, who lives in the slums of Mumbai. Unbelievably, he has made it to the final question in the Indian version of 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?' and he is about to win 20 Million Rupees. His success in the quiz show arouses many people's suspicions, including the police. So, a police inspector interrogates him to find out if he was cheating. However, as the inspector interrogates Jamal, we will learn about his extraordinary life story.


Up to now, the movie grossed about $176 million and its IMDB rating is 8.6 out of 10.
