Overall Rating: 6 out of 10 Starring: Deve Patel
Genre: Adult Drama
This is not an easy one to review. The focal point is the appearance of an 18 year-old Indian orphan on the Hindu version of “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?”
The movie shifts back and forth from the contest venue to his (and his older brother's) youth in squalid Mamba, his detention and escape from a merciless and brutal gang, back to the comfort, then to his interrogation by police who can't believe an uneducated youth is able to answer difficult questions without cheating. Numerous other elements are involved -- betrayal by the brother, the unctuous host of Millionaire and (you guessed it) a pretty young girl who grows from an orphan into beautiful love interest.
