Plot
When the unlikely Jamal (Patel) gets through round-upon-round of India’s Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, he is arrested for cheating. During the interrogation, as he tells his tragic life story, it seems fate may be calling the shots...

Verdict
Danny Boyle’s finest since Trainspotting. In fact, it’s the best British/Indian gameshow-based romance of the millennium.
