But how has this uneducated young man from the slums succeeded in providing correct responses to questions that have stumped countless scholars before him? And will he ultimately win it all or lose everything, including his true love? Review: Triumph of the Human Spirit - This film won several Oscars and deserved them all. It is a unique masterpiece that grabs the viewer on several levels: the story, the setting, the acting and the cinematography. SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE is the story of how Jamal, a young, uneducated man, from India's lowliest slums, working in the most menial of jobs, achieves unprecedented success as a contestant on "Who Wants to Be A Millionaire?" It seems impossible to believe that he would have the kind of knowledge to answer a wide assortment of questions that clearly would appear to be outside his scope of experience. But therein lies the brilliance of the film: how he knows the answers to each question is woven into the fabric of his life's experiences and told in flashback. Orphaned at a very young age when their mother is brutally murdered, Jamal and his older brother Salim, survive amidst trash dumps. Their lives are brutally harsh and made more so when they become ensnared by a professional gang of beggars, and later when they do what they must to eke out a living. Yet in each vignette of their lives something occurs that provides Jamal with the critical knowledge he uses later on the TV program. Threaded throughout his story is his undying passion for a little orphan girl, Latika, who he repeatedly loses and then finds only to lose her again. This is a story of the triumph of the human spirit. No matter how battered down and hopeless life appears, Jamal never gives up. An unforgettable movie that has already become an "essential". Review: Must Watch, but, you'll experience the extremes of human iniquity and human rapture. - Every American should watch this movie when they are old enough. I've seen poverty in Jamaica, Mexico, and Ethiopia. If you have never seen poverty, this is a REAL look at how most of the Earth's population lives. When we went to Ethiopia to pick up our adopted children, we were told that children were purposefully mutilated to help them be more efficient at begging, well, this movie goes there. Would you give money to those kids? If you do, you feed them. If you do, you feed the system that promotes destroying children. Tough call isn't it? ... What about the movie? It is a great plotline/story written at the high point of WWtbaMillionaire phenomenon around the world. From the depths of human filth and abuse, comes the story of three kids and how they overcome in the most unlikely way. I don't know if any other 'underdog' movie comes close, or should I say 'slumdog' movie? I bought the DVD to show to the World Religions class that I teach in a Lutheran high school. The kids are getting an education. I fast-forward through the scenes I know are too rough to show in school, but I can't show them a better movie to help them understand the Caste System, up close and personal. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001P9KR94 | | Actors | Anil Kapoor, Dev Patel, Freida Pinto, Rajendranath Zutshi, Saurabh Shukla | | Aspect Ratio | 2.35:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,886 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #718 in Drama Blu-ray Discs | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (6,887) | | Director | Danny Boyle, Loveleen Tandan | | Dubbed: | French, Spanish | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | FXSE2273239BR | | Language | English (Dolby TrueHD), French (Dolby Digital 5.1), Spanish (Dolby Digital 5.1) | | MPAA rating | R (Restricted) | | Media Format | AC-3, Blu-ray, Color, DTS Surround Sound, Dolby, Dubbed, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 2 | | Product Dimensions | 7.5 x 0.7 x 5.4 inches; 3.2 ounces | | Release date | March 31, 2009 | | Run time | 2 hours | | Studio | Fox Searchlight | | Subtitles: | English, French, Spanish | | Writers | Simon Beaufoy, Vikas Swarup | ## Product Details - **Genre:** drama - **Language:** English, French - **Runtime:** 2 hours ## Images ![Slumdog Millionaire - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ABSpctGjL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Triumph of the Human Spirit *by R***E on May 3, 2009* This film won several Oscars and deserved them all.

I've seen poverty in Jamaica, Mexico, and Ethiopia. If you have never seen poverty, this is a REAL look at how most of the Earth's population lives. When we went to Ethiopia to pick up our adopted children, we were told that children were purposefully mutilated to help them be more efficient at begging, well, this movie goes there. Would you give money to those kids? If you do, you feed them. If you do, you feed the system that promotes destroying children. Tough call isn't it? ... What about the movie? It is a great plotline/story written at the high point of WWtbaMillionaire phenomenon around the world.

I don't know if any other 'underdog' movie comes close, or should I say 'slumdog' movie? I bought the DVD to show to the World Religions class that I teach in a Lutheran high school. The kids are getting an education. I fast-forward through the scenes I know are too rough to show in school, but I can't show them a better movie to help them understand the Caste System, up close and personal. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hard to watch, Horrifying, But Totally Worth It *by E***Y on January 1, 2011* Most of the people that have criticized this movie have complained of the horrors that our hero faces. Quite frankly, they have a valid point. The gritty nature of this movie is probably a shock to the system for most. I know it was for me. But if you sit down to watch this movie, you realize that so much of our knowledge isn't learned in school. It's learned every day as we face reality, even if that reality is a cruel one (as in Jamal's case). Jamal's back story (and the reason he knows the answers to India's version of, "Who Wants to be a Millionaire") is startling and charming and important, all at the same time. If you really want to understand everything good about this movie, take it in and let yourself be affected by the tragedy portrayed. No doubt, there are many "slumdogs" out there who face loss and human cruelty far worse than Jamal did in this film. Can you imagine? Because of the lessons I learned and because this movie didn't shy away from teaching me them, it deserves every accolade. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2956397-slumdog-millionaire](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2956397-slumdog-millionaire) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
