There's a lot of buzz going around for a small movie called "Slumdog Millionaire". Basically, it's about an illiterate young man who has made it to the final question on the Indian version of WWTBAM. No one believes that such a person would be able to answer the questions on the show, so he gets hauled to the police station iand nterrogated about possibly cheating. He tells the detective in charge how, through incidents in his life (he was orphaned at an early age and lived on the streets, and there are a lot of flashbacks), he found out the answers to the questions- but he's not there for the money. He thinks he's fated to be with a woman who he's loved and lost throughout his life.
It's been doing very well at film festivals, and some people think it might have a chance to get some Oscar nominations, including Best Picture.
Here's the website for the movie...
