Power of Hope and Love - The Slumdog Millionaire

As a slum kid is only a question away from winning a grand prize of 20 millions rupees, the question that struck on everyone's mind is: How did he do it? Is it by means of cheating? Or is it the work of lady fortune? Or is it because this uneducated chap is a born-genius? Or is it because it written in the stars?

Coming from the worst slum in India, Jamal Malik is not the likeliest candidate to be sitting in the last stage of one of the world's highly successful TV show - Who wants to be a millionaire. Conspiracy. Cheating. That seemed to be the consensus that most people had in mind.

After hours of interrogation and series of brutal treatment and tortures, one thing emerges as a new certainty. It seems that, hard as it is to accept, but the unlikeliest
journey on the planet seems to be genuine after all. More intriguing is the fact that, behind every answer to every question lies a painful truth, the dark side of slums that is common in many parts of India.

But how on earth did Jamal Malik end up in the variety show? Pain. Anguish. Hope to recover the love that had long seemed lost. Audacity. Perseverance. Refusal to surrender to fate. Faith in own-written destiny.
These are the ingredients behind his quest for this improbable journey.

This is a yet but entertaining drama. There are many inspiring lessons that for those who are going through failures in life can learn from. Just what is the answer to the question posed at the beginning? Conspiracy? Sheer luck? Genius? Or Destiny? Find out the answer as you traverse the other facets of life and discover things that you never thought possible.
