Review
After I read the synopsis of this movie, I found it very interesting. All this while, I just heard people's talk and the review on newspapers of how great this film is. Since I'm planning to go to cinema this weekend, I might as well give this film a shot. It would be interesting to watch this kind of film where it shows the reality of India country and its people. The plot really interest me when it is about a young, naive and educationless boys is competing for the show 'Who Wants To be a Millionaire'. Besides, it tells the boy's journey of growing up, about his adventurous on the road, and about his long-lost childhood lover. This movie won a lot of Oscar film recently including the award for Best Picture, so I think I have to watch this movie and I'm trusting that it would be really worth for people to watch.
