    Jamal's life is heartbreaking to see what he went through. Dev Patel did a fantastic job in this movie. This is such a beautiful, and at the same time a sad story.

    The intensity of this film brought me nonstop stress and wonder. The entire film gave me a feeling that anything can go wrong at any minute. It is such a saddening feeling how realistic this film seems. There is so much that can happen with one chance. What a first watch

    Slumdog Millionaire is an exhilarating ride-a fell-good yarn about a Mumbai street kid directed by Danny Boyle with a wild energy. Admittedly, the narrative can be unapologetically sentimental, but Boyle execute it with such finesses that it’s impossible to not embrace this film.

    So heartwarming yet tragic at the same time. Kept me on the edge of my seat. Crazy cinematics, the film is essentially 80% dutch angles
