Slumdog millionaire
Once upon a time there was a poor boy called Jamal, who won a lot of money. How did he do it?
A: he cheated B: He’s lucky C: He’s a genius D: it is written. Slumdog millionaire is a movie of Jamal
Malik, a young boy from India, who wins 20 million rubies. He does this, only because he believes the love of his life will be watching. Jamal doesn’t know the answer to the last question, but he wins – how does he do it?
