Who knew there was a Hindi version of "Who Wants to be A Millionaire?" At first I thought this was going to be a comedy. Although there are some very funny moments, it is also much more intense and complicated. It's also a drama and a love story. I knew peripherally about the Indian caste system, but I had no idea how bad it could be. The evolution of the story and how everything leads to Jamal Malik airing on the show is so well thought out and portrayed. Simply fantastic and sometimes brutal. The cast is amazing, especially the children. (For full list and more details please see imdb.com.) Go see this film!!!
