Samenvatting
Het verhaal van Jamal Malik, een jong weeskind dat besluit deel te nemen aan de Hindi versie van het programma 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire'. Het hele land kijkt toe terwijl Jamal nog maar één vraag verwijderd is van de hoofdprijs. Tijdens de pauze van het programma gebeurt er echter iets waar Jamal niet op had gerekend; hij wordt gearresteerd, omdat de politie zeker weet dat hij de boel aan het oplichten is. Ze kunnen het niet geloven dat een straatjongen zoals hij zoveel kennis heeft. Vastberaden zijn onschuld te bewijzen vertelt Jamal verhalen over de krottenwijk waar hij samen met zijn broer opgroeide, de avonturen die ze beleefden, ontmoetingen met bendes en hij vertelt over zijn vroegere liefde. Elk hoofdstuk in zijn verhaal is een wonderbaarlijke sleutel naar het antwoord op elk van de vragen. Verwonderd over zijn verhalen vraagt de politie zich af wat een jongen als hij - zonder een schijnbaar verlangen naar rijkdom - op zo'n spelvertoning doet. Als de laatste vraag beantwoord moet worden krijgen ze, samen met ongeveer negentig miljoen kijkers antwoord op deze vraag...Credits
