2008’s most lauded film, Oscar winner for Best Picture Slumdog Millionaire is available this week for purchase. Orphaned as a child, Jamal and his older brother, Salim, subsist on the streets of Mumbai where Jamal falls hard for Latika, an orphan girl. Then a nightmarish incident separates Jamal from Latika for years, and Jamal and Salim forge separate paths. While Salim eventually works at the right hand of Mumbai’s wealthiest crimelord, Jamal becomes a humble “chai wala” (tea boy) at a call center. But Jamal never forgets Latika, and in a desperate attempt to reconnect with her, he becomes a contestant on Latika’s favorite game show, not to win money, but hoping she’ll be watching and will know where to find him. Rated R.
