Slumdog Millionaire is a 2008 British film directed by Danny Boyle, written by Simon Beaufoy, and co-directed in India by Loveleen Tandan.[2] It is an adaptation of the Boeke Prize-winning and Commonwealth Writers’ Prize-nominated novel Q & A (2005) by Indian author and diplomat Vikas Swarup.
Slumdog Millionaire was nominated for ten Academy Awards in 2009 and won eight, the most for any film of 2008, including Best Picture and Best Director. It also won five Critics’ Choice Awards jordan high heels , four Golden Globes, and seven BAFTA Awards, including Best Film. Despite the film’s success, it is the subject of controversy concerning its portrayals of Indians and Hinduism as well as the welfare of its child actors.
The movie is about the Indian version of the hit TV show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Dev Patel plays Jamal Malik, a former Mumbai street-kid who has a job making tea at a call centre. He astonishes all of India by entering the show as a contestant and triumphantly getting question after question right. Is he a fraud? A savant genius? Or is something weird going on? His amazing winning streak means he has to come back the next evening for the final big-money question and overnight he is brutally interrogated by Mumbai cops convinced he is a cheat. They take him through each of the questions he got right, and Jamal’s life story unfolds in flashback as our hero reveals that each question, like each of Max Bygraves’s cards, has a special significance. His tale involves crime, drama, knockabout comedy and romance. Various characters determine his fate: his gangster brother Salim (Madhur Mittal), the love of his life Latika (Freida Pinto) and Prem (Anil Kapoor), the creepy quizmaster himself, who has his own interest in Jamal’s staggering success. This movie has interesting antecedents. It is not the first to be made about Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Patrice Leconte’s 2006 film My Best Friend, starring Daniel Auteuil, features a nailbiting edition of the French version of Millionaire. Leconte’s film, like Boyle’s, culminates with a “phone a friend” showstopper and both cheekily suggest the show is transmitted live, when, in real life, it is of course recorded and edited well in advance, at least partly to weed out the cheats.
Slumdog Millionaire is The story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India’s “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show’s questions. Each chapter of Jamal’s increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the show’s seemingly impossible quizzes. But one question remains a mystery: what is this young man with no apparent desire for riches really doing on the game show? When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out. At the heart of its storytelling lies the question of how anyone comes to know the things they know about life and love.
The Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack was composed by A. R. Rahman who planned the score over two months and completed it in two weeks.[103] Rahman won the 2009 Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score and won two out of the three nominations for the Academy Awards, including one for Best Original Score and one for Best Original Song, the song “O… Saya” got a nomination shared with M.I.A. and the other song “Jai Ho” won the award and was shared with lyricist Gulzar. The soundtrack was released on M.I.A.’s record label N.E.E.T. Radio Sargam termed the soundtrack “magnum opus and the entire world is known to this fact.”
Slumdog director Danny Boyle – whose works such as Trainspotting, The Beach and Sunshine have all featured scores of nearly equal grandeur to the movies themselves – chose Rahman due to his unparalleled success (he’s sold over 100 million records and 200 million cassettes worldwide) and ubiquity in the Bollywood world in order to add to the film’s authenticity. Planning and completing the score in only two and a half months vibram five fingers shoes , Rahman worked out a sharp composite that reflects both the present day electronica/house/hip-hop sector of flashing lights abercrombie and fitch , street life and constant movement, along with the long-inherited Indian flavor of heavy sitars, vibrant tablas and hypnotizing voices.

Many of the biggest names in the music business began as opening acts. Christina Aguilera was the opening act for TLC. Taylor Swift has opened for Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, and Rascal Flats. And Destiny’s Child opened for Britney Spears. Occasionally, as in the case of Swift, by the time the tour ended, the opening act was as famous as the headliner.
So it’s a long standing tradition for performers and/or bands to share the stage with other acts. If you are a headliner, you want a performer that compliments your music. For example, if you’re a hip hop act, having a pop singer partial to ballads is probably not the best match. Conversely, someone like Harry Connick, Jr. probably wouldn’t team with a punk band. Sharing the stage means complimenting one another. The opening act preps the audience so their energy level is peaking when the headliner takes the stage.
For established bands and performers, opening acts are typically arranged by the labels or the artists’ agents and managers. Performers who haven’t reach a national level of fame find bands to share the stage with on their own. There is no set way to go about it, but here are some tips that will make the process more productive.
The most obvious way is to scour local clubs and open mike nights for a band that matches what you’re looking for. If you like their sound, go back and see them at least one more time, preferably a couple times more, to see if they are consistent performers and if their stage presence and energy engages the audience and leaves them clamoring to hear more music.
You can also advertise for bands in music publications or by posting notices at clubs, recording studios and at local colleges. Send a Tweet and post on Facebook. Go to music social sites and put the word out. You can then schedule a time to go hear them play. Or, arrange for both bands to play together in your rehearsal space. While it’s not essential to become best friends with other bands you share the stage with, it can prevent future conflicts if the personalities are a good match.
If both bands are just starting out, take turns to give both the experience being an opening act and a headliner.
