BengGaBoy Ratings :

4 / 5 (Make time to watch it !!!)








This is not a typical Bollywood show you would typically see in the movies, however, the ending does resemble quite a fair bit due to the tradition of adding choreography dance moves :(

Anyway, this show talks about an 18 years old boy, Jamal, who was in the midst of becoming the 1st Indian to win the "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" show. He was only 2 questions away from winning the top prize of 20 million rupees. However, the host wasn't convinced he was that smart and suspected of cheating by Jamal.

Unfortunately, Jamal was arrested by the police for further investigation. This is where the story start to get interesting. For every correct answer to the question posed by the game show, there was a sad story behind it.

It was terrible to see another forsaken side of India where we are sitting at the comfort of our home watching those kids been exploited by the society and robbing their innocence and youth. Those 2 kids who reenacted Jamal and his brother was supereb in their acting, very realistic and at the same time, pitiful.

Nevertheless, I will leave the ending whereby whether Jamal won the final prize and his journey to becoming a millionaire to you............
