The
surprise
British
film
of the
year
walked
off
with
most
top
awards,
including
the
multi-Oscar
wins
from
Best
Picture
to Best
Director.
Trainspotting
and
28 Days
Later
director
Danny
Boyle
took
this
amazing
story
(based
on the
novel
by Vikas
Swarup,
the
Indian
high
commissioner
to South
Africa)
and
gave
it a
gritty,
human
edge
filled
with
tension,
humour,
pain
and
redemption.
The
tale
is told
via
a young
man
who
makes
it onto
the
Indian
version
of Who
Wants
To Be
A Millionaire.
Each
question’s
answer
has
a tale
behind
it,
taking
the
viewer
back
into
his
hard
life
from
a young
boy
to present,
and
the
various
circumstances
lodging
the
knowledge
in his
mind.
A wonderful
little
movie.
PS.
For
cricket
fans,
the
South
African
team
gets
some
screen
time
on a
TV set
in one
scene
and
get
included
in one
of the
game
show
questions.
