Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

If one leaves his baggage at the door and takes this film for what it is then it's watchable.

Is it the pinnacle of film making? No. But it is worth seeking out and watching.

Having the answers to the questions available because of his life experiences gives a look at the humanity within Jamal and every human being, regardless of circumstances, position or caste, you seem to have missed this silent/non overt commentary on the caste system contained within this film.

By the way, the game show part of the plot not only examines the precarious existence of many in the so called 'Third World' but also the random nature of existence for all of us to some degree.

Oh and Muslim/Hindu violence is a huge problem in India as is the caste system, to point to one or the other and declare it "the real problem" is simplistic at best.
