he slumdog and the Millionaire
That should have been the real title for the movie ‘Slumdog Millionaire’. Various sites around the world reported that the boy who played the brother of the main character in the movie that won 8 Oscars gained little to nothing from his movie adventure. Even worse, what happened to the movie’s Jamal Malik in his early youth when an angry mob decimates his muslim neighbourhood killing his mother, actually more or less happened to the little actor in real life. Azharuddin Ismail was rudely woken up by a police officer wielding a bamboo stick. Ten minutes later his house was bulldozed to pieces together with all the dwellings in the same shanty town.
