Screenwriter Simon Beaufoy wrote Slumdog Millionaire based on the Boeke Prize-winning and Commonwealth Writers' Prize-nominated novel Q & A by Vikas Swarup. To hone the script, Beaufoy made three research trips to India and interviewed street children, finding himself impressed with their attitudes. The screenwriter said of his goal for the script: "I wanted to get (across) the sense of this huge amount of fun, laughter, chat, and sense of community that is in these slums. What you pick up on is this mass of energy."

I’m surprised that such a sweet, naive and simple fairy tale for adults in a modern setting could win so many awards and be so loved by the audience. The main feature of the script with predetermination of fate is pathetic, forgive me. I only liked Boyle’s direction and the soundtrack. Translated to English
Somehow I didn’t understand the joke of the film at all. Dude from India wins Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? thanks to the fact that life gave him answers to his questions. Very plausible, I believe it. How many Oscars come from? The only spoiler is that the host of the show is voiced by Dibrov. Translated to English
The film is clearly overrated by both critics and the general audience. Constant flashbacks do not allow you to feel sympathy for the characters, much less worry about them. Crossing a social drama with a fairy tale is like crossing a man with a monkey, it looks like a common ancestor, but the result is a freak. Translated to English
This film was liked by both viewers and critics, because it is based on an easily understandable love story, and the combination of drama and the game of who wants to be a millionaire gives a sense of novelty in the style of presentation of the material. I liked the film, I recommend it Translated to English
I remember that for me it was an unusual experience of getting to know life in India. I liked the film primarily for the way it was shot. Translated to English
Tales of the peoples of the world. Volume 3. India. No, it seems to be quite good, but this excessive fabulousness, which at the end simply splashes over the edge, tired me a little. The child actors (actors?) looked great on camera. Translated to English
The difference between the first and last views is 11 years. Little (I) has matured and no longer believes in fairy tales. Translated to English
And just so you understand: Slumdog Millionaire beat out The Curious Case of Benjamin Button for the Academy Award for Best Picture by a wide margin. This is absurd! Translated to English
A bright, pleasant British movie about an Indian or a Hindu, not the essence, who plays in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and all the selection questions are related to his difficult life. In general, this is a beautiful movie about love, and yes, there will be song and dancing at the end. Translated to English
