IMDB Top 250 #133
Personal rating: 4/5 (First of all, I need to talk about the soundtrack. It’s AMAZING! A.R. Rahman is a musical genius. Now to the story… It is hard to believe that this kid had such luck that all the questions were related to facts of his life and therefore he knew the answers. But this is a movie, so, who cares? I love the story, the scenery and curiously the 2 characters I loved the most were the show host - portrayed by Anil Kapoor - and the older version of Salim - by Madhur Mittal.)
