Stop crying.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you very much.
So, Jamal...
tell me something about yourself.
I work in a call center. In Juhu.
Good.
A phone basher.
And what type of call center would that be?
XL 5 mobile phones.
Oh. So you're the one who calls me up every single day of my life with special offers, huh?
No. Actually, I'm an assistant.
An assistant phone basher?
And what does a assistant phone basher do exactly?
I get tea for people and-
Chai wallah. A chai wallah!
Well, ladies and gentlemen...
Jamal Malik-
...from Mumbai, let's play Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
So, has he confessed yet?
Except his name, I could not get anything out of the runt.
You have been here a whole bloody night, Srinivas. What have you been doing?
He's a tough guy.
A little electricity will loosen his tongue. Give him.
Yes, sir.
Okay. So, were you wired up? Mobile or a pager?
A coughing accomplice in the audience...
or a microchip under the skin?
Huh?
- The chip is not here. - Not here?
- No. - Okay. Leave the chip. Leave the chip. Leave the chip.
It's hot...
and my wife is giving me hell...
and I've got a desk full of murderers, rapists...
extortionists, bum bandits and you.
So why don't you save us both a lot of time...
and tell me how you cheated.
Hmm.
I'm done, sir.
Now, listen.
Hello.
He's unconscious, Juti. What good is that?
How many times have I told you, Srinivas?
I'm sorry, sir.
Srinivas. Now we'll have...
Amnesty International here next, peeing in their pants about human rights.
Sir, I was thinking, um-
- Get him down, tidy him up, please, for God's sake! - Sir...
what if he did know the answers?
Professors, doctors, lawyers, general knowledge wallahs...
never get beyond 16,000 rupees.
He's on 10 million. What the hell can a...
slumdog possibly know?
The answers.
I knew the answers.
# They can't touch me We break off, run so fast they can't even catch me #
# Been that gypsy Touch me, I show you tricks with my sticks that quickly #
# Pick up their packs on my journey #
# Dogs run They start to follow me I have my luck #
# Some days they suck when we live for the buck we get for the family #
# One day I wanna be a star so I get to hang in a bar#
# I'll go to Vegas if they pay us just to forget my scars #
Sorry.
Sorry. Sorry.
Sorry!
# They can't touch me We break off#
- # Run so fast they can't even catch me #
# Been that gypsy Touch me #
# I show you tricks with my sticks that quickly ##
- Athos! - Athos!
- Cried the two musketeers. - Musketeers.
- Athos! - Athos!
Repeat it. "You have sent for me, sir,"said Athos.
- "You have sent for me, sir." - Ah.
Huh?
So...
Mr. Malik...
the man who knows all the answers.
Talk.
So, Jamal...
are you ready for the first question for 1,000 rupees?
Yes.
Not bad money to sit on a chair and answer a question.
Better than making tea, no?
No. Yes. No.
No? Yes? No?
Is that your final answer?
So, remember, you have three lifelines.
Ask the audience, fifty-fifty...
phone a friend.
So the first question for 1,000 rupees. Here we go.
Who was the star in the 1973 hit film Zanjeer?
Amitabh?
Amitabh Bachchan!
Salim!
Amitabh Bachchan!
Amitabh!
Yea!
Amitabh-
"A."Amitabh Bachchan.
Guess what. You're right. You just won 1,000 rupees.
You don't have to be a genius.
I knew it was Amitabh Bachchan.
- Hmm? - Mmm.
Like I said, don't have to be a genius.
He's the most famous man in India.
A picture of three lions...
is seen in the national emblem of India.
What is written underneath?
"A," the truth alone triumphs...
"B," lies alone triumph...
"C,"fashion alone triumphs...
"D," money alone triumphs?
What do you think, Jamal?
The most famous phrase of our country.
Would you like to phone a friend?
Ask the audience.
Put the poor man out of his misery, ladies and gentlemen.
My five-year-old daughter can answer that question, but you couldn't.
That's strange for a millionaire genius.
What happened?
Your accomplice nip out for a piss?
The inspector is asking something.
How much is pani puri at Harish's stall on Chowpatty?
What?
Pani puri. One plate, how much?
- Ten rupees. - Wrong.
Fifteen since Divali.
Who stole Constable Vermaas's bicycle...
outside Santa Cruz station last Thursday?
You know who that was?
Everyone in Juhu knows that.
Even five-year-olds.
Congratulations, Jamal. You just won 4,000 rupees.
For 16,000 rupees.
Religion.
Interesting.
In depictions of God Rama...
he is famously holding what in his right hand?
Hey, Jamal.
Jamal-
I wake up every morning wishing I didn't know the answer to that question.
If it wasn't for Rama and Allah...
I would still have a mother.
A bow and arrow.
Final answer?
Final answer.
Hmm. Ah. Computer-ji, "D"lock kiya-jaye.
You've just won 16,000 rupees.
Well done, my friend.
Time for a commercial break. Don't go away now.
You got lucky, huh?
If I were you, I would take the money and run.
You're not gonna get the next one.
Everybody back in 90, please. Okay?
Can you come and do the controls, please?
Salim.

Is this heaven?
You're not dead, Jamal.
What is it?
Some hotel, huh?
The Taj Mahal is considered the finest example of Mogul architecture.
... who died on June 17, 1631-
during the birth of their 14th child.
The Taj Mahal was completed around, uh, 1648, using a labor force of 20,000 workers-
In 1980 it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was cited as the-
If you would like to follow me...
I will show you 99 names of Allah on Mumtaz's tomb.
Please take off your shoes.
Please. Please. What time is the next tour?
We are on a very tight schedule, you see.
Have to see the Red Fort this afternoon.
- No, I- - Please, would it be possible...
to show us around now?
Obviously we understand that it costs more for just the two of us.
But of course, madam.
Please follow me.
The Taj Mahal was built by Emperor Khurram...
for his wife Mumtaz.
Was the maximum beautiful woman in the world.
So, when she died, the emperor decided to build this...
five-star hotel...
for everyone who'd like to visit her too.
But he died in 1587...
before any of the rooms were built or any of the lifts.
But the swimming pool, as you can see...
was completed on schedule, in top-class fashion.
There's nothing of this in the guidebook.
The guidebook was written by a bunch of lazy, good-for-nothing Indian beggars.
Oh.
And this, lady and gentleman, is the burial place of Mumtaz.
How did she die?
- A road traffic accident. - Really?
Maximum pileup.
I thought she died in childbirth.
Exactly, sir. She was on the way to hospital when it happened.
Ready? Don't move an inch.
Smile.
Unbreakable Thailand wood.
You take. Shoes!
American brands! Shoes!

This, Mr. David, is the biggest dhobi ghat in the whole of India.
That's amazing.
Come on. Take a real good look at this.
They say that every man in Uttar Pradesh...
is wearing a kurta that has been at least washed once out here.
Formula One! Formula One!
Pit stop ka speed! Schumacher ka style!
The-The cows, the-the buffaloes.
What are those over there?
Oh, shit.
What the hell happened here?
Okay-
Okay! Okay!
Cool it! Cool it, will ya? Jesus.
- You got insurance, don't ya? Are you okay?
- You wanted to see a bit of real India, here it is.
- All right! - Well, here is a bit of the real America, son.
Oh. Yes, yes. Jesus.

On an American $ 100 bill...
there is a portrait of which American statesman?
"A," George Washington...
"B," Franklin Roosevelt...
"C," Benjamin Franklin...
"D," Abraham Lincoln?
Pay or play, Jamal?
You decide.
Oh, God. He's looking at the camera. He hasn't got a clue.
This is gonna be a walk-away. Stand by.
No. He's gonna play with him first.
Jamal.
Get a lot of $100 bills in your line of work?
The minimum tip for my services.
Oh.
Now I know why my cell phone bills are so high.
They tip the chai wallah with $100 bills.
It's "C." Benjamin Franklin.
- You're gonna play, huh? - I think I just have, haven't I?
You certainly have. "C,"right? Right?
Who's on the thousand-rupee note?
I don't know.
You don't know?
Gandhi-ji.
Oh. I've heard of him.
Don't get clever...
or I'll get the electricity out again.
Look.
They didn't ask me that question.
I don't know why. Ask them.
It's funny. You don't seem that interested in money.
As a matter of fact, you have...
one million rupees!
Explain the $100 bill.
Bombay had turned into Mumbai.
Why can't you understand?
I'm sick of this now.
Two chicken burgers, two fries, one mango lassi, one Coke.
One mineral water.
Shimla.
I'm going to Chowpatty, okay?
Wanna come?
For God's sake. You've got some disease.
You forced me back to this shithole...
we leave our friends, a good life, loads of money... for this?
- We came back to find her. - You did.
I don't give a shit about her.
Plenty of pussy in Bombay for Salim.
Oh, yes, sir.
You should come back to the cages on Saturday night...
instead of go searching for your lost love.
I'm going to Chowpatty.
"I'm going to Chowpatty."
There are 19 million people in this city, Jamal.
Forget about her. She's history.
Dollars?
100.
Benjamin Franklin.
I'm sorry, Arvind.
Thanks.
