This story starts just outside of London at Elstree Studios during a taping of the TV show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.

You know, that's where it started.

Okay.

Originally.

Okay.

Over the years, there have been many international versions of the show, but it first aired in the UK in 1998, and by its peak in 1999, British Millionaire is a huge cultural phenomenon.

About 19 million people watch every episode.

They didn't want me to know about anything bad any of the Clintons have ever done.

I was watching Celebrity Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, Tom.

And the first time the old gray lady, the New York Times, the paper of record ever talked printed the F word uncensored.

Yeah.

I will say upfront, the narrative structure of the film is that most of the film takes place in flashback.

The framing sequence is that the main character, uh, Jamal Malik, is competing in the Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.

As the film opens, he is on the precipice of winning the major jackpot, and he has been taken off by the police, who believe he is cheating, and, um, interrogated, and then he begins to relate his life story, um, to kind of give reasons as to why he knew the answers to the various questions that he was presented with.

The synopsis unfolds in chronological order of Malik's life-- or excuse me, Jamal's life.

Attempting to meet him there, Latika is captured by Javed's men, led by Salim.

He scars her face while driving-- Salim scars her face while driving away.

Jamal loses contact with Latika, and in a final attempt to reach her, he becomes a contestant on Kaun Banega Crorepati, which, as I said, is Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, knowing that she watches the show.

Jamal plays well and becomes popular across India, much to the dismay of the show's host, Prem Kumar.

David Haye.

And he was on Celebrity Who Wants to Be a Millionaire a while ago.

Did anyone watch that?

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? No.

Yeah, with Jeremy Clarkson.

No way.

They, they, they asked the questions.

It's like Who Wants To Be a Millionaire, and they give you multiple choice questions.

Oh, okay.

I don't need no multiple choice.
