XII. Read the passage and answer the questions.
Slumdog Millionaire
Slumdog Millionaire tells the story of two brothers growing up in a very large slum in the biggest city in India, Mumbai.
The film starts quite close to the end of the story, where we see Jamal, the younger of the two brothers, in a Mumbai police station. He is eighteen years old. The police have arrested him because he is taking part in the popular TV quiz show 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?', and some people think he is cheating.
He has already given the right answers to lots of questions and now has the chance to win a huge amount of money. He doesn't have much of an education, so how could he know all the answers?
The film then goes back in time and shows that Jamal knows the answers because of things that happened to him, his brother Salim and a girl called Latika in the past.
