Moreover, Mumtaj mahal was killed in a road accident ,of course while child-birth,while she was taken to the hospital in a cab.
do you know your life could be in deep shit while trying to get autograph of the bollywood icon-Amitabh bachchan.
Or do you know who the third musketeer was in alexender dumas's book by the same name.
Well you get all your answers in Doyle's "SlumDog Millionaire".
This is a the story of these three musketters viz Salim malik and latika.
A wonderful ficticios story of a slumdog,who turns into a millionaire at the end.
He's leart all his lesson the hard way.Life's taught him all the answers till the journey to the sets of "who wants to be a millionaire".
A far fetched yet beautifully narrated story of hardships, bitrayal,persistance and love.
A must watch even if it were never nominated for such huge awards.

After failing to find a suitable actor in India, Dev Patel was cast as the lead role, Jamal, after Danny Boyle's daughter first saw him on the English TV show "Skins" (2007) and urged her father to take a look.
Mercedes-Benz asked that its logos be removed in scenes taking place in the slums. The company, according to Danny Boyle, did not want to be associated with the poverty-stricken area, fearing that that might taint its image.
The actor whose autograph young Jamal gets is Amitabh Bachchan. Amitabh Bachchan is a very real, and very famous Indian actor, the original host of the Indian version of 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire', and also the father-in-law of Aishwarya Rai (or Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan as she is known after marriage).
The cricket match being shown on television in Javed's house is the 1st one day international of the Future Cup between India and South Africa played at Civil Service Cricket Club, Stormont, Belfast on June 26 2007. As shown in the movie, Sachin Tendulkar, the Indian batsman, was run out on 99. India went on to score 242 and South Africa won the match by 4 wickets with 3 balls remaining.
The film used a prototype Digital Cinema Camera from Silicon Imaging. When used in Mumbai, there were SI technicians on set constantly to deal with any problems the prototype had, of which there were many.
factual Errors:
Factual errors: (Possibly deliberate decision of filmmakers for benefit of international audience) The Indian numbering system does not use millions. After one thousand, there is the lakh, which is a hundred thousand, and then a crore, which is a hundred lakh (hence ten million). 10 Million rupees should have been referred to as "1 Crore" and would have been written 1,00,00,000 instead of 10,000,000.
Factual errors: In the actual game show in India the game starts with 10 contestants and a fastest finger first round. Only the person who answers the quickest gets to sit on the hot seat, yet in the movie Jamal automatically gets to sit on the hot seat without any fastest finger first round.
Factual errors: In the real quiz show, besides the contestant there are nine more contestants sitting around the hot seat in case the player loses, but in the movie no one was sitting waiting around the hot seat stage.
Factual errors: In the movie, the correct answer to the question of who wrote the song "Darshan Do Ghanshyam Naath" is shown as "Kavi Surdas". However in reality, this song is written by G.S.Nepali.
Continuity: While driving the car after escaping from Javed and going towards meeting Jamal, the scar appears on right side of Latika's face although it is on left side of her face before the scene when Salim slips her hair and in rest of the movie.
Continuity: After the scene where Jamal got a black eye from the cab driver, his swollen eye was his left eye, but in one shot, it was his right eye.
Audio/visual unsynchronized: In the scene where Javed is partying with his friends and Latika is held captive, the audio playing in the background is from the movie 'Don', whereas the visual shown on TV is from the movie 'Yuva'.
Factual errors: The young Salim and Jamal are shown to attend the primary municipality school at Mumbai. These schools never had the Three Musketeers story in syllabus. In fact, schools except convent do not have the story in syllabus.
Anachronisms: Although the events of the movie are set in the summer of 2006, the cricket match being played at Javed's house between India and South Africa was played in 2007.
Continuity: When Salim and Jamal find Latika in the dance studio she is seen without and then with a nose ring.
Continuity: In the scene where Jamal and Latika see each other at the railway station (when they are grown up and in the next scene Latika gets kidnapped by Salim), Jamal is standing on the over bridge and spots Latika and calls out to her looking downwards and towards his right. Then when Latika spots him she is looking up and towards her left, this is not possible as the directions they are looking at they will never be able to spot each other.
Factual errors: Who Wants To Be A Millionaire is not broadcast live. This is to prevent potential Phone-A-Friend's from seeing the questions on TV before they are contacted
factual errors:
In india, the hindi adaptaion of WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE -Kaun Banega Crorepati wasen's live.
Please,watch the movie and suggest some more
