It is written”.  Following the story of a “slum dog” turned nearly millionaire, this movie follows Jamal through a difficult childhood as he serendipitously uses his past in order to complete the quiz show in the present.  Is Jamal’s performance on the up and up, or is he hiding something?  Will he win the jackpot or lose it all?  Is this movie even worth watching?  Find out this week on Cinema Cemetery.
