Slumdog Millionaire is a rags to riches story which show an over throw of political powers, and the success of social life. Jamal a young boy who is an orphan from Mumbai lives and breathes for Latika, a beautiful woman who has always been his other half. They grew up in the slums of Mumbai and had nothing but the means of survival to keep them going. When faced up against a political battle, when Jamal is placed on "Who wants to be a Millionaire", they fight a battle one never saw coming. Jamal is arrested for cheating at the game. The political battle fought here, is that the "higher class" does not want to see someone from the slums who is uneducated win their show that proves brains, which are gained through schooling, something Jamal never has had. Jamal tells his story to the police officer of what happened between him, Latika, and his brother Salim. Salim works for Javed who pretty much owns the love of his life Latika. The host of "Who wants to be a Millionaire" will do anything in his power to keep Jamal from winning the show, even if it is telling him the wrong answer in the bathroom, but saying it is the right one. Jamal is not deceived because he is used to deception like the deception of his brother in the early years of his life. Jamal truly used his "slumdog" knowledge of the streets to surprise the whole country of India. He is allowed to play the show when the interrogation is over, and the government finally believes that Jamal has not been cheating, just one lucky kid about to have a fairy tale ending. After winning the game show, he wins over the heart of Latika finally who escaped Javed's with the help of Salim. Salim dies, for his brother. This truly is a fairy tale, which is blockaded in many ways by higher political powers. Rags to riches, Slums to palaces. Jamal and Latika live happily ever after.
Jai Ho means may victory be yours. This song is a great example of exactly what Slumdog Millionaire is about. Whether the victory was winning the game show, or beating the slumdog life and not letting it ruin you, victory was won for Jamal. Victory once again is awarded to Jamal who struggled the whole time to save Latika from the evil Javed. Jai Ho is a perfect way to describe the transition from slumdog to millionaire. This song is an awesome way to end the movie!
