Here is the “Slumdog Millionaire” plot description:

“Slumdog Millionaire” is the story of Jamal Malik: an 18-year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, India who is about to experience the biggest day of his life.

With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India’s “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire”. But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating. How could a street kid know so much?

Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs and of Latika. She’s girl he loved and lost.

Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show’s questions. Intrigued by Jamal’s story, a jaded police inspector begins to wonder what a young man with no apparent desire for riches is really doing on this game show.

When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the inspector and 60 million viewers are about to find out.

11:54 update on Dec. 12, 2008: Since the winners for this special HollywoodChicago.com Hookup need to submit to us their physical mailing address, we created a Web-based submission form to protect your private information and to keep it confidential.

After reading the directions stated within this Hookup, many people successfully submitted their answers using our confidential submission form.

Thereafter, though, some people started answering the incorrect question – one asked on the actual movie poster for this film rather than from us – and some publicly revealed their mailing addresses in user comments.

We kindly ask you not to post that information publicly. We have removed such public information from these comments. Thank you.
