Athos, Parthos, Slumdog

So the million dollar question goes- Who is the third musketeer after Athos and Parthos??
Win one million or lose all?? and what does our protagonist do..... takes a random guess A) Aramis. Well if a slumdog who has never seen such kind of money take such a risk hell bet he is more of a musketeer than these three and D'Artagnan. 

Slumdog millionaire by Danny Boyle a rags to riches story of a Muslim boy Jamal who gets a chance on Who wants to be a millionaire and goes on to win the big prize. But how does he do it?.is he a)genius, b)cheating, c)luck or d)fate.  As the police torture goes - when doctors, lawyers and engineers cannot do it how can a slumdog.....
Watch the movie to find out.

The movie may have its flaws with the show being showed live and having a phone a friend question (in the age of internet how can u even think of this), a blind begging kid who would never have seen a dollar knows that a $100 note has Benjamin Franklin on it. And many others.... but still the actual storyline, the real Indian slum experience, great camera work make it a must watch movie.

this is a typical middle class mentality that a slumdog kid can not see $100 bill or know name of person portrayed. People exposed to unusual life have unusual experiences.
Well at least you'll know that beggars get a chance to come across foreign tourists more than you! :P
