I am at the part in Slumdog Millionaire where Ram begins to recount his life to his lawyer. He begins by telling the life experience that led him to answering the first question on the game show correctly. In this chapter we also learn a little bit more about his life. We learn that he has a best friend named, Salim, who has an idol named Armaan Ali. He begins by telling how his friend’s “tiny room in the chawl is a shrine” of Ali (Swarup 19). Since his friend has so must knowledge about Ali and takes Ram with him to see movies of his, he acquires that knowledge. The first question is “Can you name the blockbusting film in which Armaan Ali starred with Priya Kapoor for the very first time?” (Swarup 33). Of course, Ram answers this question with ease. Why would they think he cheated when these questions are so general?
