They watch the entire show from the previous night, interrogating him about how he knows the answers, and he takes them through his biography.
He grew up in a slum, where his mother was killed in the Bombay riots, after which point he was brought into a gangster's begging ring with his brother Salim and a friend, Latika. After escaping from this life, he has made his way in the city, cut off from everyone he knows and working in a call center. Jamal has a quiet confidence and a sense of his own destiny, and this calm faith is what leads him to victory ultimately. The love interest of Jamal, Latika is a young girl, who was sold into prostitution at a young age from the begging ring.

An example of a slumdog is a boy living in a cardboard shelter in India. The reason Slumdog Millionaire did so well in the west is that it used many of the motifs of the Indian film style, but realised that for most Western palates, Bollywood offerings are just too overplayed.
