How Does Latika Change In Slumdog Millionaire

The film Slumdog Millionaire tells the story of an impoverished boy, who lost his mother at a young age because their Muslim community was persecuted by Hindus, and the survival of him and his older brother along with another street child, Latika. The children came together to do whatever is necessary to survive, such as being in a ring of beggars, stealing shoes, and faking as tourist guides. Throughout the movie, Latika and the brothers continue to get separated from one another, but years later, the brothers finally find her as she is about to be sold as a sex slave or child prostitute. The older brother, Salim, changes his demeanor when he shot and killed the man who was in charge of the ring of beggars and child prostitutes. After this occurred, the children go into an abandoned hospital, where Salim throws Jamal out of the room, but still has Latika in his custody.

However, he never gave up on finding either one of them because he loves his brother despite his actions, and is in love with Latika. As he became an adult, he worked at a call center as a tea bringer, and one day uses the computer’s database to locate his brother and lover. He finds that his brother is in a gang, and Latika is held in captivity with a rich man who runs a drug and prostitution gang. Jamal tried to plan an escape for them to run away together, but she gets caught in the process. So, Jamal goes onto a popular television show called “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” in hope that she is watching. He makes it all the way to the final question, but is detained by the police for suspicion of cheating. He retells his entire life story, including each detail that explains how he knew the answer to each question. After interrogation, he is allowed to go back onto the show. He wins, and Latika was watching. Salim lets her escape to go find Jamal, then kills himself before his boss tortured and killed him
