About this listen

 Vikas Swarup's spectacular debut novel, the inspiration for the award-winning film, opens in a jail cell in Mumbai, where Ram Mohammad Thomas is being held after correctly answering all 12 questions on India's biggest quiz show, Who Will Win a Billion?

It is hard to believe that a poor orphan who has never read a newspaper or gone to school could win such a contest. But through a series of exhilarating tales, Ram explains to his lawyer how episodes in his life gave him the answer to each question. In his warm-hearted tale lies all the comedy, tragedy, joy and pathos of modern India.

Hear the whole story behind the Academy Award-winning film Slumdog Millionaire!

Amazing!

I had heard of this movie and knew that it won multiple Academy Awards as well as other awards. So when I saw it was listed on Audible I had to download it and I absolutely, completely, and utterly enjoyed it.

The story is incredible and the narrator does a fantastic job. Although I never saw the movie I can totally understand why it won multiple awards.

Can't get enough

One of the best stories and exceptionally narrated books ever! I was smiling and was in tears and felt every emotion in between. Listening to this is truly a pleasure, and heartening!
