The mood of Slumdog Millionaire is uplifting, sentimental, and feel good. The plot centers around an orphan, a TV show, and destiny. It is a drama and independent movie. Stylistically, Slumdog Millionaire is epic. In approach, it is serious and realistic. It takes place, at least partly, in an urban ghetto. Slumdog Millionaire is set in India. It happens in the 1990s and in contemporary times. The musical score is Indian music. Slumdog Millionaire is based on a book.
