One Response to “Why did the God Rama appear in the alley during the movie Slumdog Millionaire?”

    Hey I starred your question because I literally just finished watching this movie with my mom and I had the same question. I was hoping someone more knowledgeable than me would answer this question first, but I thought I would put in my 2 cents too. So here goes: From what I understood of that whole part of the film, the men were coming to exterminate the muslims living in the slums, ie jamal and his family were Muslims. I dont think that the person in the alley was a literal figure of the deity, however I think it was someone’s attempt to disguise their child to convince the men coming to “cleanse” the slum that they were not Muslims. The men would not murder a child disguised as a Hindu god. It also was one of the memories that Jamal recalled to answer a question in Who wants to be a millionaire. Those are just my guesses and I don’t really know, but that’s how I interpreted the scene in the movie. hopefully someone who really understood can give you a better answer. I want to know too.
