Slumdog is certainly a lively experience, and this 5.1 mix seems mostly up for the task. Score: 6 out of 10 Languages and Audio Audio choices are Hindi/English Dolby Digital 5.1, French Dolby Surround with English, Spanish and French subtitles. Perhaps the official DVD will resolve the error. That said, though, I was disappointed by the transfer's milky black levels, which flattened several scenes I vividly recall looking much cleaner and darker in the theaters. Beyond the intense compression issues, this transfer seems decently solid - representative of what I saw in theaters with a golden palette and crisp visuals.

As a "slumdog," though, there are those who believe that Jamal must have cheated to have come so far on the show, namely the police.Īs Jamal is relentlessly grilled by a no-nonsense police inspector and his brutal, porcine subordinate, the young man relates how he knew the answer to each question.
