The music of WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE has been featured in the eight times Academy Award winning movie, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE.

'Driven by fantastic energy and a torrent of vivid images of India old and new, “Slumdog Millionaire” is a blast.'

'At heart, this is Hollywood melodrama, Capra’s wish-fulfilment parlayed into a new world (that Jamal is an Indian Muslim rarely impacts). The film, fashion be damned, is just thrillingly upbeat.'
Empire

'a hugely important film in contemporary cinema'
