No, it is based on a novel titled "Q and A" by the Indian author Vikas Swarup.
See the link below for more information on the film. Yes, it actually IS based on what happened in India a long time ago. The Hindus used to bat Muslims for what they believed (I am a Muslim). There wasn't actually a Jamel that all those stuff happened to him, that happened in a movie. 3rd answer: The second guy is a moron. The movie wasn't ABOUT what happened with the hindus or muslims. He's asking if a kid from the slums of India really did go on who wants to be a millionair and win. The whole thing with the hindus lasted for one scene, and was only referred a few times for the rest of the film. Anyway, I did hear someone once say that the director of the film claimed that it was based on a true story. Of course, that would mean that the book was also based on a true story, which is entirely possible.

∙ 14y agoIt is a screen adaptation of a novel called Q&A by Vikas Swarup, so no, it is not a true story, although it does depict very real aspects of life in India.

∙ 12y agoNot really. But its based on a true story.

∙ 14y agoIt is fiction. However, much of the content in the movie is highly plausible and can sadly be seen in the slums of India still.
