Habe leider nur die englische Version gefunden:

A poor, uneducated, young man by the name of Ram Mohammad Thomas enters a show called ‘Who Wants To Be A Billionaire’ to win the grand prize so he could free his love, who is a prostitute. Suddenly, Ram gets arrested with speculation of him cheating. But when is sat down and questioned by a lawyer he tells her how he knows all the answers, and ends up telling her his whole life story.

When Ram was younger he was raised by an English priest, who gave him his name, but also gets murdered by a couple of drug dealers. Leaving behind Ram and his Biological son who he has never met. He later moves into an poor condition, literally one room apartment with his best friend Salim, who dreams of becoming a Bollywood movie star.

Later on, a family including a father, mother and a daughter named Smita move in beside them. In that period of time Ram and Smita become very close and soon become “brother and sister”. Ram tries to help comfort Smita when her alcoholic father abuses her and her mother. Soon enough Ram decides enough is enough, and kills Smita’s father, leading to Ram and Salim running away.

While attending a school they get picked by a man who promises to give them a better life, but they later find out that it is all a scam, and the men torture the kids, and make them sing on the street to earn enough money to get dinner. Ram tries to convince Salim to go with runaway with him but Salim won’t go because he still believes that the men will give him his big break! So Ram runs away alone.
