Q&A Slumdog millionaire blog #2

     In the first chapter of Slumdog millionaire called "The Death of a Hero" Ram Mohammad Thomas talks about  his story at the theatres with his friend named Salim. Salim is Ram's best friend who is crazy for Hindi films, but mostly ones that feature Armaan Ali who is an action hero of the film that they are watching. I find this chapter amusing because of how much Salim talks about Armaan Ali and it seems like he daydreams about him whenever he watches one of his films. Salim even compliments Armaan by telling Ram that Armaan is handsome and says that he would comfort Armaan in his arms when he thinks he has lost everything. But the weird part was when an old man with a beard decides to show up and sit right beside Salim and rubs his jeans sexually during some sad scenes of the film. I found that really awkward, especially for Salim because he didn't thought the old man was just suffering from tremors on his leg until he tried to sexually harass him. There were some harsh content in this chapter but I would probably do the same if I were in Salim's shoes. As Ram was telling the story about that day to Smita, it shows how he answered the first question correctly in the Who Will Be a Billionaire quiz. The first question of the quiz was "Can you name the blockbusting film in which Armaan Ali starred with Priya Kapoor for the very first time. Was it a) Fire, b) Hero, c) Hunger, or d) Betrayal?" Ram answered D. Betrayal and was correct, winning one thousand rupees so far.
