The title ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ has been written in bold and in a block colour of pink to immediately attract the attention of the audience. The two main characters shown on the film poster are Dev Patel and Freida Pinto and their names are shown at the bottom in small print. This is because they are not well-known and they are young. There are only a few images used on the poster because most of it is taken up by the writing. It shows the Dev Patel and Freida Pinto smiling while confetti is falling on them. Next to them is a question with a reference to ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire?’ which says: ‘What does it take to find a lost love?: A) Money, B) Luck, C) Brainpower or D) Destiny’ with Destiny highlighted, telling the audience one of the main themes of the film.
These images give the plot of the film away to the audience. No setting is given away on the poster. Different colours are used for the title, director, quotes from reviews and the confetti which reflects the different emotions that are evoked in the film. The quote “The Feel-Good Film of the Decade” followed with 5 stars has “Feel-Good” and “Decade” in a larger font to sell itself to the audience. Also, with the image of Dev Patel cheering furthers the sense of the film having a feel-good theme about it.
