 Academic criticism has also been extended to the underlying philosophy of the film, with its apparent ends-justify-means message.Many elements of the film, including the apparent redemption of Salim at the end of his life and the film's subjugation of the suffering of peripheral characters to the romantic aspirations of Jamal, are characteristic, say such critics, of a naïve, Providence-based vision of reality.The "Slumdog Millionaire" soundtrack was composed by A. R. Rahman, who planned the score for over two months and completed it in two weeks.
