Does Slumdog Millionaire have a Perfect Hollywood Ending?

A perfect Hollywood ending is an ending that: ties up loose ends; and ending where evil is defeated and where al enigma codes are answered.
By the time Slumdog Millionaire is at its conclusion, all three of these things have happened.

Firstly, despite the film's circular narrative and and jump cuts between different time periods, the film obviously ends at the "new-equilibrium" once you apply the film to Todorov's theory of Equilibrium, which is common amongst Hollywood endings as it often has a happy ending and things go back to normal.
By the end of the film, Jamal and Latika are reunited and are able to finally share a kiss. They can be together with all the money that Jamal has just won on "Who wants to be a Millionaire" and don't have to worry about being followed.

We see that Latika was freed due to Salim sacrificing himself so that Latika and Salim can get away. Salim dies, which doesn't appear to be part of a Perfect Hollywood ending, but Salim dies by killing Latika's "husband" Javed, who is seen as the major villain by the end of the film., which shows good defeating evil, one of the most promininet binary opposites Hollywood films.
The killing of Javed means that all loose ends throughout the film have been cleaned up. This is common in Hollywood endings as the film doesn't want to leave the audience asking questions about the film and the fate of events and characters. For example, if Javed wasn't killed, after the film, the audience would ask, "what happened to Javed" and the ending becomes a lot more uncertain and a lot more worrying, which wouldn't fit within a Hollywood ending.

Throughout, the film poses lots of questions that can't be answered until later on. These are called Enigma codes and they are all answered by the time the film is over. Some examples are: "Why did Jamal go on Who wants to be a millionaire?" and "What happened to Latika once Salim left her behind?". This is something you don't necessarily notice but works to give the film a perfect Hollywood ending, as all questions are answered, leaving and audience feeling satisfied with the ending.

The very end, has a dance scene at the end, which can appear to come out of nowhere, but actually pays homage to the Indian form of film, Bollywood, which has lots of extravagant dance scenes throughout its films. The dance scene also gives the film a quirky and unique ending to the film.

In conclusion, Slumdog Millionaire has a perfect Hollywood ending because not only does it feel like one, but shares the same features as all the Hollywood endings before it.
