Another instance of when fate and freewill occur is when Salim gives his mobile phone to Latika, a choice, and then on the show Jamal calls thinking his brother would answer but Latika answers, fate.

Conclusion - I believe that everyone builds his or her own future. Jamal coming from the slums changed and made his own fate, all because he actively took part in changing his future and strived to lift himself from the slums into which he was once born in and have a happy ending with the beautiful girl and the money, but without Jamal’s belief that Latika was his destiny he would have never have made those choices leading him to the climax of his life. This movie just goes to show that everyone is responsible for their own your actions and whatever outcomes they produce.
