* After exhausting a ChekhovsArmory's worth of life experiences to draw his answers from, after using up all of his three lifelines, Jamal honestly doesn't know the answer to the final 20-million-rupee question and '''makes a guess'''. And you know what? He still wins!

* Another meta example: This movie was nominated for ten Academy Awards, '''''and won eight of them.'''''
* Yet another: To date, this film is the highest grossing film of Fox Searchlight Pictures.
