I think you need to make it clear why going on the tv show will help find her again. Your second version hints at how his experiences relate but there's a bit of disconnect in my opinion.
A homeless teenager's life in the Mumbai slums help him through the rounds of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, but all he wants is TV exposure to help him find the girl he loves. ?(35 words)
It's understanding why he wants to go on the show that's crucial. It's a tricky one though as it's told through flashbacks and you don't discover his goal until much later (I could be wrong on this, it's been a while since I've watched it).
Thoughts on mine are welcome.
After losing the love of his life in the street of India, a homeless teenager playing all or nothing for the jackpot in ^Who wants to be a millionare?" is just one phonecall away from finding her.
Maybe this is a more accurate version:
After losing the love of his life, a homeless teenager participates in the TV show? Who wants to be a millionaire to find her again by remembering his own life in the slums of India.
