Is Slumdog millionaire a Hollywood ending?

Is Slum dog millionaire a Hollywood ending? Lets start with what a Hollywood ending is It's a conventional ending in a film, typically regarded as sentimental or simplistic and has a positive out come. Applying this to Slum dog millionaire In my opinion it is a holly wood ending because the ending couldn't of gone any better for example Jamal got with Latika, Salim made the audience forgive him for all the bad things he did because he let Latika out for his own life, Jamal proved he didn't cheat and Jamal won the game show. This clip I have attached shows everyone in the end dancing to some joyful music and when most people listen or think about music it makes them happy. I don't think if it was a bad outcome they would have really up beat joyful music.
