After winning the top honour from the Directors Guild of America (DGA) for the Mumbai-set hit film Slumdog Millionaire, British Director Danny Boyle appears to be on the inside track for an Oscar at the Academy Awards ceremony Feb 22.

The name Danny Boyle floated into our collective consciousness after his film Slumdog Millionaire swept this year's Golden Globe Awards. And if the media is to be believed, the film might just get 'us' an Oscar too!

Oscar winning Slumdog Millionaire's child actors Rubina Ali and Azharuddin Mohammad Ismail have bagged their second film. Only this time it's a Bollywood flick and one where they play VIPs and not 'Slumdogs'.

A man, who claims to fight for the rights of slum dwellers, has taken the Indian artistes of the acclaimed film Slumdog Millionaire to court, contending that their sensibilities have been offended by the movie title that he found abusive of people who live in slums.

Following its sweep of the Golden Globe Awards, British director Danny Boyle's hit film Slumdog Millionaire has jumped back into the North American Top Ten with a 56 per cent increase in its weekend sales.

Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan has denied criticizing the makers of ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ for projecting India as "third world dirty underbelly."

Rags-to-riches story Slumdog Millionaire (Special) continued its fairy-tale journey by winning seven prizes including Best Picture at the British Academy Film Awards and sealing its place as favourite for the Oscars later this month.
