Danny Boyle hits the jackpot with Slumdog Millionaire

British director Danny Boyle may well hit the jackpot himself with his latest movie, Slumdog Millionaire.

The film is releasing in UK cinemas this weekend with high expectations from cinema critics and fans alike.

The story revolves around 18 year old Mumbai street kid, Jamal Malik (Dev Patel) who wins the jackpot on Kaun Banega Crorepati, the Hindi version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

Jamal had gone onto the game show not for money but to reach his missing girlfriend Latika (Freida Pinto). She is a devoted fan of the show and watches it without fail. But when he wins the jackpot, he is suspected of cheating.

The film stars Bollywood actors Anil Kapoor of the recently released Yuvvraaj fame and Irfan Khan who is presently waiting his release of Billu Barber.
