Los Angeles: The Mumbai-based drama Slumdog Millionaire emerged as the favourite for the Oscars on Sunday night when it won four prizes at the Golden Globe Awards including Best Drama, Best Director, Best Score and Best Adapted Screenplay.
The film tells the story of a slum kid who participates in popular reality game show Kaun Banega Crorepati (Who Wants to be a Millionaire?) and wins Rs 2 crore in a bid to win his love interest back.
Slumdog is based on a novel by Indian diplomat Vikash Swarup and stars Bollywood actors Anil Kapoor and Irrfan Khan in lead among others.
Recently, the film's protagonist Dev Patel won the most promising newcomer award at the British Independent Film Awards as well as the Best Young Actor Award at the Critics' Choice Awards.
The film has been shot at various locations in Mumbai, including the railway Victoria Terminus, which was targeted by terrorists on November 26 last year.
