London, Jan 23 : Slumdog Millionaire, which has clinched ten Oscar nominations, has generated huge excitement and pride in the home of Bollywood - Mumbai.

It has seen the first ever triple Oscar nomination for an Indian.

Music composer A. R. Rahman has been nominated for Best Original Score and two of his numbers were shortlisted for Best Original Song.

Other nominations include for best motion picture, best director, best adapted screenplay, best film editing, best sound editing, best sound mixing and best cinematography.

Much appreciated "Slumdog Millionaire" has got another reason to be back in the news. But this time, for some wrong reason.

The Patna court sued Bollywood superstar Anil Kapoor and music director A R Rahman for allegedly calling slum inhabitants’ names in “Slumdog Millionaire”. The film is all set for an all-India release on January 23.

Subhash Ghai's 'Yuvvraaj' boasts of grandeur and extravagance, ambition and passion, but fails on the most important count - the script - which has clear signs of being incomplete as well as underdeveloped!

The shoddy film has the oft-repeated story of three brothers - Gyanesh (Anil Kapoor), Deven (Salman Khan), and Danny (Zayed Khan)
- and their billionaire father who leaves behind a family fortune to be shared after his death.

British director Danny Boyle's latest offering, 'Slumdog Millionaire' is a film the critics in the US are raving about. An adaptation from Indian diplomat Vikas Swarup's bestselling novel - 'Q & A' - the film is being predicted to go all the way to the Oscars!

Critical acclaim for the film, starring Anil Kapoor, Irrfan Khan and Dev Patel, has come from all over - from syndicated film critic Roger Ebert, whose reviews get published in 200 US newspapers, to mainstream dailies like the New York Times, The Washington Post and USA Today.

After the recent disclosure that Shah Rukh Khan is playing an autistic Muslim character in New York for Karan Johar's 'My Name Is Khan', comes the news that Anil Kapoor is also doing an autistic act for Subhash Ghai's 'Yuvvraaj'.

This is not for the first time that Anil Kapoor is playing an autistic character. Two decades back, in K Vishwanath's 'Eeshwar' Anil played the role of a 'slow' saintly man, who wins over a village widow.
