HOME | SCOOP!! & NEWS | HAPPENINGS 'Slumdog Millionaire' wins at Toronto Film Fest14th Sept 2008 20.00 IST By Agencies Danny Boyle’s film Slumdog Millionaire , set and shot in Mumbai, has won the Cadillac People's Choice Award at the 33rd Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). The film, directed by a British filmmaker Danny Boyle, is a heart-warming saga of an 18-year-old underdog who surmounts heavy odds to win the jackpot on the Indian version of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire", with eccentricities of Mumbai's slum as a backdrop. 
The TIFF awards were made public at the end of the 11-day festival, which closed with the screening of the Scottish period thriller, ‘Stone of Destiny’. Though produced with American and British money, ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ was shot entirely in Mumbai with actors like Anil Kapoor , Irrfan Khan , Mahesh Manjrekar and Sourabh Shukla , besides two newcomers, Dev Patel and Freida Pinto. One of the film's high point is the outstanding musical score by A R Rahman . India figured, albeit less directly, on TIFF's roll of honours in another significant category - the Best Canadian Short Film award. The 20-minute fiction film, ‘Block B’, directed by Chris Chong Chan Fui, a Canadian filmmaker of Malaysian origin, delves into the lives of a community of Indians residing in a building grid in Kuala Lumpur.
