The ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ star Dev patel and Freida screening in London.They might be denying the rumors of their romantic linkup, but just one look at the glowing couple exuding warmth and joy in each other’s company and there is no doubt about the fact that they do share something special between them. Still basking in the success of their Oscar-winning debut venture, ‘Slumdog Millionaire’, Dev Patel and Freida Pinto made an appearance on the stage before the Film4 Summer Screen screening of ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ at Somerset House in London.
The couple were so glued to each other all night that it seemed that they no longer cared anymore for keeping their romance under wraps. Insiders also have it that Dev has been paying visits to Freida’s London hotel. Freida is staying at The May Fair Hotel and, even though Dev doesn’t have a room there, he has been there constantly.

'Slumdog' is Critics' Choice, Wins 5 Awards

'Slumdog' is Critics' Choice, Wins 5 Awards'Slumdog Millionaire', the rags-to-riches story of a Mumbai slumdweller, has bagged five prestigious prizes including Best Composer award for Indian music maestro A R Rahman at Broadcast Film Critics Association's 14th annual Critics Choice Awards. British Director Danny Boyle's Indian drama was a big hit at the award ceremony last night.

It won Best Film, Best Director for Danny Boyle, Best Writer for Simon Beaufoy, Best Young Actor for Dev Patel and Best Composer for A R Rahman, the Los Angeles Times reported. The Broadcast Film Critics Association's 14th annual Critics Choice Awards (BFCA), which took place at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium last night, is the largest film critics organization, with more than 200 members in the US and Canada.

Based on the novel 'Q and A' by Indian diplomat Vikas Swarup, the film narrates the moving story of Jamaal, a Mumbai slumdweller and how he goes on to win over USD 20 million in the TV reality show 'Who Wants to Be A Millionaire? to get his love back. And like its magical underdog winner story, the film which was made on a small budget, has turned out a big winner by virtually dominating the pre-Oscar award scene in US. It is already being hailed as one of the best hopefuls at the Oscars next month.

The film has already earned a nomination by Writers Guild of America and American Society of Cinematographers. It was also nominated in the Best Picture category by the Producers Guild of America.
