SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE is now all set to see a release in India. However, for those who want Anil Kapoor to speak in Hindi, they won't be disappointed since this Hollywood flick has also been dubbed in Hindi and is now known as SLUMDOG CROREPATI.
"The film has been much in news during last couple of months that it has been traveling internationally. Not just is the film a huge money spinner overseas with one of the best ROI that has ever been seen, it has also generated immense curiosity in the Indian markets. Also, though the film revolves around the character played by Dev Patel, presence of Anil Kapoor and Irrfan Khan gives SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE further visibility for the Hindi speaking audience. Hence, it was decided to dub the film in Hindi", says an industry insider.

With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? How he proves his innocence is what forms the crux of this film.
