LONDON: 'Slumdog Millionaire' the Mumbai based potboiler about a street urchin's struggle to find true love has become UK's most successful movie
of 2009.

The multiple Oscar winning film which took in 32 million pounds on the box office emerged on top of a list of 2009 superhits compiled by the Cinema Advertising Association, reported Mirror online.

Cinemas in the country are enjoying a seven-year high in ticket sales during the recession and the feel-good entertainer directed by Danny Boyle scored well with the audiences.

"It's terrific to see the success of the film continuing throughout 2009. Even when money is tight, it seems we are still dedicated to cinema," said Anna Cremin, CAA spokesperson.

Other big hits include sci-fi blockbuster, 'Monsters Vs Aliens, 'Star Trek' and the latest 'Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince' which took in 4.7million pounds on its opening night last week.

Hey Labda! Its a regular movie, but its possible you might like it but I'm used to movies liek these(slums etc)so I'm kinda sick of it besides IMHO I dont think the movie deserved all those awards. The script was soooo bad I was suprised it being a british movie et all.. The only good thiong abt the movie was the photography, that was nice, you might like the music too but I did not:)

"Ali Baba and 40 thieves" are now "Ali Baba and 30 thieves" ; 10 were laid off.
