JAI HO!! A. R. Rahman Wins Oscar for Slumdog Millionaire!
Music maestro A.R. Rahman has added another first in his cap. Rahman has become the first Indian composer to win an Oscar for his music in Slumdog Milllionaire. Rahman was nominated in the Best Original Score and the Best Original Song categories for the Oscars and he won both. He has won best original score along with lyricist Gulzar. Rahman has already received the Golden Globe Award for the same.
Another Indian documentary film by Megan Mylan, “Smile Pinki” won an Oscar in the Best Short Documentary category.
It seems the 24-hour news channels and Internet has really converted this planet into a small global village. Its not that we didn’t have great composers before Rehman or “Jai Ho” is Gulzar’s best creation. But these days we have better means of exposure, communication, transportation and event management companies. These things put concerned people at the right place at the right time with right people. A “JAI HO” for technocrats who make this connectivity possible!

These people have done the country proud. They might have also paved the way for others to follow, especially Indian directors.
As you have aptly and subtly put it, being at the right place, at the right time with the right people does matter.
There is this category of Original Music Score. Is there also a category of copied/inspired music score?

The theme music of the movie is a very good piece of music and in fact it is that very music that brought A.R.Rahman closer to the Oscars. Unfortunately very few have heard that music and understand the depth of it. Our culture has become too loudly to appreciate ‘Jai Ho’ and stay ignorant of the theme music. ‘Jai Ho’ does not stand anywhere near it. ‘Jai Ho’ got the oscar may be because it was the best of the songs available this year. But the theme music of Slumdog is what had bought the ticket to the Oscar in the field of music. It is the best theme music of the year. Do listen to it. ‘Jai Ho’ hardly qualifies to be even near to that.

Hi, Alka-Jai Ho,indeed-for the stars of SM,the maker of the documentary(I think that news tidbit went unnoticed) and ,as you said,for the technocrats who’ve made this world connectivity a reality!!:)

I said this before and I say it once more, “nothing can beat the sweetness of success earned in spite of the odds” – like low budget and the like. Time will only tell that this winning entry will remain in history forever. India is fast becoming an icon in cinema/ movie making. Congratulations.

Love is a lamp, while friendship is the shadow. When the lamp is off,you will find the shadow everywhere. Friend is who can give you strength at last.

Men love from overlooking while women love from looking up. If love is a mountain, then if men go up, more women they will see while women will see fewer men.

Happiness is not about being immortal nor having food or rights in one’s hand. It’s about having each tiny wish come true, or having something to eat when you are hungry or having someone’s love when you need love. ?
