Music industry today hailed as a 'great achievement for Indian music
' music maestro A R Rahman winning the Golden Globes for Best Musical score in
the film 'Slumdog Millionaire', making him the first Indian ever to win the
prestigious award.
Hailing A R Rahman for the Award, music director Raju Singh said,''the award is
a great achievement for India in general and the Indian music industry in
particular. It shows that Indian music has finally come to achieve a place of
importance on the Global scene.
Infact, Rahman winning the Golden Globes has opened up a lot of doors for other
Indian music directors to make a mark for themselves on the International music
scene.'' Talking to UNI, Raju Singh, who is currently doing the musical score
for 'Raaz-The Mystery Continues', said,''the way the Indians are today working
to match up to the standards of Hollywood films, we will soon make our presence
felt at the Global awards like the Golden Globes and even the prestigious
Oscars awards.
True, many of the Indian films are still not of the required standard and
quality but then even in Hollywood all films made are not of the top quality.''
Reacting to the award for Rahman, Music director Monty Sharma, who gave
melodious musical score for Sanjay Leela Bhansali last year, said,''it is a
great achievement indeed for India and Indian music. I have been and am a big
fan of A R Rahman. He genuinely deserves every bit of name, fame and success he
is getting. I wish him luck and best wishes from the bottom of my heart.''
Rahman created history when the song 'Jai Ho', composed by him for the Anil
Kapoor-Irrfan Khan starrer with lyrics by Gulzar, fetched him trophy for the
Best Musical score at the awards ceremony last night.
The award, the first ever for an Indian at the Golden Globe, has raised India's
hopes to bring home awards at the Oscars, to be held in the US next month.
Directed by Hollywood director Danny Boyle and based on a novel by Indian
diplomat Vikash Swarup, 'Slumdog Millionaire' is the rags-to-riches' story of a
poor uneducated boy who goes on to win a jackpot on the game show 'Kaun Banega
Crorepati'.
The film, which features Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor as the game show host, has
bagged four Golden Globe awards including the Best Original Music Score for
Rahman, Best Screenplay for Simon Beaufoy and Best Director for Danny Boyle.
The Golden Globe award for Rahman is the first ever for an Indian at the
prestigious awards. In this sense, it is definitely a sign of Indian films
coming of age on the international arena.
Earlier too, Indian films like 'Devdas' and 'Rang De Basanti' had been
nominated for the Golden Globe awards, but they did not manage to win any award.
The win at the Golden Globe makes 'Slumdog Millionare' a strong contender for
winning a nomination at the prestigious Oscars awards, thus raising hopes of an
Indian finally bringing home the coveted Oscar, something which has eluded
India so far.
In over 50 year's history, of Indian cinema only three films have managed to
bag the coveted Oscar nominations - Mira Nair's 'Salaam Bombay', Mehboob Khan's
'Mother India' and Ashutosh Gowarikar's 'Lagaan'.
