Musician Prasanna of ‘Smile Pinki’ Says He’s Thrilled A Boston-based Indian composer says he is “thrilled” to be part of the Oscar-winning Megan Mylan directed short documentary ‘Smile Pinki’ for which he had to race against time to score music for it in just three days.
Ace Guitarist and composer Prasanna, who had worked with Oscar-winning music composer A R Rahman, was involved in the composition, performance, recording and mixing the music for ‘Smile Pinki’, the tale of a Uttar Pradesh girl and her fight against the social stigma of a cleft-lip. On A R Rahman’s Oscar success, Prasanna said he was “personally thrilled for him as a friend, as a colleague and as a collaborator. I knew that Rahman would get an Oscar for this even before the film became a commercial success.” He said he saw the film in the US in November end “way before all the hype happened. “Rahman was true to himself, did music that is what comes to him naturally, did not pander to Hollywood and at the end of it, one can see from the Hollywooder’s angle that his score was so refreshing in the midst of other Hollywood scores which haven’t changed one bit in the last 25 years or so.” Prasanna had worked in many Rahman’s movies, including ‘Lagaan’. On Resul Pookutty who won the Oscar for sound mixing, he said Resul was involved in editing the sound for one of his concert projects more than ten years ago.
