These same people would be 'over the moon', had they been involved with the same project. I bet Amitabh's and Mahesh's opinion of Indian films are probably just the rubbish made in Bollywood. That's what Bollywood has been projecting as Indian all these years. It's wonderful that A.R.Rahman is contending for the Oscars, in a film that will be understandable for the entire world.
Rahman will definitely take at least 1 oscar. Rahman is an inspiration, of humility and hardwork. No worries what others think. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Mahima Sengupta <mahiya_is_mind_blow...@...> wrote: > > > Well there is going to be a lot of criticism from the industry ( lets consider it is 'sour grapes') for such people and not waste our energy on these things.

"If you see his work in the past, he has produced such a quality product that it shouldn't even take a minute to award this legend. His music in `Taal', `Rang De Basanti' or even `Lagaan', which was nominated for the Oscars, stood nowhere in eyes of the Oscars' Jury. However, when his music has a white connection, it comes to the priority list of the awards. Why? So is it that we Indians are incapable of making it to Oscars?

How much do we recognize them here? Some say that Slumdog shows india in poor light by depicting its ugly side..but when many filmmakers can use Sex or fantasize them to sell there movies, Why can't danny make a good entertaining movie full of optimism by showing slums in his movie..after all, we can't say ignore that fact.. > > For example, Nobody shouted about Madhur bhandarkar's Traffic signal...When you didnt have problem with it, then why with slumdog..just because it has british director and has been appreciated the world over? > > Mahesh bhatt says "So it is just like making hay while the sun shines for Danny Boyle, who is using the Indian effect for grabbing an Oscar" > > When danny and crew set out to make the movie, they didn't think of oscar, The movie was supposed to come on DVD's straight away..We need to be extremley thankfull to danny for involving Indian technicians in this movie especially in form of Rahman, Tandon and also many others..He wanted to make a good movie and he has succeded in it..Lets congratulate him instead of pointing fingers at him.. > > These were just my thoughts...Would also like to all your views too, > > Cheers, > Pavan > > btw, Read mahesh bhatt's entire interview here. > > http://www.realboll ywood.com/ news/2009/ 01/slumdog- is-hardly- the-best- work-of-rahman- anil-kapoor- or-irrfan- khan-mahesh- bhatt.html >
