!!!!--Three Rahman Songs in the hunt for an Oscar--!!!
That the Academy Awards are a pretigous event for artists all around the world is a known fact. It's also known that one of India's greatest artists, A.R. Rahman has recently been making international waves with his penchant for composing masterful music. Finally these two facts culminate into one great event. Recently, the Academy released a list of fifty-six songs that will be competing in the 79th Annual Academy Awards under the 'Best Original Song' category. And impressively, three of Rahman's tracks are featured on the list, including "Chan Chan" (Water), "Khalbali" (Rang De Basanti), and "Lukka Chuppi" (Rang De Basanti).
Let's hope Rahman's dedication pays off with an Oscar!
