From the predictions by several websites, ARR seems to be in the running for both best background score and original song category so to say the least : We are just waiting to hear official confirmation

pArthen. 2 nAL use paNNiNEn. No Comments. Zimblee waste. Go for SE G900 which comes almost around the same price with a better 5 mpx camera. Far better in multimedia and mobile internet/ office usage. And on the design department, forget even about the mobile: just the stylus of 5800 is pathetic. Forget it, I mean forget it.

http://movies.indiainfo.com/2009/01/..._and_crew.htmlWhat made you zero in on A.R.Rahman and how did his music carry the film forward?
Danny Boyle: I had the privilege of working with that man 'A.R.Rahman'! I've been travelling the U.S and the U.K and telling people how famous this man is. He has a tiny little studio in Tufnell Park in London. We go out in lunch time to get a break from the music. We are walking along the road and somebody would spot him, ignore the traffic, come near him and tell him - "Is that you? Are you A.R.Rahman?" The joy of people here in music is something I love more than anything. I used to have a driver named Harish who didn't speak much English but used to play all the Hindi songs in my car. It was him who introduced me to all the Bollywood songs. Slumdog Millionaire is a very small film but because of A.R.Rahman, Anil Kapoor and Irrfan Khan, the film boasts of a biggie. A.R created this fusion of hip-hop, disco, RnB and the world music which was phenomenal. One of the biggest buzzes for me was that last week, his album went to number 1 in the iTunes album chart. That's not the soundtrack chart, it's an album chart
. Normally, you'd find Beyonce and Rihana to be there. A.R.Rahman was up there, could you believe it? I'd also like to thank Shekhar Kapoor for his contribution towards the film.
Venkiraja : thanks a bunch

I was kinda expecting two nominations but three nominations is
And the icing in the cake is that his chances for getting award for best song is very high. I thought Wrestler's song will be the main competitor, but here it is just Wall E song

some may argue that the song is not worthy - but the music director is double worthy to win an oscar both as a music director and as a person.
couldnt imagnie how many oscars arr would have bagged for his better works if they had had a international exposure like this album!

Unfair words!!!
I'm proud that he has been nominated
I'm sure he would win it...
one doubt:
Do they consider Indian movies for Best Original Song / BGM score category? Or only hollywood movies? (I know that there is a Category for Best Foreign Language Movie.)

Watching the man on the dais, receiving the award and above all, the way he conducts himself at all times (and especially in situations like these) will surely give a lump in one's throat, whoever one may owe his/her "allegiance" to. I refuse to believe you are/will be any different

Rahman reacts to the Oscar Nominations
January 22, 2009
In a much awaited and expected announcement, Slumdog Millionaire has got a whopping10 nominations at this year’s Academy Awards. Only ‘The curious case of Benjamin Button’ has more nominations with 13 under its belt. The nominations for Slumdog Millionaire include Best Movie, Best Director (Danny Boyle), Best Adapted Screenplay (Simon
A R Rahman
Beaufoy), Best Cinematography (Anthony Dod Mantle), Best Editing (Chris Dickens), Best Sound Editing (Tom Sayers), Best Sound Mixing (Ian Tapp, Richard Pryke and Resul Pookutty).
A.R.Rahman has been nominated in two categories; Best Original Score and Best Original Song. The original song category has only 3 nominees and two of them are from Slumdog Millionaire (O saya and Jaye Ho), the third being from the animated film Wall E.
A.R.Rahman reacting to the news on being nominated for Oscar said,
"I feel really good. I am on top of the world. I thank God Almighty, all my fans and the musicians who have worked with me. It's an energy booster for all the people associated with the movie."
Danny Boyle talking about the nominations said, "It's incredible, we see Hollywood and Bollywood moving closer. A.R.Rahman couldn't come to the meet. He is busy doing Delhi 6. Can you believe it?"
An excited Anil Kapoor said, "It's a movie about Indians. It's a movie about us. I am very happy for A.R.Rahman. He is a genius. This movie is also going to do a lot of good to all the small technicians and actors who have worked very, very hard. It's their triumph"
With this, the hopes of a first Oscar for India have hit an all time high, the victory seems very much possible. So, keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best. The D-day is the 22nd of February. Let the Oscar come to India.

Bala: at the "kadamai uNarchchi" comment!
I believe Irrfan or Saurabh Shukla wouldn't have been half the disgrace that Anil Kapoor was. But the Oscars are a far more exclusive event than the Globes. The Globes are almost a social mixer type of event. Actors and Directors walk around drink, talk, eat and iron out new film deals. Originally Posted by crajkumar_be

Slumdog Millionaire premieres in Mumbai
Critically-acclaimed Slumdog Millionaire premiered in the film's home city of Mumbai to a huge media fanfare and numerous Bollywood stars overnight, shortly after it earned 10 Oscar nominations.
The rags-to-riches story about a boy from one of the city's teeming slums competing on a TV game show was nominated in three key categories - best director, best adapted screenplay and best picture.
"The city opened its arms to us. I don't want anyone to miss out on the debt of gratitude that we owe to this city," director Danny Boyle told reporters ahead of the premiere.
A crush of media greeted Bollywood stars and production company executives on the red carpet amid the sound of traditional Indian drums.
The entire cast and crew danced down the walkway.
Slumdog Millionaire already won four honours at Hollywood's Golden Globes this month, including best drama, and has been nominated for 11 BAFTA awards.
Meanwhile, the film's famed music composer, AR Rahman, picked up three Oscar nominations.
"It's incredible. Three for AR [Rahman] - you can't beat that," Boyle said.
But despite the international plaudits, Boyle arrived in Mumbai earlier this week to accusations by some parts of the Indian media that his film is voyeuristic "poverty porn."
Boyle, known for his unconventional storytelling in films like Trainspotting, has been accused of romanticising slums, begging rackets, prostitution and crime.
The director says he was just trying to capture Mumbai's "lust for life."
Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan, who stars in Slumdog, on Thursday (local time) said the controversy might dissuade foreign filmmakers from coming to India.
"It creates a wrong atmosphere. There are countries who give incentives to filmmakers because when a film comes to a country, it brings money, it brings jobs," he told Reuters.

MUMBAI: A R Rahman today became the first Indian to get three Oscar nominations for his score in British-Indian movie Slumdog Millionaire which also got the nod in seven other categories, including best film and best director. The film is being released in India tomorrow.
Rahman was nominated for best original score while both Jai Ho and O Saya were shortlisted for the best original song. The film also won nominations in cinematography, sound mixing, sound editing and film editing.
With 13 nominations, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, based on a F Scott Fitzgerald short story with Brad Pitt playing a man who ages backward, led the field. Apart from best actor for Pitt and best director for David Fincher, Benjamin Button has also picked best supporting actress nomination for Taraji P Henson and best adapted screenplay for Eric Roth and Robin Swicord. Batman sequel The Dark Knight and the gay-rights saga Milk each got eight nominations.
Benjamin Button, Slumdog Millionaire and Milk will vie for best picture at the 81st annual Academy Awards on February 22 alongside The Reader and Frost/Nixon. All five also have best director nominations. Australian actor Heath Ledger, who died of an overdose of prescription pills exactly a year ago, was nominated for his supporting role as the villainous Joker in The Dark Knight.
The Indian hero among the nominees is Rahman, with three nominations — one for original score and two for original songs (Jai Ho and O Saya). “I’m happy to have done India proud. But I’m happier for Boyle, Resul (Pookutty) and every Indian crew member involved in the project. It’s all a team work. I hope we will bring the Oscars home,” Rahman told The Indian Express by phone. “I’m surprised at the same time because I didn’t expect three nominations. Credit should go to Gulzarji who wrote Jai Ho.”
Only two Indians have won the Oscar till date — Bhanu Athaiya (for costume design in “Gandhi”) and Satyajit Ray who was given an honourary Oscar for his contribution to films. In 1982, “Gandhi” was nominated for 11 and won eight.
The Slumdog Millionaire nominations, on the eve of the Indian release of the film, turned its star-studded premiere today at the Imax theatre in Mumbai into a celebration party. A beaming Boyle, introduced, raved about and rooted for his cast and crew, especially the six young actors and his co-director Loveleen Tandan.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.—Thomas Newman and A.R. Rahman received multiple nominations as the 81st annual Oscar nominations were announced Thursday, Jan. 22, by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Newman received his ninth and 10th nods as composer and songwriter for the animated film WALL-E. Rahman, a major film composer in India receiving his first large-scale exposure in the U.S., received three nominations (two for song, one for score) for his work on the equally popular Slumdog Millionaire.
Also in the score category, French composer Alexandre Desplat received his second nomination for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which led all films with 13 nominations. James Newton Howard was nominated for an eighth time for his score for Defiance, while Danny Elfman received his fourth Oscar nod for Milk.
The Dark Knight – perhaps the year's most talked-about score, both for its collaboration by high-profile composers Hans Zimmer and Howard and for its initial disqualification and then reinstatement by the music-branch executive committee – failed to secure a music nomination.
For the third time in Academy history, only three songs were nominated: "Down to Earth" from WALL-E by first-time nominee Peter Gabriel and Newman; and the two songs from Slumdog Millionaire: "Jai Ho" by Rahman and Indian poet Gulzar, and "O Saya" by Rahman and British songwriter Maya Arulpragasam (M.I.A.). Just three songs were nominated in 1988 and 2005.
The surprise in the song category was the failure of Bruce Springsteen's song for The Wrestler to be nominated. Springsteen's song has already won honors from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and the Broadcast Film Critics Association.
Whoever wins in either category on Feb. 22, it will be a first. None of this year's music nominees has ever won an Academy Award.

I did not think it will get there. God has been really kind. And I have to really thank the prayers of all the people and their good wishes.”

Slumdog Millionaire grabs 10 Oscar nominations
Indian filmmakers are yet to crack it despite all the talk of Bollywoods increasing global reach, but 27 years after Richard Attenborough did it with Gandhi, it has taken yet another British cinematic genius to make an Indian film that has created a storm at the Oscar nominations.
Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire is officially a British film, but if Indians are rejoicing at its grand critical and box-office success despite the whimper of protest about its “poverty tourism” aspect, it is only because it is a completely Indian story in its soul.
The ten nominations for Slumdog are just one short of Gandhi’s 11, and it will be on February 22 that the world will know if it can surpass Gandhi’s eight wins in 1982, but Boyle’s film is one that has brought immense cheer for the Indian film industry for more reasons than one.
Quite justifiably, it is the three nominations to musical genius A R Rahman that have led to the biggest cheer. But in reality, several more Indian names could actually become Oscar winners on the D-day. For, there is the sensitive poet Gulzar who has been nominated for his lyrics for Jai Ho in the best song category along with Rahman, and Maya Arulpragasam whose name is there for the lyrics of the best song nominee O Saya which she has written jointly with Rahman.
Resul Pookutty, the brilliant sound artiste from Kerala who has made Mumbai his work base, has also got a nomination jointly with Ian Tapp and Richard Pryke for sound mixing.
If all of them manage to win, it could be a rich haul for India, which till now has had to remain content with only one major Oscar win (Bhanu Athaiya for Best Costume Design in Gandhi) apart from the Honorary Oscar to Satyajit Ray.
That the Oscar nominations have been announced just a day before 400 prints of the film are released in 85 centres all across India in both its original and Hindi dubbed versions, is just a nice coincidence for those involved with the film.
And they are not only the ones who have got the nominations, but also the many Indian faces in the cast, from stars like Anil Kapoor to powerful actors like Irrfan Khan, from debutants Dev Patel of Britain and Frieda Pinto of India to the brilliant child actors who are the real stars of the film, apart from co-director Loveleen Tandon. In a sense it is a real ensemble film that is all about the triumph of the human spirit against all odds, and the Indian nominees would also be hoping for a similar triumph against tough contest on the D-day.
On February 22, one billion pairs of Indian eyes will be riveted on the television screens, hoping that Slumdog Millionaire will be able to do what Mother India, Salaam Bombay and Lagaan could not do – bring home the statuette!

CHENNAI: When A.R. Rahman bagged three Oscar nominations on Thursday, one for original score and two in the original song category — ‘Jai Ho,’ with lyricist Gulzar and ‘O saya’ with lyricist Maya Arulpragasam — it was a dream come true for India.
“We have been waiting for this for nearly 80 years, haven’t we?” I am so elated,” A.R. Rahman told The Hindu on Thursday, soon after the nominations were declared.
Another nomination for the film in the sound mixing category has added to his joy. “I am really happy. I hope we get at least one award,” he said with a chuckle.
“It is an amazing moment. I cannot wait for the announcement,” he said, one month ahead of the Oscars night when Indians may have a chance to hold one or more of the coveted statuettes.
These are among the 10 nominations that the Golden Globe-winning Slumdog Millionaire got.
“On top of the world”
PTI reports from Mumbai:
Mr. Rahman, who felt on “top of the world,” said he was getting offers from Hollywood producers to provide the musical score for their films.
He did not give details of the nature of offers, saying Hollywood producers had been making several telephone calls to him ever since his musical score for Slumdog Millionaire won the Golden Globe award.
Pressed by journalists about the offers, Mr. Rahman said he could not reveal anything due to confidentialities involved but would talk about it at an appropriate time.
Asked whether the Indian film industry would lose him to Hollywood, Mr. Rahman quipped, “I will do a balancing act.”
The music wizard said representing India at the Oscar nomination was a great energy booster.
“I did not think it will get there. God has been really kind. And I have to really thank the prayers of all the people and their good wishes.”
“Something good is happening and I am really happy about it,” he said. “There is a kind of optimism in the film and so much of positive vibes as you leave the movie hall.”
Mr. Rahman said the inspiration for his musical score which had won him international recognition came from the film Slumdog Millionaire itself.
He said he did not think that he had even one per cent chance to hit the international stage when he made his debut in the Indian film industry. The fact that the film got 10 Oscar nominations was a “nice lesson” on how honours could be achieved through collaboration.
He acknowledged lyricist Gulzar’s contribution to his musical score.
Mr. Rahman said he felt good that the music of the film was well-received in the West. “These are good, positive vibes.”
He said there was no special celebration for him. “I am busy mixing the music of Delhi 6. I am a musician and I have commitments to keep.”
The composer said Slumdog Millionaire was his favourite film as it portrayed reality with a sense of optimism.
‘A landmark moment’
Ziya Us Salam reports from Jaipur:
The Hindi film industry is overjoyed at the nominations, with the reactions ranging from a “landmark moment” to a “very happy occasion” for the country.
Hours before the nominations were announced, popular author Vikas Swarup on whose book, ‘Q & A,’ the screenplay of Danny Boyle’s film is based, said half in jest, “The film has won four Golden Globes. It will now be nominated for three Oscars.” The words, spoken at the ongoing Jaipur Literature Festival, proved prophetic.
Noted lyricist Gulzar, who has written songs for the film, said: “I am very happy. It is a very significant occasion. Any nomination for an award as prestigious as the Oscar opens new avenues for Indian artistes.”
Refusing to speculate whether the film will finally win any award, he said: “The nomination itself in three categeories is worthy of praise.”
Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt felt the industry has something to cheer about, and it brings the world’s attention to our films, even if ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ is not technically an Indian film.”
Noted actor Irrfan, who has also done an important role in the film, said: “The Oscars are just a shot away.” Hailing Boyle for his work, he felt only a foreigner could have made the film with the “dispassionate intensity” that the subject needed.
Mahesh Manjrekar, who has a cameo in the film, said: “I’m feeling on top of the world. The film has a certain x-factor which is difficult to describe, but worked well for the film.”

After becoming the first Indian to win the Golden Globe, music maestro Allah Rakha Rahman added yet another feather in his cap blazing a new trail getting a triple Oscar nomination in two categories, an unprecedented feat for any Indian.
The 43-year-old music wizard, nicknamed 'Mozart of Madras', who has enthralled audience in the country and abroad with his heartwarming symphonies finally got his due recognition on the international stage with his composition in the movie Slumdog Millionaire.
Rahman, born in Chennai on January 6, 1966, was nominated in the Best Original Score and Best Original Song categories for two of his compositions -- Jai Ho and O Saya.
Born as a Hindu, he changed his name to Allah Rakha Rahman from S Dileep Kumar after his family converted to Islam in 1970s. The music genius first came to limelight with his music for a Bombay Dyeing ad in 1980s, which became very popular.
In 1992, he was approached by film director Mani Ratnam to compose the score and soundtrack for his Tamil film Roja. The music of the film was a refreshing change from the run-of-the-mill renditions and gave Rahman his maiden Best Music Director trophy at the National Film Awards, the first time ever by a debutante film composer.
Rahman entered the Hindi film industry with Rangeela, directed by Ram Gopal Varma. The music of the film became a rage and the genius continued to give some brilliant compositions for films such as Bombay, Dil Se, Taal, Lagaan and Rang De Basanti, among others.
The film has been nominated in the following categories: Achievement in Cinematography - Anthony Dod Mantle, Achievement in Direction - Danny Boyle, Achievement in Film Editing - Chris Dickens, Achievement in Music (Original Score) - A R Rahman, Achievement in Music (Original Song) (Two Nominations) - A R Rahman, Best Motion Picture - Christian Colson, Achievement in Sound Editing - Tom Sayers, Achievement in Sound Mixing - Ian Tapp, Richard Pryke, Resul Pookutty and Adapted Screenplay - Simon Beaufoy.
What made Rahman's music click with the listeners was the refreshing use of percussions, sound and melody, most of which were inspired from Indian folk music.
His 1998 superhit composition Chaiyya Chaiyya, which was deeply rooted in Sufi mysticism, became a rage among Indians and is still considered one of the best compositions of the musician.
Rahman gradually became a known face on the international platform and in 1999 he performed with king of pop, Michael Jackson in Munich for 'Michael Jackson and Friends Concert'.
In 2002, he gave the music for his maiden stage production Bombay Dreams directed by legendary musical theatre composer, Andrew Lloyd Webber. Rahman's music was also a hit from London's West End to New York's Broadway.
In 2004, with Finnish folk music band Varttina, he composed the music for The Lord of the Rings theatre production.
Rahman's composition Jai Ho for British director Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire, earned him the Critics Choice Award for Best Composer in 2008 and the Golden Globe in the category of Best Original Score.
A four-time National Award winner, Rahman was honoured with the Padma Shri and received six awards at the Tamil Nadu State Film Awards, besides 11 awards for his scores at the Filmfare and Filmfare Awards South each.
In 2006, he received an honourary award from Stanford University for his contributions to global music. In 1995, he also received the Mauritius National Award and a Malaysian Award.
The music director, who is known for his humble demeanor, gave a new definition to patriotism with his modern rendition of Vande Mataram. His latest track Jiya Se Jiya is another attempt to send the message of peace and love through music.
In 2008, he scored soundtracks for Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, Yuvvraaj, Ghajini, and Slumdog Millionaire and will continue to rule million hearts with his music for the upcoming films such as Dilli 6 and Blue.

A.R. Rahman’s absence at the Slumdog preview
January 23, 2009
A.R. Rahman’s absence was noticeable at the preview of Slumdog Millionaire, which was held at the Satyam’s Six Degree screen. Sources close to the maestro say that he was busy talking to the press people over his nomination to the Oscar Awards and hence could not make it to the preview.
A.R. Rahman
The entire area surrounding the Satyam Theatre complex was swarmed with film personalities as many had made it a point to watch the preview of Slumdog Millionaire. The film was nominated for 10 Oscars and had already bagged three Golden Globe Awards.
Those who made it to the event include A.R. Rahman’s mother, wife, daughter and sister, Narain and his wife, Kushbhu, Sundar C, Silambarasan, P.C. Sriram, Suhasini Maniratnam and Y.G. Mahendran among others.

SUBHASH K JHA Times News Network
Hours after the announcement of three Oscar nominations one for Original Score and two for Best Songs, Jai ho... and O Saya..., the usually reticent AR Rahman sounds more excited than ever. Says Rahman, “It’s a dream-come-true not as much for me as for my wife. She’d wake up in the middle of the night and say, ‘I want you to win an Oscar’. And I’d just smile. Today, my wife’s dream seems a possibility.” During the nomination he was at home in Chennai. He says, “My wife and children jumped with joy when they heard the announcement. It’s my mother’s prayers and support that are bearing fruit now.”
Rahman was supposed to be in Mumbai for the premiere of Slumdog Crorepati when news of the Oscar nominations came in. “I couldn’t attend it because of work in Chennai. It happened for the best, otherwise I wouldn’t be here with my family to share this moment,” adds Rahman. He says he wasn’t too sure of the Oscar nominations even after he won the Golden Globe. “I know the Golden Globes are precursors to the Oscars. But sometimes it works in reverse. Thank God, it went right for me,” says the musician. The Oscar ceremony is to be held on Feb 22. “I’ve other business to attend to, so, I’ll be leaving for LA very shortly. And yes, my wife will accompany me to the Oscars. She dreamt this dream for me,” says Rahman. He says, “It’s a moment of pride not just for me. Pray that I bring home the Oscar.”

'Rahman will win the Oscars' – Suhasini Mani Ratna
IndiaGlitz [Saturday, January 24, 2009]
Suhasini Mani Ratnam is thrilled and happy over A R Rahman's nominations for the Oscars. Obviously, because she had seen him at very close quarters since the 'Mozart of Madras' made his debut in 'Roja'. Also, the prolific music composer was introduced by no lesser a person than Mani Ratnam himself.
Suhasini Mani Ratnam expressed confidence that Rahman's work in 'Slumdog Millionaire' has everything in it to claim the Oscars. 'It's quite a fresh composition, which is soothing and very Indian. It is a great work by Rahman. I was expecting the Oscar to come Rahman's way long before. I though his work in Shekar Kapoor's 'Elizabeth 2' was so stunning that he would win it. But the moment seems to have arrived with 'Slumdog Millionaire'.
Several prominent film personalities including music composer Srikanth Deva, director Radha Mohan, actor Prakashraj, director Ameer and actress Trisha expressed confidence that Rahman would make India proud by bringing home the coveted Oscar Awards.

CHENNAI: The Tamil film fraternity is celebrating A R Rahman's nominations to the Oscars with so much joy and pride.
That he belongs to Bollywood as well, or got nominated for the Academy Awards for an English film, is no reason to not be bashful.
The 'Mozart of Madras' might have courted fame with international collaborations, Bollywood flicks and solos, but Chennai has welcomed him with arms wide open every time he returned with a Tamil cinema, commanding a grip over Chennaiites like no other musician has.
Slumdog Millionaire, a film with a relatively unknown cast, by a filmmaker who still remains obscure to many, has stepped in to the limelight, thanks to Rahman's musical score. The movie, already available on DVD, and the music selling like hot cakes, are ample proof for it. And his Oscar nomination, 16 years after he first took on his magical keyboard to play Chinna Chinna Aasai, gives the entire industry reason to celebrate.
Actor Madhavan feels it a time of sheer happiness.
"We're making headlines not just as a growing economy now, but as people with creative brilliance. It augurs so well for cinema as a whole too," says the actor.
The sixteen years of incessant hard work put in by the musician, makes him the most likely candidate for an Oscar, claims lyricist Vairamuthu.
"This honour hasn't come to him overnight. It is the result of enormous toil by the youngster," he quips.
Vairamuthu, who has been a great part of Rahman's journey from his first song in Roja, thinks Rahman deserves it and is so sure that he will get it.

me and bala watched SDM in Sathyam this morning.........its a typical bollywood masala film with glaring logical loop holes and very ordinary writing - both dialogues and characterisation............but as a masala movie, it worked completely for me..........the triumph of human spirit was shown exceedingly well in last 20 mins........jai ho song in climax just lifted the spirits......o saya was very very haunting and camerawork was just brilliant.........we, indian movies, seriously have a long way to go, in terms of technical brilliance ..........latika's theme and liquid dance were highpoints of the movie........technically, the movie was just brilliant - camera, lighting, sound, music ofcourse ....
oscar nomination for SDM makes me even prouder now, since its a tribute to our own Bollywood type movie making esp, climax scenes or lead up to it reminded me of shankar movies .......finally west acknowledges our movie making style
people just clapped in the theater after climax scene - they were stunned............

While we are all glad with AR Rahman receiving the Oscar nominations for Slumdog Millionaire, here’s the icing on the cake.
Rahman and singer Sukhwinder Singh have been invited to open the eighty first Annual Academy Awards night, scheduled for Feb 21 at Los Angeles. The duo will perform their super-hit number ‘Jai ho’.
Giving us the great news, our source, who is close to Sukhwinder, says, “Rahman had called up Sukhwinder, telling him that the authorities of the Academy Awards had asked him to open the ceremony.
Rahman asked Sukhwinder to prepare himself for another live performance. Nothing new in that, except, this time, it would be for the Oscars! Gulzar, who has written the song, is likely to make an appearance on the awards night too.”
Adds the source, “Rahman will work on the song and modify it to set it in sync with the live orchestra and make it suitable for a stage presentation. Rahman and Sukhwinder are looking forward to it.
Sukhwinder is of the opinion that the Slumdog nominations have raised India’s bar in the international market and hence, they would now have to be extra cautious about the quality of work they deliver.”
An ecstatic Sukhwinder tells us, “I’m waiting for an official confirmation, till then I cannot comment on it.”

http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/t...cle/44562.htmlRahman to sizzle Oscar night
IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, January 27, 2009]
A. R. Rahman has received an invitation he would remember for a very long time to come. The music wizard will be opening Oscar Night on February 22 with a song that features in 'Slumdog Millionaire' 'Jai Ho'. Singer Sukhwinder Singh would accompany Rahman on stage.
Latest reports reveal that Rahman is altering the song a bit so that it will be in perfect synchronization with the live orchestration that will accompany his song. The musician as already reported has been nominated in three categories and is considered a front runner to win the highly coveted Oscar. 'Jai Ho' and 'O Saaya' have been nominated in the original song category and Rahman has been nominated in the Best original Score category.
Noted lyricist Gulzar is also expected to be present with his team when the famous ceremony unfolds.
Rahman being invited to perform is widely considered as a giant leap by an Indian musician especially because the performance is expected to enthrall global audiences. Indian music would most certainly be on the most desirable list among worldwide music lovers.
Now wouldn't that make a billion hearts glad?

Just heard A.R.Rahman interviewed by Terry Gross on NPR. More insight in about 20 mins of interview time than most of the Indian Media. Some specific portions from the interview I remember: [only transcribed so may not be exact words]
ON SCORING FOR FILMS
"When I did RojA most Indian film music was very traditional... Indian folk or classical based. It was very regional. A lot of young people were listening to their own music . bands.. arabic music. They were moving away from film music. So I thought why not compose music like what they were listening to in films..."
ON MUSIC
"When I won the National award for RojA a lot of people wondered if it wasnt too early. [He earlier mentioned how the National award was usually awarded to people who were very experienced... 'almost dying' in his words] But music to me is not about motivation or a race of sorts. It is like cooking a meal and watching the satisfaction of the people eating.."
ON SLUMDOG'S MUSIC
"Danny emailed me the script but I didnt read it, but later he send me a DVD with a rough cut and I was really excited. I sent him some suggestions over email and he replies with feedback. You know..I like 1, 2 and 4 etc... And like that we scored the whole movie and edited it in 3 weeks"
Terry Gross (incredulously): "Three Weeks?"
ARR: "Yes 3 weeks. At home there are people who would score for 25 films in a year. Normally I take my time and enjoy the process. I was initially considered too slow. A lot of people said I wouldnt survive because I took too long.."
Terry Gross then questioned him on Mausam/Escape and the usage of Sitar indicating she had actually given the album a close listen. Rahman confesses that it is one of his favorite tracks. Then she asks about performing Oscar night and if the songs are only for studio or if they can be performed on stage:
"Its possible with some electronic loops. When I normally perform songs from my film repertoire we have about 80 people on stage with dancers and classical instruments. So I would need to get permission. Lets see.."
Terry Gross (laughing): " I dont think they are going to say no to you"

Haven't seen the film yet, PR. The tired expression was for Charu's high-handed talk despite being completely oblivious to several, several films from Hindi cinema. What he has described here is in many ways a cliche in Hindi cinema (and to some extent, Indian cinema as a whole). That is to say, one can see this kind of delineation in so many films, and nowadays, it needs a remarkably good filmmaker to engage with these motifs in an actually thought-provoking manner. Let's not even go as far as 'Ardh Satya.' Boyle himself has said that he drew a lot of elements from Varma's Bombay films, Black Friday etc. And this is not just about Bombay. Has Charu seen 'Gangaajal' for instance? Originally Posted by Prabhu Ram

Yeah I got that. MR in Guru இந்திய சினிமாவில் ஒரு மைல்கல் அப்பிடி அண்ணன் ஒரு தரம் எழுதினார்.
It is extremely funny to see him write about phoren films. Suddenly from nowhere he will write things like காமிரா அப்பொழுது அவனுக்கு நேர் மேல் இருக்கும், அந்தக்கோணத்தில் அவனது வலியின் ஆழம் நிதர்சனமாகும். அனால் நமது படங்களில்....
Not that I don't get his "we are philistines" rant. In fact I wouldn't disagree with him too vehemently. But his ignorance of his ignorance and empty showboating is quite annoying. OTOH a few months back I read an article in the inaugural issue of yet another lit. magazine: vArththai. It was a full length article by cinematographer Chezhian (Kalloori). He is the guy who used to the write the world cinema intro series in Vikatan.
The article was about "close up shots".That was a really good article and it was so clear he knew what he was talking about. He was indeed roundly dissing the misuse of the close-up shot in our films and even attempting to link it to the sociopolitical psyche of the average Tamil viewer, giving some examples from films from all over where the shot was used well (and how it couldn't have been done by any other technique). It was really good to read such an article in Tamil than such empty bs'ing by our hero. avan pEsalAm, nee pEsakkoodAdhu.

Yeah, he can go overboard at the drop of a hat. His familiarity with Tamil cinema itself is very limited for a film critic and it's glaringly obvious.

"ARR is GOD" says Kannada MD Rajesh Ramanathan
Kannada music director Rajesh Ramanathan has been in the music industry for nearly 15 years. The man, who started off as a sound engineer, has come a long way. The talented music director, who has worked with stalwarts like Vishnuvardhan, Upendra, Sudeep and Indrajit Lankesh, speaks about his future plans.
Not many know that Rajesh was the lead guitarist for a rock band called Rockcliff that used to open for A R Rahman's band Down Sterling. He can also play different forms of guitar like base and acoustic. No wonder when asked about his inspirations, he has an array of them from different genres of music. "R D Burman, Hamsalekha, Rajan-Nagendra and A R Rahman when it comes to film music," he says. He is a huge fan of international artistes like Whitesnake, Deep Purple, Guns & Roses and Bryan Adams as well.
So what does he think of Rahman's international recognition with Slumdog Millionaire? "I don't have words to express my appreciation for Rahman. He is God," declares he. "The spirituality and concentration with which he works is what drives one to success. It is an inspiration for the others as well."

இதோ அவருக்குக் கிடைத்த இன்னுமொரு உலக விருதுச் செய்தி…
பிரிட்டனின் மிக உயர்ந்த திரைப்பட விருதான பாஃப்டா (BAFTA) விருதையும் வென்றார் தமிழகத்தின் இசையமைப்பாளர் ஏ.ஆர் ரஹ்மான்.
இந்தியர் ஒருவர் இந்த விருதைப் பொறுவது இதுவே முதல்முறை. கோல்டன் குளோப், பாஃப்டா என ஆஸ்கருக்கான முதல் இரண்டு படிகளை வெற்றிகரமாகக் கடந்துவிட்ட ரஹ்மான், அடுத்து ஆஸ்கர் விருதின் வாயிலில் கால் வைத்துவிட்டார்.
மொத்தம் 9 பிரிவுகளில் ஆஸ்கருக்கு பரிந்துரைக்கப்பட்ட ‘ஸ்லம்டாக்…’
இந்தியக் கதையை அடிப்படையாகக் கொண்டு எடுக்கப்பட்ட பிரிட்டிஷ் படம் என்பதால் பாஃப்டாவிலும் நிச்சயம் விருது கிடைக்கும் என எதிர்பார்க்கப்பட்டது. மொத்தம் 11 பிரிவுகளில் இந்தப் படத்தை பரிந்துரைத்திருந்தார்கள்.
அவற்றில் சிறந்த இசை உள்பட 7 பிரிவுகளில் பாஃப்டா விருது கிடைத்துள்ளது.
அவற்றில் சிறந்த இயக்குநர் (டேனி பாய்லே), சிறந்த இசை (ஏஆர் ரஹ்மான்), சிறந்த திரைக்கதை (சைமன் பியூஃபோய்), சிறந்த ஒளிப்பதிவு (ஆண்டனி டாட் மாண்டில்), சிறந்த சவுண்ட் எடிட்டிங் (ரசூல் பூக்குட்டி, க்ளென் ப்ரீமாண்டில், ரிச்சர்டு ப்ரைக், டாம் சாயர்ஸ் மற்றும் இயான் டாப்) ஆகிய பிரிவுகளில் விருது கிடைத்தது. இவர்களில் ரஹ்மானும், ரசூல் பூக்குட்டியும் மட்டுமே இந்தியர்கள்.
நேற்று லண்டனில் நடந்த வண்ணமிகு விழாவில் இந்த விருதுகள் வழங்கப்பட்டன.
பாஃப்டா விருதை வெல்லும் முதல் இந்தியர் ஏஆர் ரஹ்மான்தான். ஏற்கெனவே கோல்டன் குளோப் விருது பெற்ற முதல் இந்தியர் எனும் பெருமையைப் பெற்றுள்ளார்.
இன்னும் சில தினங்களில் ஆஸ்கர் விருது பெறும் முதல் தமிழர் எனும் பெருமையையும் பெறப்போகிறார்.
வாழ்த்துக்கள் ரஹ்மான்!!

Zakir Hussain sincerely desires that A R Rahman wins an Oscar
After winning a Grammy in the contemporary World Music Album category for his collaborative album Global Drum Project, Zakir Hussain says that he sincerely desires that A R Rahman wins an Oscar.
On being asked to respond to Rahman's global recognition for
Slumdog Millionaire, Zakir Hussain said that, "He is a genius. I think his talent has been duly recognised now and I am very happy with that. The best thing about him is that he has consistently proved himself. He is not a one time wonder. He has delivered consistently. He has really made us feel very proud. I hope he does equally fantastic at the Oscars. "

After my not-so-good experiences with multiplexes – I have got a phobia for theatres. I have also understood something vital in life – that no Indian movie is worth big screen, and any foreign movie is not worth without good subtitles.
I had bought a pirated copy of SM in the train on my trip to Tiruppur recently. The print was good, the DVD seller is known to me, and it costed me just Rs 40. Well piracy is banned – but then the DVD seller pays the policemen Rs 300 for every trip he makes. I would love this DVD seller to make money than some multiplex owner – who makes money by selling stuff at more than MRP.
SM was a decent movie. But not worth the hype and the awards it is bragging. A R Rahman’s score was good as always, but not his best. He has done better in Indian movies I am sure.
The movie has it all – poverty, humour, sex, incest, violence, disgust, song, pain, ‘shit’ – a perfect masala I should say. The movie will surely give ‘sadistic’ pleasure to the people living in 1st world countries (US/UK) who are completely unaware about how people in 3rd world countries (like India) lead their lives. May be Indians should try to make a movie that depicts adultery, pre-teen sex, abortions and racial discrimination among the Westerners to brag some Oscars in future.
I liked the movie except for one dialogue – where the little guy says, this is real India, and the American says, then we will show who real Americans are. My God! They have tried to show Americans as the real White Gods! I think it is reason enough for A R Rahman to refuse to take the Oscars!

Late comers to the party.
'Slumdog' Composer's Crescendo Of a Career
By Emily Wax
Washington Post Foreign Service
Thursday, February 19, 2009; C01
MUMBAI, India -- Before A.R. Rahman received three Academy Award nominations for his contributions to "Slumdog Millionaire's" Indian-infused techno soundtrack, he was known across India as "the Mozart of Madras." He's long been Bollywood's best-known composer, a household name for his love ballads, offbeat world rhythms and patriotic pop hits that have sold more than 100 million albums, making him one of the world's top-selling artists.
Across India, many fans celebrated his nominations (one for Best Original Score and two for Best Song), and newspaper headlines chanted, "Ra. Ra. Rahman." But most fans say "Slumdog's" score was far from his best work. He's much better known for his often emotional ballads in Bollywood megahits such as "Roja" and "Lagaan," and hailed by critics for brooding songs for art house films.
But for Rahman, "Slumdog's" fluid soundtrack is the culmination of his accomplishments. Like Rahman himself, the soundtrack has a vast range: It jumps from a punk song by the Clash to a Hindi anthem to an aching sitar solo.
"The reason I love 'Slumdog' is because the music is all world cultures, all celebrating," he said in a telephone interview from Los Angeles, which his entire extended family is visiting for Oscar night. "In India, I know people feel other film scores [of mine] are closer to their hearts. But when you are doing a film, it's very important to make the film look like one full piece of artwork. I think scoring 'Slumdog' with every kind of music possible, from Chinese to hip-hop to M.I.A. . . . was really fresh ground for me."
It was the film's British director, Danny Boyle, who picked Rahman. He asked him to capture Mumbai's frantic urban energy for his dark fairy tale of an orphan from the city's slums who goes on India's version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire." The film's most popular song is "Jai Ho," a bubbly Bollywood number that ends the movie with a classic song and-dance routine. It's been played at fashion shows in Paris and has become a hit in clubs across Europe and the United States.
Since the early 1990s, Rahman has been a musical chameleon. He's been a rock star and worked as an advertising jingle writer. He's melded the words of Indian poets, Arab hip-hop, Tamil folk and Sufi mysticism. And he worked briefly as a choreographer, putting together a stage extravaganza combining a Tamil dancing troupe with an unlikely partner -- Michael Jackson -- for a series of concerts in Germany 10 years ago.
Rahman, 42, said he always knew he would make his life about music. His father, R.K. Shekhar, was a well-known film composer for Malayalam-language movies in India's southern cinema, long considered some of the most subtle and serious films on the subcontinent. Rahman began studying the piano at age 4. Though his father died when Rahman was 9, his mother pushed him to hang out with friends of his father: tabla master Zakir Hussain and violinist and singer L. Shankar. They helped him get a scholarship to Trinity College, Oxford, where he earned a degree in Western classical music.
Following graduation, he became a jingle writer, a popular job in a country where songs selling products often become radio hits. But in 1991, he was hired to write and direct music for "Roja." He was just 25 and called it "a real milestone for me."
Rahman has recently started to compose more international scores, including last year's film "Elizabeth: The Golden Age." He studied Chinese and Japanese music to score the Mandarin language picture "Warriors of Heaven and Earth" in 2003.
His wife, Sairaa, said: "I've always told him, a composer is someone who composes soulful music. There are some of A.R.'s songs that have made me very emotional and I have cried. It is something that he creates from within."
"The Oscar is definitely the biggest moment in my life," she said. "I know he has won so many awards. But this one is special because he is representing India."
Rahman hopes all the attention will encourage other young Indians to choose music as a future.
"We really need that space for creativity in India right now," he said. "Most of all, I just want that to be recognized."

Leaked Oscar winner's list a fraud, says Academy
PTI | Friday, 20 February , 2009, 18:00
A list revealing the names of the Oscar winners that was doing the rounds of some online websites has been dismissed by the Academy authorities as "complete fraud". However, if the list is to be believed, Indian composer A R Rahman will have to return empty handed despite receiving three nominations for Slumdog Millionaire music.
But the Academy spokeswoman Leslie Unger was quick to dismiss the list as fraud.
"The document is a complete fraud," Leslie Unger said in response to the alleged leak which would have taken the excitement out of the award ceremony scheduled to take place this Sunday.
"PricewaterhouseCoopers is still counting the ballots, and there are only two people there who will know the complete list of winners in advance of the envelopes being opened during the ceremony," she told E! Online.
"The Academy's president is not advised of the winners in advance, and no such list is created," Unger added.
According to the list Slumdog Millionaire will sweep the show winning both the Best Picture award and the gong for 'Best Director' which will go to Danny Boyle.

'Rahman has great chance of winning Oscars'
New Delhi (PTI): Buoyed by the BAFTA win and the Cinema Audio Society (CAS) award for best sound mixing, Resul Pookutty of the 'Slumdog Millionaire' team is heading to Los Angeles and just wants to be "there and enjoy" the Oscar ceremony.
"Winning an Oscar nomination (for 'Slumdog Millionaire') is the highest honour any sound engineer can get," Pokutty said. "Winning or losing does not matter much though people are saying I have a great chance of winning. I just want to go there and enjoy," he said.
Pokutty, earlier, this week became the first Indian to win CAS award. The award was presented to him along with re-recording mixers Ian Tapp and Richard Pryke in Los Angeles during the 45th Annual Awards ceremony of CAS.
"This award is from the Guild as its a great honour. This is one of the biggest honour I can ever get," he said. The CAS consists of over 550 sound mixers and associates from the film and television industries.
Pokutty feels that Rahman has a great chance of winning an Oscar. "He has a great chance of winning," he said. Pokutty's colleagues at his Mumbai studio are just excited. "With his winning the CAS award, there is more than 70 per cent chance that he will bag the Oscar," said sound designer Amrit Pritam, who is an associate recordist for the Hindi version of 'Slumdog Millionaire'.
Pookutty, grew up in a small village of Vilakkupara in Kollam district of Kerala and came to Mumbai after graduating from FTII, Pune. His debut film was Rajat Kapoor's 'Private Detective' in 1997. His work in 'Gandhi My Father' and 'Ghajini' won critical acclaim.

விடிந்தால் ஆஸ்கர் அதிகாரப்பூர்வ பட்டியல் தெரிந்துவிடும். நம்ம 'மெட்ராஸ் மொசார்ட்'டுக்கு விருது உண்டா இல்லையா என்ற சஸ்பென்ஸும் நீங்கி விடும்.
ஆனால் அதற்குள் எவ்வளவு முடியுமோ அவ்வளவு பணம் சுருட்ட ஒரு கும்பல் தீவிரமாக வேலை பார்த்துக் கொண்டிருக்கிறது. ஏராளமான புதுப்புது இணைய தளங்களை உருவாக்கி வைத்துள்ள இவர்கள், ஸ்லம்டாக் மில்லியனேர் எத்தனை ஆஸ்கர் விருதுகள் வாங்கும்... என்னென்ன பிரிவுகளில் வாங்கும்? ரஹ்மானுக்கு விருது உண்டா இல்லையா? என சூதாட்டம் நடத்தி பணம் பறித்துக் கொண்டுள்ளன.
இன்னொரு பக்கம், ரஹ்மானுக்கு ஆஸ்கர் விருது கிடைத்தே தீர வேண்டும்... அவர் தகுதிக்கு முன் ஆஸ்கர் ஒரு பொருட்டே அல்ல, என்ற குரல்கள் ஒலிக்கத் துவங்கியுள்ளன, தமிழகத்தின் பக்கத்து மாநிலமான புதுவைப் பகுதியிலிருந்து.
காரைக்காலைச் சேர்ந்த சுனாமியால் பாதிக்கப்பட்ட மக்கள் அனைவரும் ஒன்று சேர்ந்து ரஹ்மானுக்கு ஆஸ்கர் கிடைத்தே தீர வேண்டும் என்ற கூட்டுப் பிரார்த்தனாயில் ஈடுபட்டுள்ளனர். தேவாலயங்கள், அம்மன் கோயில்கள், மசூதிகளில் பிரார்த்தனைகள் தொடர்ந்து நடந்தவண்ணம் உள்ளன.
அது என்ன ரஹ்மான் மீது மட்டும் இந்த தமிழர்களுக்கு இத்தனை பாசம்?
2004-ம் ஆண்டு டிசம்பர் 24-ம் தேதியை உலகம் உள்ளளவும் மறந்துவிட முடியாது. அன்றுதான் இயற்கை சுனாமி வடிவில், தான் படைத்த மனித சமுதாயத்தையே பெருமளவு விழுங்கி கோபம் தணித்துக் கொண்டது.
அரசு ஆயிரம் உதவிகள் தந்தாலும், அந்த மனிதப் பேரவலத்திலிருந்து மக்கள் மனம் அத்தனை சுலபத்தில் இயல்புக்குத் திரும்பவே இல்லை.
அந்த சூழலில்தான் இசைப் புயல் ஏஆர் ரஹ்மான் தனது குழுவினருடன் காரைக்காலுக்கு அருகில் உள்ள கோட்டுச்சேரிமேட்டில் வந்திறங்கினார். அவருடன், அவரால் பிரபலமடைந்த இசைக் கலைஞர்கள் ஹரிஹரன், கார்த்திக், சின்மயி மற்றும் டிரம்மர் சிவமணி ஆகியோரும் வந்திருந்தார்கள்.
திறந்த வெளி மணல்பரப்பையே மேடையாக்கி ரஹ்மானும் அவரது குழுவினரும், சுனாமியால் நைந்து போயிருந்த அந்த கடல்புரத்து மக்கள் மனங்களை தங்கள் இசையிழைகளால் நெய்தார்கள்... ஆம்... நெய்தலில் ஒரு இசை நெய்தல் நடத்தினார் ரஹ்மான்.
இரண்டரை மணி நேரம்... அந்த மக்கள் இழந்த எதையோ ஒன்றைத் திரும்பப் பெற்றதாய் சந்தோஷம் கொண்டார்கள்.
இந்த உலகில் வேறு யாரும் செய்ய முடியாத அரிய சாதனை அது. கடவுளால் மட்டுமே கொடுக்க முடிந்த ஆத்ம சந்தோஷத்தை ரஹ்மான் என்ற கலைஞர் தந்தார், சுனாமி பாதித்த அந்த மக்களுக்கு.
அந்த தருணத்தையும், ரஹ்மான் தங்களுக்குத் தந்த அந்த அன்பு இசைப் பரிசையும் மக்கள் அத்தனை சுலபத்தில் மறந்துவிடவில்லை.
இதோ... அடுத்த 24 மணி நேரத்தில் ஆஸ்கர் மேடையில் ரஹ்மானும் நிற்கக் கூடிய வாய்ப்பு. அந்த வாய்ப்பை நூறு சதவிகிதம் உறுதிப்படுத்த, எல்லாம் வல்ல இறைவனை நோக்கி பிரார்த்தனையில் ஈடுபட்டுள்ளனர், காரைக்கால் பகுதியைச் சேர்ந்த கடல்புரத்து மக்கள் அனைவரும்.
'எங்களின் பிரார்த்தனையை கடவுள் நிச்சயம் கேட்பார்... நல்ல பிரார்த்தனைகளுக்கு தோல்வி கிடையாது', என்கிறார்கள் கோட்டுச்சேரிமேடு மக்கள் கேரஸாய்.
இது கோட்டுச்சேரிமேடு மக்களின் பிரார்த்தனை மட்டுமல்ல... ஒட்டுமொத்த தேசத்தின் பிரார்த்தனையும் கூட!

2009 Oscars ‘LIVE’ on Star Movies!
Hollywood’s biggest names will gather at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles for the 81st Annual Academy Awards. Star Movies will televise the star-studded event ‘live’ on Monday, 23 Feb at 6.30 am (IST).
The primetime encore at 8.30 pm will include an exclusive, on-the-ground Red Carpet Special hosted by CHANNEL [V]’s Dominic Lau.
This year’s ceremony promises to be a memorable one with first-time host Hugh Jackman fronting the telecast.
'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' is this year’s frontrunner with 13 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director and a Best Actor nod for Brad Pitt. The Golden Globe-winning 'Slumdog Millionaire' scored 10 Oscar nominations and is in the running for Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Picture.
The other contenders in the Best Picture category are the inspirational biopic, 'Milk', which landed eight nominations, the Holocaust drama 'The Reader', which scored five nominations, and the based-on-fact 'Frost/Nixon', which also earned five nominations.
In the Best Actor competition, Brad Pitt will face off against 'The Visitor’s Richard Jenkins, 'Frost/ Nixon’s Frank Langella, 'Milk’s Sean Penn and 'The Wrestler’s Mickey Rourke.
One of the closest contests will be in the battle for the Best Actress trophy. After winning a Golden Globe and BAFTA Award for her turn in 'The Reader', Kate Winslet is the odds-on favourite to take home the Oscar. But she faces stiff competition from Oscar winner Angelina Jolie ('Changeling'), awards darling Meryl Streep ('Doubt'), veteran actress Melissa Leo ('Frozen River') and Anne Hathaway ('Rachel Got Married').
This year’s nominations also honored Heath Ledger who received a posthumous Best Supporting Actor nomination for his role as The Joker in 'The Dark Knight'. Other contenders in the category are Josh Brolin ('Milk'), Robert Downey Jr. ('Tropic Thunder'), Philip Seymour Hoffman ('Doubt') and Michael Shannon ('Revolutionary Road').
Viewers can look forward to a change of pace this year with Australia’s Hugh Jackman taking over hosting duties. The Emmy-winning star promises the 2009 ceremony will be less formal and more fun than previous years. “We’re in the world of showbiz, and the Oscars have to be more show than business,” says the actor. “The fact that they’ve hired me is a sign they’re taking a different route.”
Will the feel-good fable 'Slumdog Millionaire' beat out the all-star cast of 'Benjamin Button'? Will Brad Pitt win his first Oscar? Will Kate Winslet finally take home a statuette after six Oscar norms?
When the envelopes are opened, be among the first to know who the winners are when Star Movies brings you the 81st Annual Academy Awards? ‘live’ on Mon, 23 Feb at 6.30 am (IST) with a primetime encore at 8.30 pm.

Weight Rahman may lift on Oscars' night!
(Timesnow, 2/22/2009 2:30:53 PM)
f all goes right for A R Rahman and Resul Pokutty, they might end up lifting a 13.5-inch and 8.5 pound knight holding a crusader's sword and standing on a reel of film on Academy night.
The Oscar statue stands 13.5 inches tall and weighs in at a robust 8.5 pounds. The film reel features five spokes, signifying the five original branches of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences: actors, directors, producers, technicians and writers.
Although the statuette remains true to its original design, the size of the base varied until 1945, when the current standard was adopted.
Since the initial awards banquet on May 16, 1929, in the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel's Blossom Room, 2,701 statuettes have been presented.
Every year in January, additional new golden statuettes are cast, moulded, polished and buffed by R S Owens & Company, the Chicago-based awards manufacturer retained by the Academy since 1982.
MGM art director Cedric Gibbons designed a statuette of a knight standing on a reel of film gripping a crusader's sword. The Academy tapped Los Angeles sculptor George Stanley to realize the design in three dimensions and the world-renowned statuette was born.
Officially named the Academy Award of Merit, the statuette is better known by its nickname, Oscar.
According to the Academy, the statuettes presented at the initial ceremonies were gold-plated solid bronze. Within a few years the bronze was abandoned in favour of Britannia metal, a pewter-like alloy which is then plated in copper, nickel silver, and finally, 24-karat gold.
Due to a metal shortage during World War II, Oscars were made of painted plaster for three years. Following the war, the Academy invited recipients to redeem the plaster figures for gold-plated metal ones.
Achievements in up to 25 regular categories will be honoured on February 22 at the 81st Academy Awards presentation at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood and Highland Center.
However, the Academy won't know how many statuettes it will hand out until the envelopes are opened on Oscar Night.
Although the number of categories and special awards are known in advance, the possibility of ties and of multiple recipients sharing the prize in some categories makes it impossible to predict the exact number of statuettes to be awarded.
As in previous years, any surplus awards will be housed in the Academy's vault until next year's event.

Pakistani artistes pray for Rehman's win at Oscars
Sun, Feb 22 02:32 PM
Mona Parthsarathi New Delhi, Feb 22 (PTI) Renowned Pakistani singers Ghulam Ali and Farida Khanum feel that music maestro A R Rahman deserves an Oscar for his music in "Slumdog Millionaire". "I pray from the depth of my heart that he wins Oscar.
It will be a proud and historic moment not only for India but the whole music fraternity," Farida Khanum told PTI from Lahore. Rahman is nominated for Best Original Score and Best Original Song for his numbers "Jai ho" and "O saya" in the rags-to-riches dram about a Mumbai slumdweller, which is also vying for Best Film and Best Director awards at the Oscars.
The composer has already bagged a Golden Globe, BAFTA, Satellite Award, and Los Angeles Film Critics Association award for his music in the film. "Rahman is rendering music from the age of 16.
He understood Sur from a different perspective and came up with unique style. God has been graceful to him and you feel divinity in his Sufism oriented songs like Hazi Ali and Khwaza mere Khawaza," the Ghazal singer said.

Will M.I.A. perform from a bed at the Oscars?
Whether A R Rahman will take home an Oscar or not, he will make history on February 22, as he performs two Oscar-nominated songs from Slumdog Millionaire [Images] at the ceremony. This is the first time ever an Indian song is presented at the event.
The Kodak Theatre will have a star-studded 3,500 attendees. Out of the three songs nominated this year, the third one is from the animated hit film Wall-E [Images].
There is a lot of speculation about surprise Oscar presenters. Some Hollywood insiders say that Shah Rukh Khan [Images], who presented a Golden Globe [Images] a few weeks ago, will give away an Oscar.
There is also speculation that Sri Lanka-born rapper Tamilian M.I.A., who gave birth to her first child, a boy, last week soon after she performed at the Grammy Awards, will sing or watch someone else perform her part of the O Saya number. Oscar insiders say that they are afraid that she did not have enough time to practice for the event but she would certainly be joining Rahman.
"Her contribution to the song is extremely important," Rahman said. "She was the one who approached (director) Danny Boyle [Images] telling him that she wanted to be a part of the project. Besides, when we were thinking of pushing Jai Ho for the nominations, she urged that we submit O Saya too."
The Independent wrote a few days ago that 'the organisers have allegedly begged the singer M.I.A to perform live, via video link from her bed if necessary.'
Some Oscar observers believe that the song presentations are not really that important. Wouldn't it be interesting, then, if M.I.A appears in an oversized bed, wondered a commentator in Entertainment Weekly.
'I actually really, really hope this cockamamie bed thing happens -- and not just because I like comically oversized/inappropriate beds, like the one Charlie's grandparents live in Willy Wonka, or the one in the so-bad-it's-hilarious Bedknobs and Broomsticks, or the one Lane rides down the street on that episode of Gilmore Girls,' the commentary said. 'Not only would an awesome and strange M.I.A. Oscar song bed be an important addition to this list, but it would also really liven up what can sometimes be the national bathroom break during the ceremony.'
Rahman has spent nearly a week in Hollywood preparing for the event, even canceling his trip to New York to be at the world premiere of Delhi-6 [Images]. Each of the musical items will have just over a minute at the presentations, unlike the four-minute slot in previous years. Instead of the individual presentations, songs will be presented this year as a medley. That did not go well with singer Peter Gabriel, who declined to perform Down to Earth from Wall-E. Some one else will then do the singing.
The producers of the show are serious about wrapping it in three hours. Presenter Hugh Jackman [Images] is fully aware of the mandate.
'I feel like I'm part of something new,' Jackman told a British publication last week. 'I'm part of a new era, hopefully, and history will tell us if we went the right way... they're guiding me in a way that is going to make the show fun and, between you and me, a little quicker.'

The Oscars are the perfect occasion for everyone who's vying for one of those golden statuettes to make a fashion statement. But, no matter how hush hush they try to keep their special outfits, some secrets about what the stars will be wearing to the big night are already out.
But the stars of the red carpet will be dressed in their best and some secrets are already out.
A R Rahman will wear a black and grey tux from Lanvin. And the Mumbai grapevine is abuzz that Shobhaa De has texted Freida Pinto, British socialite Jemima Khan's wish to dress her up. But Freida's not giving anything out yet, pretty much like other Hollywood divas.

தென்னிந்தியத் திரைப்படங்களில் இசையமைப்பாளராகவும, இசை நடத்துனராகவும் பணியாற்றியவர் ஆர்.கே.சேகர். இவரது மகனாக 1967ம் ஆண்டு ஜனவரி 6ம் தேதி பிறந்தார் ஏ.எஸ்.திலீப் குமார். இவர்தான் இன்றைய ஏ.ஆர்.ரஹ்மான்.
ரஹ்மானுக்கு 9 வயதாக இருந்தபோது தந்தை சேகர் மரணமடைந்தார். இதனால் குடும்பம் நெருக்கடி நிலைக்குத் தள்ளப்பட்டது. வீட்டில் இருந்த இசைப் பொருட்களையெல்லாம் விற்றும், வாடகைக்கு விட்டும் ஜீவனம் நடத்த வேண்டிய துர்பாக்கிய நிலை.
இந்த நிலையில், 1989ம் ஆண்டு இஸ்லாமுக்கு மாறினார் ரஹ்மான். இந்தக் காலகட்டத்தில், கீ போர்ட் பிளேயராக மாறினார் ரஹ்மான். தனது பால்ய நண்பரான டிரம்ஸ் சிவமணி மற்றும் ஜான் ஆன்டனி, ஜோஜோ, ராஜா ஆகியோருடன் இணைந்து இசைக் குழுக்களில் பணியாற்றத் தொடங்கினார்.
கீபோர்ட், ஹார்மோனியம், கிதார் பியானோ, சிந்தசைசர் ஆகியவற்றில் திறமை மிக்கவராக விளங்கினார்.
ஆனால் சிந்தசைசரில்தான் அவருக்கு அதிக பிரியம். இசையையும், தொழில்நுட்பத்தையும் சரியான கலவையில் இணைக்கும் கருவி என்பதால் சிந்தசைசரில் அவருக்கு அதிக ஆர்வம் ஏற்பட்டது.
ஆரம்பத்தில் மாஸ்டர் தன்ராஜிடம் இசை பயின்றார். 11 வது வயதில் இசைஞானி இளையராஜாவிடம் கீபோர்ட் கலைஞராக சேர்ந்தார்.
பின்னர் மெல்லிசை மன்னர் எம்.எஸ்.விஸ்வநாதன், ரமேஷ் நாயுடு, ஜாகிர் உசேன், குன்னக்குடி வைத்தியநாதன், எல்.சங்கர் ஆகியோருடனும் இணைந்து பணியாற்றினார்.
எல்.சங்கருடன் இணைந்து அவர் நடத்திய பல உலகளாவிய கச்சேரிகளில் ரஹ்மானும் இணைந்து பங்காற்றினார்.
இதற்கிடையே லண்டன் டிரினிட்டி இசைக் கல்லூரியில் ஸ்காலர்ஷிப்பை முடித்தார். மேற்கத்திய கிளாசிகல் இசையில் டிகிரியும் முடித்தார்.
1992ம் ஆண்டு ரஹ்மானின் இசைப் பயணத்தில் முக்கிய மைல் கல். தனியாக சொந்தமாக இசைப் பதிவு மற்றும் இசைக் கலப்பு ஸ்டுடியோவை தொடங்கினார் ரஹ்மான். தனது வீட்டுக்குப் பின்னால் இந்த ஸ்டுடியோவைத் தொடங்கினார். பஞ்சதன் ரெக்கார்ட் இன் என்று அதற்குப் பெயர். இன்று இந்தியாவின் அதி நவீன ரெக்கார்டிங் ஸ்டுடியோக்களில் ஒன்றாக பஞ்சதன் விளங்குகிறது.
இந்த ரெக்கார்டிங் ஸ்டுடியோவைத் தொடங்கிய பின்னர் விளம்பர ஜிங்கிள்ஸ், டிவி நிறுவனங்களின் முகப்பு இசை (ஏசியாநெட், ஜெஜெ டிவி ஆகியவற்றின் முகப்பு இசையை ரஹ்மான்தான் வடிவமைத்தார்) உள்ளிட்ட இசைப் பணிகளில் ஈடுபட்டார்.
இந்த நிலையில் மணிரத்தினம் உருவில் ரஹ்மானுக்கு திடீர் திருப்பம் ஏற்பட்டது. தனது ரோஜா படத்துக்கு இசை மற்றும் பின்னணி இசை அமைத்துத் தர வேண்டும் என்று கேட்டார் மணிரத்தினம்.
சந்தோஷத்துடன் ஒத்துக் கொண்ட ரஹ்மான், தனது திறமைகளை அப்படியே அதில் கொட்டினார். ரோஜா ஏற்படுத்திய இசை பாதிப்பை சொல்லித் தெரிய வேண்டியதில்லை. முதல் படத்திலேயே இந்தியா முழுவதையும் தன் பக்கம் ஈர்த்த பெருமைக்குரியவர் ரஹ்மான். கூடவே தேசிய விருதையும் பெற்று இந்திய இசைப் பிரியர்கள் மத்தியில் ஒரு புதிய எதிர்பார்ப்பை ஏற்படுத்தினார். இசையிலும் ஒரு புதிய வடிவத்தை அறிமுகப்படுத்தினார்.
அதன் பிறகு ரஹ்மானின் இசைப் பயணம் புயல் வேகத்தில் இருந்தது. 1997ல் இசையமைத்த மின்சாரக் கனவு, 2002ல் இசையமைத்த லகான், 2003ம் ஆண்டு இசையமைத்த கன்னத்தில் முத்தமிட்டால் ஆகிய படங்களுக்காக தேசிய விருதுகளைப் பெற்றார்.
அதிக அளவிலான தேசிய விருதுகளைப் பெற்ற ஒரே இசையமைப்பாளர் இன்றைய தேதிக்கு ரஹ்மான் மட்டுமே.
ரோஜாவுக்குப் பிறகு தமிழில் மட்டுமல்லாமல் இந்தியிலும் தனது முத்திரையைப் பதித்தார் ரஹ்மான். தமிழைப் போலவே இந்தியிலும் முன்னணி இசையமைப்பாளராக பரிணமித்தார்.
இந்தியாவின் முன்னணி பாடலாசிரியர்களான வாலி, குல்ஸார், மெஹபூப், வைரமுத்து ஆகியோருடன் இணைந்து அதிக பாடல்களைக் கொடுத்த பெருமைக்குரியவர் ரஹ்மான்.
அதேபோல மணிரத்தினம், ஷங்கர் என முன்னணி இயக்குநர்களுடனும் அதிக அளவில் பணியாற்றியவரும் ரஹ்மான்தான்.
குறிப்பாக மணிரத்தினம், ஷங்கரின் ஆஸ்தான இசையமைப்பாளராகவே மாறிப் போனார் ரஹ்மான்.
திரை இசை தவிர்த்து தனியான ஆல்பங்கள் பலவற்றையும் படைத்துள்ளார் ரஹ்மான். இவரது இசையில் உருவான வந்தே மாதரம் இன்றைய தேதிக்கு இந்தியாவில் அதிகம் கேட்கப்பட்ட இசை வடிவமாக உள்ளது. 1997ம் ஆண்டு இந்தியாவின் சுதந்திர தின பொன்விழாவையொட்டி வந்தே மாதரத்தை வெளியிட்டார் ரஹ்மான்.
1999ம் ஆண்டு ஷோபனா, பிரபுதேவா ஆகியோருடன் இணைந்து மியூனிச் நகரில் மைக்கேல் ஜாக்சனுடன் இணைந்து கச்சேரி செய்தார் ரஹ்மான்.
2002ம் ஆண்டு லண்டனைச் சேர்ந்த பிரபல நாடக இசையமைப்பாளர் ஆண்ட்ரூ லாயிட் வெப்பருடன் இணைந்து லண்டன் வெஸ்ட் என்ட் ஹாலில், பாம்பே ட்ரீம்ஸ் என்ற மேடை நாடகத்திற்கு இசையமைத்தார் ரஹ்மான்.
இதுதான் மேற்கத்திய இசையின் பக்கம் ரஹ்மானின் முத்திரை முதலில் பதிந்த நிகழ்வு.
அதேபோல 2004ம் ஆண்டு லார்ட் ஆப் தி ரிங்ஸ் என்ற நாடகத்திற்கு இசையமைத்தார்.
கடந்த 6 ஆண்டுகளில் சிங்கப்பூர், ஆஸ்திரேலியா, மலேசியா, தூபாய், இங்கிலாந்து, கனடா, அமெரிக்கா மற்றும் இந்தியாவில் 3 வெற்றிகரமான உலக இசை நிகழ்ச்சிகளை நடத்தினார் ரஹ்மான்.
2008ம் ஆண்டு டிசம்பர் 12ம் தேதி கனெக்ஷன்ஸ் என்ற திரை இசை அல்லாத ஆல்பத்தை வெளியிட்டார் ரஹ்மான்.
கர்நாடக இசை, மேற்கத்திய கிளாசிகல், இந்துஸ்தானி மற்றும் கவ்வாலி இசையில் திறமை மிக்கவரான ரஹ்மானுக்கு புதிய வடிவில் புதிய இசையைக் கொடுப்பது அல்வா சாப்பிடுவது போல.
ஒவ்வொரு இசை வடிவிலும் உள்ள சிறப்புகளை எடுத்து, புதிய வடிவில் அவற்றை சாமானியர்களுக்கும் ரசிக்கும் வகையில் கொடுத்ததே ரஹ்மானின் வெற்றிக்கு முக்கிய காரணம்.
இளம் வயதினருக்கான இசையை மட்டுமே ரஹ்மான் கொடுக்கிறார் என்ற ஒரு பேச்சு இருந்தாலும் கூட எந்த நிலையினரும் ரசிக்கக் கூடிய வகையிலேயே ரஹ்மானின் இசை உள்ளது என்பதை யாரும் மறுக்க முடியாது.
ஏ.ஆர்.ரஹ்மானின் இசைப் பயணம் போலவே அவரது குடும்பப் பயணமும் ரம்மியமானது. அவரது மனைவி சாய்ரா பானு. இவர்களுக்கு கதீஜா, ரஹீமா, அமன் என மூன்று மகள்கள்.
ரஹ்மானின் முதல் படங்கள் ...
தமிழில் ரஹ்மானுக்கு முதல் படம் ரோஜா. இந்தியிலும் இது டப் ஆனது.
இந்தியில் ரஹ்மானின் நேரடி முதல் படம் ரங்கீலா.
மலையாளத்தில் முதல் படம் யோதா.
தெலுங்கில் முதல் படம் சூப்பர் போலீஸ்.
ஆங்கிலத்தில் முதல் படம் வாரியர்ஸ் ஆப் ஹெவன்.
ரஹ்மானை அலங்கரித்த விருதுகள் ...
எத்தனை படங்களுக்கு ரஹ்மான் இசையமைத்தாரோ அதை விட சற்று கூடுதலாகவே விருதுகளைக் குவித்து வைத்திருக்கிறார் ரஹ்மான்.
அவரது விருதுகளின் உச்சம் சமீபத்தில் ஸ்லம்டாக் மில்லியனர் படத்திற்காக கோல்டன் குளோப், பாஃப்டா விருதுகள்.

http://sify.com/movies/hollywood/ful...75&?vsv=TopHP1Jai Ho for A R Rahman
Monday, 23 February , 2009, 09:44
Last Updated: Monday, 23 February , 2009, 10:31
The Mozart of Madras was almost breathless as he got on to the stage to accept the Oscar for Best Original Score for Slumdog Millionaire. He compared the experience to the day of his marriage. And once he got rid of the nervousness, he went on to thank his mother and her blessings. He signed off with a saying in Tamizh "Yellam pugazhum iraivanu ke!" meaning all praise be to god. That's Rahman's trademark humility!
But it wasn't time for Rahman to step off stage as yet. He came on to perform O Saya and Jai Ho as a precussor to the announcement of the Academy Award for Best Orignal Song. Dancers in pink gaghra choli's danced away to the maestro's beat. John Legend too performed the song from WALL-E nominated for the same.
And keeping our fingers crossed for Rahman paid off. He went on to bag his second Oscar for Best Orignal Song for Jai Ho from Slumdog Millionaire. In his acceptance speech we once again got to see Rahman's spirituality and the source of his music - ""All my life I had a choice between hate and love. I chose love and I am here."

brilliant, just brilliant. No other industry in India other than Tamil film industry deserved such a honour because with MSV-IR-ARR, it is Tamil film world that has been the standard bearer for film music for 3 generations. I see this as a culmination of the path paved by Ramanathan, Viswanathan and Rasiah. An award for Gulzar is well deserved, too.
Just a nit pick, Bhanu Athaiyya won an Oscar before so that makes Pookutty the fourth Indian, and fifth if you consider Ray's lifetime Oscar.

Why Gulzar saab wasn't in the Oscars. Infact he was also nominated with AR for Jai Ho song. Ian Tapp, Resul Pookutty and Richard Pryke share for sound mixing Gulzar saab should also be there and he deserved it very much. ennanana adutha Hollywood padathula Vairamuthuvoda voru tamil song vaikkalama.

Interesting story is this song was actually composed for Yuvraaj. Ghai wasnt interested or he didnt find any scope (as if) to include in his movie. On the other hand ARR composed a different song for the SDM ending and finally they choose/convinced Danny to use Jai Ho.
Subash Ghai (polamburaru idhu en neram) everything got its fate.
Just checked ARR YG- Gulzar said in an interview "It is because of
Rahman." And the award is clearly announced Winner is Jai ho - AR Rahman and Gulzar. Then he will receive the Oscar Statuette as well.

CONGRATULATIONS, A. R. Rahman!!! This is for your extraordinary musical talent and for your immense patience and humbleness! What a moment in Indian and Tamil History, extremly proud to be part of this moment!
And things I recognised during the show:
- Alicia Keys is perhaps the first Non-Indian and Non-Tamilian to pronounce Rahman's name 100% perfectly!
- Where were Sukhwinder Singh and M.I.A? Both the two didn't perform but then Mahalakshmi Iyer did.
- The performance itself, the collaboration between John Legend and ARR so fantastic, was amazing, Peter Gabriel's song sandwiched between both the SDM songs, it had really no chances to win. And while playing "Down to Earth" the people danced in traditional Indian clothes!! Didn't expect this!
- The person, who bagged the most awards this night? Exactly, none other than our A. R. RAHMAN!!!

Kamal's message for Rahman
February 23, 2009
The entire Indian film industry has gone ecstatic over the clean sweep of Slumdog Millionaire at the Oscar's today. The celebrities are now coming out with their congratulatory messages and Kamal Haasan is one among the early birds to wish the Mozart of Madras.
The actor had said he felt like he was walking along with A.R. Rahman on stage to collect the award. According to Kamal Haasan, he always found Rahman to be very simple and .
uncomplicated. The actor added that he was proud and happy as an Indian for Rahman's fete
The Ulaganayagan, while talking about the musical genius's humility, recalled an incident during the Marmayogi project. Kamal pointed out that while he was going gaga over a song composition for the film, Rahman was calm and composed.
Kamal said that Oscars is not like Olympics because each entry is judged based on American standards and not on universal standards. "It is good that Indians are doing well and they cannot be ignored at the Oscars anymore", the star added.

Kamal Haasan Accolades AR Rahman
[Monday, February 23, 2009]
Kamal Haasan, the universal hero of Tamil cinema was in a strong contention for the Oscar race and thrived his best to win the coveted trophy. But, Rahman has raced ahead and a generous Kamal is glad that an Indian had achieved such heights on a global scale.
An exclusive press meet was organized by the actor to express his congratulations to AR Rahman for winning the Oscars and he also shared his views about the Oscar awards. He opines that it's a scale which measures the quality of Hollywood cinema and not world cinema.
Olympics is a competition conducted on a global scale but Oscars are for America alone and not to be considered to rate our movies.
He also said that he's proud that one of us from Tamil Nadu has gone to make a mark and make India proud.

It was really thrilling to explain to my son's classmate - american boy who was at our home for a sleep-over and also one who loves 'shivaji' songs- what ARR spoke in Thamizh
And he exclaimed when the second one got announced, "hey he got 2"!
One thing - it appeared to me that ARR knew the result "already" in both cases, and was at ease May be my imagination.
In fact I felt so in many other cases as well.
Pookkutty, though, appeared to know only at that point of time and sounded really thrilled!

Same here. The moment ARR got the Oscar nominations under two categories, I was almost sure he is gonna walk away with at least one. But I wanted him to win both especially under the "best original score" category. SDM really swept the awards in all the major categories last night. That was just tremendous!

Well, it was worth taking a day off. Who am I, siruvan, to congratulate the giant called A.R. Rahman. But what the heck, congratulations, Isai Puyal A.R Rahman.
Overall it was a dull show, terrible in some part, and embarassing (the musical and why the heck do they have to bring Beyonce, she's everywhere).
A brief emotional moment, when remembering those who have passsed on, I teared when they showed Newman.
Then, whole thing redeemed when Rahman won. It was not surprising. We know he will win.

Batting ace Sachin Tendulkar is extremely elated by India's showing at the Oscars.
"It is a brilliant achievement. For the entire nation, it is a very proud moment," Tendulkar said this morning.
The master blaster, who had had a word with A R Rahman a couple of days ago, was confident that the musical genius will walk away with the honours.
"Rahman's contribution to music has been immense and this award is only a mere reflection of what he has been able to contribute to music and to India.
"I had spoken to him not only about this, but about other albums as well. He has always been able to produce something special in every album," Tendulkar said.
Rahman won two Oscars - for the best original score and the best song.

ஆஸ்கர் விருது சில சர்ச்சைகள்
ஸ்லம்டாக் மில்லியனர் படம் எட்டு ஆஸ்கர் விருதுகளை கைப்பற்றியதை உலக அதிசயமாக இடைவிடாமல் ஒளிபரப்பின வட இந்திய ஆங்கில செய்தி ஊடகங்கள். ஸ்லம்டாக் மில்லியனரின் வெற்றியை தங்களது சொந்த வெற்றியாக கொண்டாடும்படி இந்தியர்கள் இந்த ஊடகங்களால் மறைமுகமாக நிர்ப்பந்திக்கப்பட்டனர்.
இந்தியர்களான ஏ.ஆர். ரஹ்மானும், ரெசூல் பூக்குட்டியும் ஆஸ்கர் விருது பெற்றது சரித்திர சாதனை என்பதில் ஐயமில்லை. அதேநேரம், ஸ்லம்டாக் மில்லியனர் படத்தின் மற்ற ஆறு விருதுகளுக்கும் சேர்த்து இந்தியர்கள் சந்தோஷ ம் கொண்டாடுவது சர்ச்சையை கிளப்பியுள்ளது.
ஆஸ்கர் விருதின் பூர்வீகம் அறிந்த கமல்ஹாசன் வார்த்தைகளை தேர்ந்தெடுத்தே ரஹ்மானை பாராட்டியிருக்கிறார். அமெரிக்கர்கள் தங்களது சினிமாவுக்கு அளிக்கும் விருதான ஆஸ்கரை அமெரிக்க படத்தில் வேலை செய்து பெற்றிருக்கிறார் ரஹ்மான் என்று தெளிவுபட கூறி அதற்கு பாராட்டு தெரிவித்துள்ளார்.
ஸ்லம்டாக் மில்லியனர் இந்தியாவில் தயாரான படம் என்றாலும் அது இந்திய படம் அல்ல. அப்படியிருக்க அப்படத்துக்கு எட்டு ஆஸ்கர் விருது கிடைத்ததுக்காக ஏன் இந்தியர்களும், இந்தி மீடியாக்களும் ஆர்ப்பாட்டம் செய்கிறார்கள் என்று கேட்டிருக்கிறார், முகேஷ்பட்.
ஸ்லம்டாக் மில்லியனர் போலவே அதிக ஆஸ்கர் விருதுகளை குவித்த படம் லார்ட் ஆஃப் தி ரிங். இப்படம் நியூசிலாந்தில் தயாரானது என்றாலும் இதுவொரு அமெரிக்க தயாரிப்பு. ஆஸ்கர் விருது இப்படத்துக்கு கிடைத்தபோது, நமது படத்துக்கு ஆஸ்கர் கிடைத்திருக்கிறது என்று நியூசிலாந்துக்காரர்கள் பட்டாசு வெடிக்கவில்லை. இதையும் முகேஷ்பட்டே கூறியிருக்கிறார்.
அதேபோல் அமிதாப்பச்சனும் இந்தியாவை சிறந்த முறையில் வெளிப்படுத்திய படம் ஸ்லம்டாக் மில்லியனரா அல்லது டெல்லி 6 படமா என கேள்வி எழுப்பியுள்ளார்.
விருது கிடைத்த சந்தோ மாத்திரைகள் இந்தக் கேள்விகள் என்பதில் ஐயமில்லை.

if this movie was based on India but with a complete crew of foriegners,we have no reason to give a damn about this movie.
The technical team involved our guys and the recognition for them is the sole reason - and it should be the sole reason...why should anyone celebrate a foriegn team which shot the indian slum.

Ek Oscar Lo, Ek Muft: Gulzar

Ek Oscar Lo, Ek Muft: Gulzar
25 Feb 2009, 1231 hrs IST, Subhash K Jha
With all the bouquets my home has literally become 'Gulzar'. The Rahman-Gulzar jodi can truly be captioned Jai ho.”
Speaking on A R Rahman’s two Oscars, Gulzar Saab chuckles mischievously. “It’s like the song I wrote for Guru for him Ek lo ek muft. He got one Oscar and then the other one was a bonus. Happily I’m part of the second one.”
Gulzar Saab was not in Los Angeles when the double Oscar for Slumdog Millionaire including one for a song Jai ho written by the poet-extraordinaire was announced.
In fact he wasn’t even watching the Oscars when the Oscar for Jai ho announced.
“Forget about me. I feel very proud of Rahman ... always have always will. I think Rahman brought a change to Indian film songs, and for years. He gave a new form to the film song. This recognition at the Oscars proves that he has made a world of difference to the Hindi film song. Otherwise classical Indian music was always known globally even before the fim song.”
Gulzar Saab reminisces on Rahman. “I started noticing his pathbreaking numbers when he did his first score with me in Dil Se. But even before that he was doing pioneering work. When I heard the announcement for his first Oscar I got a lump in my throat. It was enough for me. I got up and left the room. I didn’t know my song Jai ho won the Oscar. My son-in-law Govind came and hugged me and said, ‘It’s won a double Oscar . One for your song.’
Gulzar Saab feels the double Oscar is a benchmark for our cinema. “It makes Indian cinema a part of world cinema, just like there are Asian awards that make us part of Asian cinema. Oscars certainly put us under a global gaze. Since the Oscars are American our Indian films never before went into mainstream categories. Slumdog Millionaire has opened up doors for our cinema .”
Gulzar Saab is also very proud of the Oscar given to Resul Pookutty for sound mixing. “Rahman’s Oscar we all expected. I’m happy to be part of his second Oscar. But Resul’s recognition is a breakthrough for all technicians in Indian cinema.”
Gulzar Saab would also like make mention of Sukhwinder who sang the Oscar-winning song Jai ho. “No one else is mentioning him. He’s an integral part of Jai ho. Of course, Rahman is the most important part of the song. But after that Sukhwinder and I are also important components in the song.”
So why wasn’t he at the Oscars ceremony?
Because,” Gulzar Saab deadpans, “I didn’t have a black coat and no lawyer was willing to lend me a size that fitted. I was too nervous to attend without a black coat.”
Press him a little further he comes out with the truth, “My right shoulder got hurt while playing tennis. I pulled a muscle two weeks ago. I’m going through therapy. I’ve a tennis tournament on March 1. Hopefully, my physiotherapist will allow me. I’ll play even if I lose. But I didn’t want us to lose at the Oscars.”

Rahman to be felicitated by south Indian musicians' union
Link - http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/holnus...0902251044.htmRahman to be felicitated by south Indian musicians' union
Chennai (IANS): Over 1,500 members of the Cine Musicians' Union (CMU) here will be among the first to felicitate Oscar-winner A.R. Rahman upon his return to the country on March 1, the body's chairman S.A. Rajkumar said Wednesday.
"This will be the start of a long series of functions in India that Rahman has graciously agreed to attend. In a way, it is a fitting tribute as he began his career here and is one of our esteemed members, whose music and Oscar victory represent the whole nation's pride and honour," Rajkumar told IANS.
A three kg silver memento in the shape of a globe with the etched logo of the body will presented to Rahman by legendary Carnatic musician M. Balamuralikrishna.
"It signifies that music is a universal language understood and appreciated worldwide. For us, he has won the world. Some of those who shaped Rahman's career in the beginning will be on stage as well, including music directors M.S. Vishwanathan, Ilayaraja and singer S.P. Balasubramanian," said Rajkumar.
Others on the dais would include movie directors K. Balachander, who gave Rahman his first break in "Roja", and A.V.M. Saravanan, who heads one of the biggest production houses in south India.
According to CMU sources, the memento is being created at a cost Rs.300,000. It was not immediately known whether the ceremony would include a concert.
The CMU represents the entire south India, encompassing the Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada film industries.
Rahman is also scheduled to visit the high security Puzhal prison to meet the inmates, according to Director General of Police (Prisons) R. Natraj.
"The visit will coincide with the screening of the Tamil dubbed version of 'Slumdog Millionaire' for inmates," said Natraj.
According to film industry sources here, a special "chariot" is being readied to ferry Rahman from the airport upon his arrival.
"There will be massive crowds on the streets to greet this hero whose victory is as great as our cricket team winning the world cups twice - in 1983 and the T20 version," said S. Bukhari, an Urdu and Arabic scholar who is one of the organisers of the event.
"Rahman means 'the merciful' and is an epithet of Allah. Since he said that he chose love and eschewed hate during the acceptance speech at the Oscar ceremony, this young man is India's 'Rahnuma' - the pioneer guide directing all towards the correct path," Bukhari added.
Rahman is also scheduled to give charity concerts for blind children and attend a host of other functions after his arrival.

The Rahmantic mode
Link - http://www.zeenews.com/zeeexclusive/...10456news.htmlThe Rahmantic mode
Nabila Habib
Rahman has imbibed a great deal of Indian traditional ragas, and has gone ahead and absorbed enough of western classical music too, to get that innovative twist in his compositions. Describing Rahman’s composition in the least number of adjectives invariably teases out the Sufi softness of his works. His compositions are mostly soulful, soft, and intrinsically musical. He has abundantly used the khayal method of Qawwali genre, and has beautifully incorporated it into sargam, and no doubt has been influenced by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
Sufi Rahman
Rahman says about his belief in Sufism, “I'm a deeply spiritual person. Sufism is about love - love for a fellow human, love for humanity, and ultimately love for God. For me, it's where music and religion meet - at dargahs, you will find qawwalis. That's my inspiration.”
The South Indian flavour
But the most powerful influence on Rahman is Carnatic music. His father being a South Indian composer and musician, Rahman had started his life in a world steeped in Carnatic notes where vocals superseded every other musical aspect. His grasp on beats is firm, and we hardly ever find him playing with different beats in his numbers. It is an intrinsically Carnatic method, and contrapuntal technique leaves the uniquely Rahman beats untouched, however complex the composition modes (equivalent to raga in Indian context) may be.
The inspiration
Talking about the incentive that motivates him to create the kind of music he does, Rahman said, “I wasn't too happy with the I-don't-want-to-listen-to-it attitude of our youngsters towards film music. Why can't we get our guys to listen to our own music rather than to Michael Jackson? I didn't want us to lose the market to the West. The music had to be cool and rooted, and yet had to branch out. It was like the wild imagination of a child... but it worked... it did travel beyond Madras and attract people.”
The chartbusting secret
His method and usage of techniques, therefore explains his popularity. And as the sale of albums go, he has a cute trick up his sleeve, that even put Forbes calculations astray. He says, “If you have one big hit in India, it will sell more than 5 or 6 million. I've done over 70 movies in which more than 20, 25 were really big hits. And the rest of them are musical hits. The soundtracks sell very well. It's a calculation of all that stuff. Each film I do is in three different languages. Tamil soundtracks sell probably half a million, Telegu sells probably 1 million, Hindi is like more than 6 or 7 million.” He added, “In India, we don't get royalties. Otherwise I'd be a very rich man. I wouldn't have to come to America!”
Call of Filmdom
From Rahman’s initiation into the Indian Film Industry (in his case the South Indian Film Industry and Bollywood converge because many of his compositions have been used in both Hindi Tamil, Malayalam adaptations of the films), his compositions have evolved into to add variety to his melodic layers.
Bang into Bollywood
‘Roja’ was his debut film. The compositions showed frank Carnatic effects complemented by soft, transcendental instrumentals. While ‘Bharat humko Jaan se’ had the traditional beat build-up and rising crescendo that accompany nationalistic music and songs in India, the treatment of the title song showed what was in store for the listeners – Rahman’s typical style that is simultaneously emotive and aesthetically appealing. ‘Roja’ is still considered to be Rahman’s best work till date by some critics.
Bolder notes
With ‘Rangeela’, the expression became bolder and more experimental. The western influence was clearly audible in the layerings and contrasting of instruments of different tonal qualities. That Rahman is highly affected by the contrapuntal style of Classical Western music, was obvious here. His Carnatic leanings took a relatively back-seat.
Sufi leanings
Among the succeeding line of movies that came his way, ‘Dil Se’ stands out. It had a decided influences of western, especially soul. If treated with an eye on the Indian music, sufism was more into the music in ‘Dil Se’ than anywhere else till then. ‘Satrangi had the same hypnotic quality that typically accompanies sufi music. But ‘Jiya jale jaan jale was an original ode to South Indian gayaki rendered beautifully by Lata Mangeshkar. A more melodious and popular adaptation of the vocal quality of Carnatic music cannot be found in modern Indian music.
Carnatic magic
‘Taal’ broke records in the popularity charts. Listening to the compositions, one understands what won the hearts of Indian audience. The Carnatic influence was back in full force, and the vocal-based music won over listeners with the freshness of its treatment. With gayaki taken as the centralised theme of ‘Taal’ compositions, a true improvisation of South Indian music was launched into Northern India with glamorous popularity.
Earthy sounds
‘Pukar’ and ‘Fiza’ came and created waves, but exceptional compositions had already been made by Rahman in the past. The spell was broken by ‘Lagaan’. AR Rahman took the project seriously and aired his versatility successfully. When ‘Ghanan ghanan’ and the theme ‘Waltz for a romance’ are compared, the subtlety with which the Indian has been gelled with the western can be seen. The switch from one to another is like a gentle effortless glide; and effortlessness is a sign of ingenuity! If you could hear the country breathe, it would be in the notes of ‘O mitwa.
An ode to love
‘Saathiya’ is of course an ode to beauty and love. Rahman being essentially a devoted humanist, the amount of passion and emotion that went into the work is touchingly audible. This is one work of Rahman where one wishes to leave aside the technical dissection and concentrate on the sensual aspects before anything else. Here love and beauty are rendered into notes, and the transition is almost imperceptible.
Similarly, ‘Swades’ has mystical sufi renderings, while ‘Mangal Pandey’ delights with its energy.
Versatility at its best
‘Rang De Basanti’ is another milestone for Rahman. ‘Ik onkar satnam’ is one piece where Rahman surpasses his musical leanings and dives straight into the essence of the words and their meaning. The rest of the numbers are what each should be, ‘Khoon chala’ is painful, and ‘Luka chhuppee’ tugs at your heartstrings like nothing else. The album of ‘Rang De…’ surpasses all in its sheer energy quotient. Only a tone-deaf wouldn’t be energised after listening to the album – it is an audible stimulant. A dose can charge you up.
The complete package
With ‘Rang De Basanti’, Rahman has got all that he needed by way of practice. After more than a decade of fulfilling musical creations, he can dish out excellence with ingenious rapidity. ‘Guru’ is another example. In ‘Barso re megha’ Rahman has incorporated western concepts into the Indian musical scheme. For example, contrapuntal layers is a Mozartian usage that Rahman has used in gelling Carnatic gayaki with authentic Hindustani, and surprisingly, with a dash of sufism, too!
Fresher tunes
Though ‘Jodha Akbar’ became famous, its music was mediocre by Rahman’s standards. ‘Kabhi kabhi Aditi’ of ‘Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na’ stands out for its musical harmony. It is simple, pure, and hence beautifully melodic. Then ‘Yuvvraaj’ and ‘Ghajini’ have Rahman’s trademark softness. Like Rahman’s sufi voice, his personal favorite appears to be the simple, hypnotic sufi compositions; though his expertise in using Carnatic is commendable. While sufi is his personal favorite, Carnatic is his discipline. And he has imbibed western methodology of layering and using complementary instruments.
Slumdog effect
Of course ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ is gathering international acclaim, but the true essence of Rahman’s music has long been heard; it is only now that recognition has gone international.
Miles to go...
Rahman’s range remains unutilized to the full, as each album passing though his hands reveals. Rahman seems to discover a new talent in himself everytime, and he catches hold of it with dexterity after every third or fourth trial. His limits have not yet been reached. There is much more to be gained from Rahmantics for those researching him. Long way to go, Rahman!

ஆஸ்கர் விருதுகளை வாங்கிய முதல் தமிழர் ஏ.ஆர்.ரகுமான் இன்று அதிகாலை 2.30 மணிக்கு சென்னை விமான நிலையம் வந்து சேர்த்தார். அவரை வரவேற்க அவரது ரசிகர்கள் பெருமளவில் திரண்டிருந்தனர்.
அமைச்சர் பரிதி இளம்வழுதி, இயக்குநர் ஆர்.பார்த்திபன், நடிகர் சிம்பு மற்றும் பலரும் விமான நிலையத்தில் ரகுமானுக்கு வரவேற்பு கொடுத்தனர்.
இதே போன்ற ரசிகர்கள் கூட்டம் அவரது கோடம்பாக்கதில் உள்ள வீட்டு முன்பும் இருந்தது. மேலும் ரகுமான் பேசுவதற்காக மேடை அமைக்கப்பட்டிருந்தது, ரசிகர் வெள்ளத்தில் சிக்கித்தவித்ததால் ரகுமானால் அங்கு அமைக்கப்பட்டிருந்த மேடைக்கு செல்ல முடியவில்லை.
அங்கு வந்திருந்த டிரம்ஸ் சிவமணி மினி இசைக்கச்சேரியே நடத்திவிட்டார்.
அப்போது பேசிய ஏ.ஆர்.ரகுமான்.
இந்த ஆஸ்கர் விருதை நான் இந்தியாவுக்கு சமர்ப்பணம் செய்கிறேன், மேலும் ஒரு தமிழனாக இருந்து இந்த விருதை வாங்கி வந்திருப்பதை பெருமையாக கருதுகிறேன்.
நான் பாலிவுட் சென்றாலும், ஹாலிவுட் சென்றாலும் எப்பவுமே தமிழுக்கு முக்கியத்துவம் கொடுப்பேன். என்று தெரிவித்தார்.

during nineties begginning IR music was not big trend for youth. his compositional tunes were long. he did justice only to some kamal & rajini movies. and movies like vatharam were timeless classics but sadly not a hit among yoth. his BGM too was not sadly a choice for youth, those days.
So, ARR wud have been introduced, maybe lately, by some other director and it wud have taken time but its kaalathin kattaayam. weather IR kochified or not, there was a generation outside, waiting for new music and sounds, as they were unable to sync with IR's music.

சென்னை திரும்பினார் ரஹ்மான்!- உற்சாக வரவேற்பு!!
சென்னை: ஆஸ்கர் விருது வென்ற இசைப்புயல் ஏஆர் ரஹ்மான் இன்று அதிகாலை சென்னை திரும்பினார். அவருக்கு மேளதாளம் முழங்க உற்சாக வரவேற்பு அளிக்கப்பட்டது.
முன்னதாக அவர் 28ம் தேதி தான் நாடு திரும்புவார் என அறிவிக்கப்பட்டிருந்தது. இதையடுத்து அவருக்கு அன்றைய தினம் மிக பிரமாண்டமான வரவேற்பளிக்க திரையுலகமும், அவரது ரசிகர்களும் முடிவு செய்திருந்தனர்.
ஆனால், கூச்ச சுபாவம் கொண்ட ரஹ்மான் இதைத் தவிர்க்க யாருக்கும் தெரிவிக்காமல் இன்று அதிகாலையிலேயே நாடு திரும்பிவிட்டார்.
துபாய் வழியாக இன்று அதிகாலை 2.30 மணிக்கு எமிரேட்ஸ் நிறுவன விமானம் மூலம் அவர் சென்னை விமான நிலையம் வந்து சேர்ந்தார்.
ஆனாலும் அவரது வருகையை தெரிந்து கொண்டுவிட்ட அவரது ரசிகர்கள் ஆயிரக்கணக்கில் விமான நிலையத்தில் திரண்டுவிட்டனர். அவரது இசைப் பள்ளியின் மாணவ, மாணவிகளும் நள்ளிரவில் திரளாகக் கூடிவிட்டனர்.
விமான நிலையத்தின் வெளியே வந்த அவருக்கு கொட்டு மேளங்கள் முழங்க அவருக்கு வரவேற்பு அளிக்கப்பட்டது. அப்போது ஏகத்துக்கும் கூட்ட நெரிசல் ஏற்பட்டது.
அமைச்சர் பரிதி இளம்வழுதி, இயக்குநர் ஆர்.பார்த்திபன், நடிகர் சிம்பு பலரும் விமான நிலையத்தில் ரகுமானுக்கு வரவேற்பு கொடுக்கக் காத்திருந்தனர். கூட்ட நெரிசலால் அவர்களை எல்லாம் பார்க்கக்கூட முடியவில்லை ரஹ்மானால்.
அங்கு அதிக நேரமும் நிற்க முடியாத அளவுக்கு கூட்டம் கட்டுக்கடங்காமல் போகவே உடனடியாக காரில் ஏறி வீட்டுக்குப் பறந்தார் ரஹ்மான்.
வீட்டில் ரசிகர் வெள்ளம்...:
கோடம்பாக்கத்தில் உள்ள தனது வீட்டுக்கு அதிகாலை 2.45 மணிக்கு வந்த ரஹ்மானை அங்கும் பெரும் ரசிகர் கூட்டம் சூழ்ந்து கொண்டது.
அங்கு ரஹ்மான் பேசுவதற்காக அவர் வீட்டு முன்பு மேடை அமைக்கப்பட்டிருந்தது. அந்த மேடையில் இயக்குனர் ஆர்.பார்த்திபன், நடிகர் சிம்பு, இயக்குனர் ஜெயம் ராஜா உட்பட பலர் நின்றிருந்தனர். டிரம்ஸ் சிவமணி ஒரு மினி இசைக் கச்சேரியே நடத்திவிட்டார்.
ரசிகர்கள் கூட்டம் ஆர்ப்பரித்துக் கொண்டிருந்த நிலையில் காரின் வெளியே தலையை நீட்டி ரசிகர்களுக்கு கையசைத்துச் சென்றார் ரஹ்மான். அவரால் அந்த மேடைக்குக் கூடச் செல்ல முடியவில்லை. அந்த அளவுக்கு கூட்டம் அலைமோதியது.
இதையடுத்து கையில் மைக்கை வாங்கிய ரஹ்மான்,
நான் இன்னும் நிறைய சாதிக்க வேண்டும். இது ஆரம்பம் தான். விருதுடன் நாடு திரும்பியது மகிழ்ச்சி அளிக்கிறது. உங்கள் வரவேற்புக்கு மிகுந்த நன்றி.
தயவு செய்து எல்லோரும் போய் தூங்குங்குங்கள். நான் இங்குதான் இருக்கப் போகிறேன், உங்களுக்காக எப்போதும் இசைத்துக் கொண்டிருப்பேன்... நிம்மதியாக தூங்குங்கள்...என்று சொல்லிவிட்டு ரகுமான் வீட்டுக்குள் சென்றார்.
ரஹ்மானை நோக்கி ரசிகர்கள் ஜெய் ஹோ என்று உற்சாகத்தில் கத்த, பதிலுக்கு ரஹ்மானும் ஜெய் ஹோ என்றார்.
பேட்டி!..
அவரைச் சந்திக்க, சில நிருபர்கள் அந்த அதிகாலையிலும் வீட்டுக்குள் காத்திருந்தனர். அவர்களிடம் ரஹ்மான் கூறியதாவது:
இந்த இரண்டு விருதுகளையும் நான் இந்தியாவுக்கு சமர்ப்பணம் செய்கிறேன். ஒரு தமிழனாக இருந்து ஹாலிவுட் சென்று இந்த விருதை வாங்கி வந்திருப்பதை பெருமையாகக் கருதுகிறேன்.
என்னை தமிழன் என்று சொல்லிக் கொள்வதால் மொழி பேதம் பார்ப்பதாக நினைக்காதீர்கள். எனக்கு எல்லா மொழிகளும் ஒன்றுதான்.
ஆஸ்கர் வாங்கி விட்டதால் தொடர்ந்து தமிழில் இசையமைப்பேனா மாட்டேனா என்றெல்லாம் கேட்காதீர்கள். நான் பாலிவுட் சென்றாலும், ஹாலிவுட் சென்றாலும், எப்போதுமே தமிழுக்குதான் முக்கியத்துவம் கொடுப்பேன். எந்தச் சூழ்நிலையிலும் தமிழ்ப் படங்களுக்கு இசையமைப்பதை நிறுத்த மாட்டேன்.
தமிழ்ப் படங்களும் நிச்சயம் ஒருநாள் ஆஸ்கர் மேடையேறும்... என்றார் ரஹ்மான்

An Indira Vizha in Rahman’s name!
February 25, 2009
The audio launch of Indira Vizha was held today in the city. The film is directed by Rajeshwar and stars Srikanth (in a full fledged commercial movie after a long time) and Namitha. At the function, Balu Mahendra released the first copy of the CD which was received by Vairamuthu.
As expected, the actual purpose of the event was rather eclipsed by the joy that was brought by Rahman’s double Oscar victory. Speaking at the
function, Balu Mahendra reminisced about the first steps of Rahman into the music world. He recalled that he was the chairman of the jury deciding the National Awards in the year when both Roja and Devar Magan were released. He was in mental turmoil when both the movies were neck to neck when it came to the award for best music. Since he was a very close friend of Ilayaraja, he decided to stay away from the jury because he felt that his friendship might prevent him from making the right decision. But as fate would have it, the ballot by the rest of the jury turned out to be a deadlock and it was up to the chairman to bring in his casting ballot. It was a tough decision to make, but he put his trust in God and cast the vote in favor Rahman, hoping to spur the young man on to greater heights. Today, he said, that his 16 year old decision stood vindicated.
Vairamuthu said that he had been to Malaysia recently to attend an event. There he noticed that the traditional ‘Thamizh Thaai Vazhthu’ was being sung with different lines. When he enquired further he was told that the Malaysian government did not allow the original version to be sung because it had many references to the boundaries of India. Vairamuthu had promised all present there that he would come up with a new ‘Thamizh Thaai Vazhthu’ which could be sung by Tamils all over the world. But only when he came back did he realize the enormity of what he had committed to. He then spoke to Rahman about his promise and the response was quick. Rahman said that there could be no more prestigious work and that he would definitely do all that he can to be part of this effort. The ‘Thamizh thaai vazhthu’ with Vairamuthu’s lines and Rahman’s music can be expected soon.
Coming back to the main event, Indira Vizha has music by Yatheesh, a member of Yuvan Shankar Raja’s team. The movie is set for a summer release.

I wonder why he has to say this, but it shows his magnanimity
Illayaraja is above Oscar - AR Rahman
http://thatstamil.oneindia.in/movies...ar-rahman.html
AR Rahman said this in a press meet organized at Vadapalani(Chennai) Green-Park hotel where more than 400 members had turned up including pressmen, cinema artists, video cameramen and other technicians and this was telecasted live in most channels.
He also added that had IR tried a different strategy in promoting his music to the mass, he would have got an Oscar a long time ago and praised Illayaraja saying there is no boundries for Illayaraja's music and Oscar award is nothing compared to his genius in composing.
When asked if straight Indian movies could also win Oscar awards, Rahman said it is possible but there is a pattern/formula for impressing the jury at the Oscar and should our film makers crack that formula and play the right strings we could win Oscars for Indian movies as well.

27 Feb 2009, 1129 hrs IST, SUBHASH K JHA
A R Rahman on life after the Oscars
• What was the most exhilarating moment during the whole Oscar experience?
For me, those six kids from Slumdog Millionaire, who belong to a humble part of our own Mumbai; walking the red carpet with the highest-paid Hollywood stars at the Oscars was the highest moment. That to me was the truest display of the democratic spirit. Compared with that, my getting the Oscars is inconsequential. These kids didn’t even have a birth certificate in the first place but got their passports and visas within three days. That’s the real miracle. I would like to hand it to Danny Boyle and the producers for looking out for those kids.
• When did you return?
I came back to Chennai on Thursday morning and couldn’t believe what I saw. There were 5000-6000 people waiting for me at the airport. Everyone wanted to touch me, shake hands with me. I almost got killed by love. Now that I am home with my children, I feel strangely calm and euphoric. My mother, sister and wife were with me at the Oscars, but not my kids.
• To see you holding those two Oscars was a wonderful historic moment.
It was, wasn’t it? Earlier we missed it. Each time I would see those disappointed Indian faces after the Oscars, I wished that someone would go and get it for us. This time we cracked it. Resul Pookutty and I getting the Oscar have brought India into the centre of the popular culture. That’s a big high for me. I only wish Gulzar saab and Sukhwinder were there to share the moment with me.
• Why weren’t they there?
I wanted Gulzar saab to be there. The producers had sent him a ticket, but he hurt his shoulder and had to cancel the ticket. Anyway they called out Gulzar saab’s name on stage. I felt good about that.
• Were you surprised by the two Oscars?
I was numbed. 20 seconds after the announcement, I had to run backstage, get into my costume, put on my headset and perform like a rock star. To do all this gracefully was quite an achievement. I was sure, I wouldn’t get two Oscars. I just thought performing on stage was a great honour. But the funniest part was, while rehearsing at the Kodak Theatre, every time they would do the mock announcements, they would call out everyone’s names as winners except me. That made me sure I wasn’t getting the Oscars. I was prepared to clap for others. So when my name was announced, the joy was double. When the first Oscar was announced, I never dreamt I would get a second one, though the second one was more predictable. Everyone out there loves ‘Jai ho’.
• Would you say the Oscars are the highest moment of your life as an entertainer?
No. A year ago, I underwent a spiritual experience, which was far greater than all this glory can ever be. It happened during one of my pilgrimages. It made me calm. So all the good stuff that happened to me after Slumdog was like an offshoot of the experience I have had last year. My music is an extension of my spiritual aspirations.
• How do you look back on the last two months?
I didn’t expect the BAFTA. I thought t h e British had a different taste. But the impact of the movie and music is all-pervasive.
• Suddenly you have become one of them.
In LA and Hollywood, I felt the same way as a guy coming from a small town of India feels in Mumbai. But once I got to know them well, I found them as human as any ordinary person. Slumdog has impacted everyone’s life so much. I am looking at a couple of projects in Hollywood. I have to be very careful what I choose. I don’t want to end up as a one-hit wonder.
• How much time will you spend in the US now?
50 per cent of the year I might be there, the rest over here. Before I accept some offers there, I need to stay put in the US for some time. To do so, I might have to leave some movies in India.

Rahman honored by colleagues The Cine Musicians Union (CMU), one of the oldest unions in the film industry and the parent organization of all musicians on Sunday (March 1) honored the first ever Oscar winner in their fraternity A.R Rahman.
He said that it was not only God's blessings which saw him win the coveted Gold-plated statuettes but also saw him selected to collect them on behalf of his fellow Indian musicians.
“It’s the aspiration of all (the musicians) and God selected me to collect the award on their behalf. This award belongs to every person in the music industry,’ was Rahman’s theory on winning the Oscars. He repeated ‘Ella Pugazhum Iraivanuke’ (All Glory to the Almighty)," which he spoke at the Oscar awards ceremony last week.
Rahman added: “I used to wonder why Naushad, Ilayaraja, M.S Viswanathan, Madan Mohan and others did not get the awards. But they have people’s love, which is greater honor than the Oscars.”
The surprise of the evening was the presence of veteran Carnatic musician Balamurali Krishna, who was the chief guest and Ilayaraja, which set to rest speculation in the music world about their differences with Rahman.
Balamurali Krishna said: “The Oscars awards is a recognition of Rahman’s musical creativity and hard work”. Heaping laurels on Rahman, the maestro Ilayaraja said: “There are only a few who possess immense talent and still go on to make it big. Rahman is a phenomenal musician. If MSV is Athara Sruthi, I am Panchamam and Rahman is Panchamam”
On his part, veteran director K Balachander, who first introduced Rahman in his home production Roja, directed by Maniratnam, said: “Rahman is a rare genius. When other music composers make castles with their music, Rahman builds monuments’. MSV blessed Rahman with many more such awards and said it was a new beginning for the Indian music industry.
Rahman in his speech pleaded with his fans not to create hatred between the music directors by comparing them. Said Rahman: “ I have been seeing the hate mails flooding the net. I request my fans from degrading someone else’s music, the music lovers should stop making such comments and using abusive languages” Ilayaraja presented Rahman with a golden chain while Harris Jayaraj presented a golden ring to the Mozart of Madras.
The function was hosted by S A Rajkumar and Abu Gabriel of CMU. Among those who took part included Shankar Ganesh, Deva, Srikanth Deva Yuvanshankar Raja, Karthik Raja, Vijay Anthony, D Imman, T M Soundararajan, L R Eswari, Karthi, Chinmayi, Thippu, Chitra, Swarnalatha,Mano, drummer Shivamani among others....

இரட்டை ஆஸ்கர் விருது பெற்ற ரஹ்மானுக்கு இசைஞானி இளையராஜா தங்கச் சங்கிலி அணிவித்து வாழ்த்தினார்.
உலகின் மிகச் சிறந்த இசைக் கலைஞர்களுள் ஒருவர் ரஹ்மான் என பாராட்டினார் இளையராஜா.
சென்னையில் திரை இசைக் கலைஞர்கள் சங்கம் சார்பில் நடந்த பாராட்டு விழாவில், ரஹ்மானின் ஆஸ்கார் சாதனைகளைப் போதும் போதும் எனும் அளவுக்குப் பாராட்டியதோடு, ஆஸ்கர் வென்ற ரஹ்மானுக்கு தங்கச் சங்கிலி அணிவித்து தன் மகிழ்ச்சியையும் தெரிவித்துக் கொண்டார்.
'எம்எஸ்வி ஆதார ஸ்ருதி... நாங்கள் பஞ்சமங்கள்!':
ரஹ்மானைப் பாராட்டி அவர் பேசுகையில், 'உலகில் மிகச் சில இசையமைப்பாளர்களுக்குத்தான் அளவிட முடியாத திறமையும், அதை பெரிய அளவில் எடுத்துச் செல்லும் முயற்சியும் உள்ளது. அந்த மாதிரி அரிய கலைஞர்களில் ஒருவர். இசையமைப்பாளர்களில் அவர் ஒரு அரிய சாதனையாளர். அண்ணன் எம்எஸ்வி அவர்கள்தான் இந்த இசைத் துறையின் ஆதார ஸ்ருதி என்றால் நானும் தம்பி ரஹ்மானும் பஞ்சமங்கள்', என்றார் ராஜா.
விழாவில் ரஹ்மான் பேசியதாவது:
எல்லா புகழும் இறைவனுக்கே. எங்கப்பா ஆசியால்தான் எனக்கு ஆஸ்கார் விருது கிடைத்து இருப்பதாக எல்லோரும் சொல்கிறார்கள். அதுவும் உண்மைதான். அவர் பட்ட கஷ்டத்திற்கு நான் அறுவடை செய்திருக்கிறேன்.
கடந்த 10 வருடங்களாக ஒவ்வொரு முறை ஆஸ்கார் விருது வழங்கப்படும் போதும் சீனா, ஐப்பான், இத்தாலி ஆகிய நாட்டை சேர்ந்தவர்களுக்கே விருதுகள் கிடைத்து வந்தது.
ராஜாவின் இசை..:
அந்த விருதை இந்தியா வாங்க முடியாதா என்று பல முறை நினைத்து இருக்கிறேன். இங்கே இளையராஜா, எம்.எஸ். விஸ்வநாதன், கே.வி.மகாதேவன், நவுஷாத் போன்ற மேதைகள் எல்லாம் இருக்கிறார்கள்.
இளையராஜா மீது எவ்வளவு மரியாதை வைத்திருக்கிறீர்கள், வெளிநாடுகளில் அவர் இசைக்கு எந்த அளவு மரியாதை உள்ளது என்பதை நான் நேரில் பார்த்து பெருமிதப்பட்டிருக்கிறேன். இது ஆஸ்காரை விட பெரிய மரியாதை. ஆஸ்கருக்கு அப்பாற்பட்ட மிகச் சிறந்த மேதைகள் இவர்கள் எல்லோரும்.
இது எனக்குக் கிடைத்த விருதல்ல!:
எனக்கு நேரமே கிடைக்காத சூழ்நிலையில்தான் ஸ்லாம்டாக் மில்லினர் படத்திற்கு இசையமைத்தேன். அந்த படத்திற்கு நான் இசையமைக்க எடுத்துக்கொண்ட காலம் 3 வாரங்கள்தான். அந்த இசையை நான் ஆஸ்கருக்கு சமர்ப்பித்தபோது அமெரிக்கர்கள் எல்லாம் என்னைப் பார்த்து புன்னகைத்தார்கள்.
ரோஜா படத்திற்கு இசையமைத்தபோது அதன் பாடல்களை கேட்டு மற்றவர்கள் எல்லாம் எப்படி புன்னகைத்தார்களோ அதே போன்று புன்னகையை அந்த அமெரிக்கர்களின் முகத்தில் பார்த்தேன்.
ஆஸ்கார் விருதுகளை எனக்கு கிடைத்ததாக நான் நினைக்கவில்லை. இங்கிருக்கும் எம்.எஸ்.விஸ்வநாதன், இளையராஜா போன்ற பெரிய மேதைகளுக்கு கிடைத்த விருதாகவே கருதுகிறேன். பாலமுரளி கிருஷ்ணா பேசும்போது, இசையின் ஆழத்தை உணர முடிந்தது. இசையமைப்பாளர்கள் அனைவரும் பரந்த மனப்பான்மை கொண்டவர்களாக இருப்பதற்கு நன்றி.
ரஹ்மான் வைத்த குட்டு!:
இந்த சந்தோஷத்திலும் எனக்கு ஒரு வேதனை உண்டு. ஒவ்வொரு இசை கலைஞர்களுக்கும் குறிப்பிட்ட ரசிகர்கள் இருக்கிறார்கள். பல இணையத் தளங்களில் என்னை வாழ்த்துவதற்காக இன்னொருவரை தூற்ற வேண்டாம். என்னையும் இளையராஜா சாரையும் ஒப்பிட்டு மோசமாக சிலர் எழுதுவதைப் பார்க்கும்போது வேதனையாக உள்ளது. என் ரசிகர்களை நான் கேட்டுக்கொள்வது, தயவுசெய்து எல்லாம் யாரையும் திட்டாதீர்கள். ஒப்பிட்டுப் பேசாதீர்கள் என்றார் ரஹ்மான்.
ஹாரிஸ் ஜெயராஜ் மோதிரம் பரிசு!:
விழாவில் டாக்டர் பாலமுரளி கிருஷ்ணா, எம்.எஸ்.விஸ்வநாதன், பட அதிபர் ஏவி.எம்.சரவணன், இயக்குநர் கே.பாலசந்தர், இசையமைப்பாளர்கள் தேவா, வித்யாசாகர், ஹாரிஸ் ஜெயராஜ், பரத்வாஜ், தேவி ஸ்ரீபிரசாத், சங்கர் கணேஷ், யுவன்சங்க ராஜா, பின்னணி பாடகர்கள் டி.எம்.சவுந்தராஜன், மனோ, பாடகிகள் எல்.ஆர்.ஈஸ்வரி, எஸ்.ஜானகி ஆகியோரும் பேசினார்கள்.
நிகழ்ச்சியின் போது ஏ.ஆர்.ரகுமானுக்கு மோதிரம் அணிவித்தார் ஹாரிஸ் ஜெயராஜ். சங்கர் கணேஷ், ஏ.ஆர்.ரகுமானை கட்டிப்பிடித்து அவர் கன்னத்தில் முத்தம் கொடுத்தார்.
விழா குழு சார்பில் ஏ.ஆர்.ரகுமானுக்கு ரூ.2 லட்சம் மதிப்புள்ள வெள்ளியால் ஆன உலக உருண்டை நினைவு பரிசாக வழங்கப்பட்டது.

it takes a ARRahman to choose love over hate.........i think normal ARR fans have seen too much of hatred to even think abt choosing love........best tribute to thalaivar would be to forget those things but nobody including thalaivar can make us forgive some people/ some statements Originally Posted by Mahen

That's because he is used to it already. The academy has been very cruel to Elfman - just nominations, not even one win in his 20 odd years in the business. Such a great innovative composer. Remove him, and there are none of those wonderful Tim Burton films. Originally Posted by ajaybaskar

IR's speech was very cryptic. You really should read between the lines. But he really spent his time up there, and always urging folks to continue applauding. The usually stoic ARR broken down once, at the mention of his dad. But otherwise, he was cool as ever.

Dilbert,
He is 80 now. avaru vandhadhe evvalavu periya vishayum. :thank you: Sir! And he kissed ARR before leaving :P. ARR reaction was "pesunadhe marandhu pochu"
>>ennala nambave mudiyala to see PBS, TMS, LRE, SJ. I was literally flabbergasted! SPB illadhadhu thaan periya kurai. sila perukku idhu kooda puriyala this was conducted by cine musicians union and the only 2 odd personalities who shared the whole stadium and on the big stage was far-famed producer and a veteran director. That shows their greatness and contribution to TFI for the union to invite. Their presence itself a immense gratitude. andha producer sollumbodhe sonnar please dont be mistaken and he lists the three longtime contributors of TFI. adhu voru kutrama. voruthavaru attend pannave illai avara reconcile panna date fix panraangha

Enadhan ellarum vaazhthinaalum, all are humans. Atleast 30-40% of them would have that jealousy inside.
However, AVM saravanan was right that MSV did not get any national awards. It does not mean that his music was not upto the mark, the period when he was at his peak did not invite much south indians nationally.
The period when Ilayaraja was scoring the music india was new to globalization concept.
The period when Rahman rose, Globalization opened up and he made his talent heard all over the world.
Super Senior, Senior and Junior on one stage was an awesome sight.

ARR - SPB combo rocks. I think this combo should work on another superb song like Kadhal Rojave, instead of the blunt balelaka things.
But ARR's voice i say is next best. His high pitch singing is unbelievable. Does not break at any stage, superb clarity.

It was great watching the yesteryear music greats in one function! The most touching moment was during the speech of S.Janaki where ARR couldn't hide his emotions the moment she mentioned about his father! A very good video to cherish! It got a bit nostalgic myself after seeing the likes of TMS, PBS, S.Janaki, L.R. Eshwari etc. on TV after a loooong time

Had the previlege of seeing Rahman at Jamal Mohammed College, Trichy. He came there at 3:00 and left at 3:09. Nobody knew (the students) he was going to come there but about 5000 people assembled in front of the office in nine minutes. He handed over a Rs.1C check to their educational trust. 1C unFbelievable
The college dean, who is my friend's family friend later revealed that Rahman has been doing such stuff for the past 15 years with little or no publicity. What a man. Rahman, take a bow

Gautham starts another quickie!
By Moviebuzz | Thursday, 16 April , 2009, 18:54
The trendsetting director of Kollywood, Gautham Vasudeva Menon, has started yet another quickie which is a psychological thriller with no songs!
This film will have the entire crew of Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya and AR Rahman抯 background score.
This edge of the seat, psychotic untitled thriller has Sameera Reddy and new boy Veera in the lead. Veera is none other than Gautham抯 long time associate, the bearded and handsome Karthi who also handles the director抯 production work. The buzz is that Sameera took up the film as she was bowled over by Gautham抯 narration.
Last week, Gautham completed a good chunk of the shoot of the film on ECR, near Chennai. The ace director is changing genres with this film and showing he can do a taut thriller, that will keep the mercury rising.
At the same time, his Simbu- Trisha starrer Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya is almost 70 percent complete and after the New York shoot in May, the film will be ready for release in July.
Meanwhile Gautham has gifted himself a brand new Audi Q7, which only his favourite actor Suriya has in the Tamil industry.

A.R. Rahman
By Padma Lakshmi
Article
In India, a country of a billion inhabitants, where film and pop music are one, A.R. Rahman, 43, dominates the music industry so totally that he has supplied the sound track for a whole generation. He enjoys the godlike devotion of India's youth, but everyone from the street child who sweeps train platforms to the middle-aged doctor in Mumbai's posh Malabar Hill hums his tunes.
Born in Chennai (formerly Madras) and raised on Tamil movies and music, Rahman converted to Sufism — a mystical form of Islam — in the late 1980s. It is easy to hear these influences in his work, but his genius lies in tying many forms of music together to make a sound that is at once familiar and new. He first gained widespread notice for Mani Ratnam's Tamil film Roja (1992), then branched out into Hindi films and has succeeded in making Indian film music a global phenomenon. He has worked with Andrew Lloyd Webber and with Shekhar Kapur on Elizabeth and has influenced other gifted directors like Baz Luhrmann. This year he won two Oscars, a Golden Globe and a BAFTA for giving Slumdog Millionaire its frenetic sound.
Rahman is a shy and quiet man, but his music has emotional force. Renowned for his immense range, he'll do a traditional score for a conventional film, then blend exotic vocals with Japanese music and Western classical arrangements in his next project. A veritable Pied Piper, he has no competition, yet he makes it a priority to discover new talent and promote it. He has shaped modern India's music for more than a decade. Now the "Mozart of Madras" has the world's foot tapping along with him.

A R Rahman on Time 100 list
Friday, 01 May , 2009, 15:43
Oscar winning Indian music director A R Rahman, his Sri Lankan co-performer M.I.A. on Slumdog Millionaire and Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani have made it to the Time 100 list of the World's Most Influential People.
The new list to be published in the May 11 annual Time 100 issue is the pick of the magazine's editors and may not be confused with the popular choice in TIME.com's online poll that "just happened to be" on Monday by "moot - the mysterious 21-year-old creator of the influential Web message board 4chan.or".
"In our annual Time 100 issue, we do the impossible: name the people who most affect our world," said the editors as they relegated moot to the 35th position and instead chose ailing Democratic senator Edward Kennedy for the top spot.
British premier Gordon Brown makes it to the second spot, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is in the eighth place, Pakistan army chief Ashfaq Kayani is sitting pretty at the 19th position, just a spot ahead of President Barack Obama.
A R Rahman, who gets the 59th position in the editors list, "won two Oscars, a Golden Globe and a BAFTA for giving Slumdog Millionaire its frenetic sound", notes Padma Lakshmi actress, author and the host of Bravo's Top Chef, in an accompanying piece.
"In India, a country of a billion inhabitants, where film and pop music are one, A R Rahman, 43, dominates the music industry so totally that he has supplied the sound track for a whole generation," she writes.
"A veritable Pied Piper, he has shaped modern India's music for more than a decade. Now the 'Mozart of Madras' has the world's foot tapping along with him," adds Lakshmi, noting the award winning Jai Ho is now the campaign song for India's Congress Party.
Vikas Swarup, the author of the novel Q&A that became the Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire, describes Nandan Nilekani, placed 31, "as a middle-class kid from a small town, (who) rose to become a co-founder and co-chairman of Infosys Technologies and a key player in India's growth story".
"In a blog post about Slumdog Millionaire, Nandan Nilekani alluded to the film's valuable subtext - that it doesn't matter where you come from, only where you are headed," he writes. "That could serve equally as an epigraph for Nandan's own life."
"As the new India, fuelled by its robust democracy and favorable demographics, seeks to make the transition from a developing nation to a developed one, it will need the vision and talent of people like Nandan Nilekani," Swarup adds.
The great thing about M.I.A., as Maya Arulpragasam placed 43rd is known, "is that she doesn't have some global plan", writes producer director Spike Jonze.
"She just has things she cares about and is interested in, from all over the world... She reacts to whatever is in front of her: 'Those are booming Indian drums', 'That is a dope producer', 'Those kids are making sick beats'."
"And she has great taste. Anyone can hear all this stuff, but to be able to curate it, you have to have taste, and Maya Arulpragasam, 33, has it," he adds.

ARR Jai ho is not an original score. He copied from his own songs and composed Jai Ho. Jai ho song is more or less from Vijay's ATM first song - Unnal mudiyum unnal mudiyum song. tamil song is not a big hit. But when he got Oscar award, the Hindi Jai ho song became huge hit and even policial parties used this song.

India's A.R. Rahman strikes Grammys gold
(AFP) – 4 hours ago
LOS ANGELES — Indian composer A.R. Rahman scored a double triumph at the Grammy Awards here Sunday, scooping two early honors for his music from Oscar-winning film "Slumdog Millionaire."
Rahman won the first Grammy of the pre-show at the Staples Center in the best compilation soundtrack for a motion picture category before his "Jai Ho" won in the best motion picture song category moments later.
"This is insane, god is great again," Rahman said as he accepted his second award before a VIP audience.
Rahman's rivals in the soundtrack category included Steve Jordan for "Cadillac Records," Quentin Tarantino for "Inglourious Basterds", and the producers of "Twilight" and "True Blood."
In the best song category Rahman's beaten rivals included Bruce Springsteen for his song "The Wrestler," from the Oscar-nominated movie of the same name.
The Grammy success comes after Rahman earned two Oscars for his music in "Slumdog Millionaire" at last year's Academy Awards.
The talented music maestro picked up the best original score statuette before scooping the best song Oscar.

Ustad Amjad Ali Khan may have lost out on a Grammy [ Images ] win at the 52nd Grammy awards but the maestro is very happy for A R Rahman, who won two Grammies this year.
The Ustad was nominated in the Traditional World Music category for his album Ancient Sounds in collaboration with Iraqi oud artiste Rahim AlHaj.
Patcy N asks Ustadji about his loss.
Are you disappointed about losing at the Grammies?
No, not at all. I am happy that Rahman won an award because an Indian musician got it. Personally, I did not enter any kind of competition when we recorded the album Ancient Sounds in America, with Rahim AlHaj. We did not have any idea of the future of the album. The album's producer decided to enter the competition. I was not even aware until I was nominated.
You had said that the Grammy win was important because the sarod would become popular. Do you feel bad that the sarod may have to wait longer for attention?
I have been travelling for all over Europe and America for 20 years, so the sarod is already popular. Also, my country has given me many honours like the Padma Bhushan, Padma Vibhushan and a doctorate from Shantiniketan.
Douga Mansa won the Grammy in the category that you were nominated for. Have you heard his music?
No, I have never heard his work or the album which was nominated.
Do you think Rahman deserved the Grammy?
Yes. He is so young and committed to music. He has done a diploma from Trinity College. He gives a freshness to film music.
I like his music and the fact that he is young. The future of India [ Images ] is in the hands of young musicians, whether they are classical or film music composers.
I hope he creates more appealing and peaceful music for disturbed people so that they get peace and tranquillity. He will go a long way in life.
What are you working on right now?
I am writing orchestra symphony for the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, which will record in March in England [ Images ]. I also have some offers in collaborations. I think I should take them up to popularise my sarod. I am doing collaborations very late in life but I have realised that we have to show the world that we are one through music.

I heard the 127 hours soundtrack recently. Very minimalistic. I'd rate this higher than Slumdog, though genre-wise they are different. I wish the Indian filmakers would allow Rahman to do scores like that, instead of bombastic stuff spread all over the films.

The 2011 Oscar nominations were announced today (Tuesday, Jan. 25, 2011), and among the top nominees in the music categories were pop/rock notables Trent Reznor, the Nine Inch Nails frontman, and UK singer Dido with her brother Rollo Armstrong. The Oscars rounded up the usual suspects for Best Score nominations including A.R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer.
Reznor is nominated for best original score for the Facebook-inspired film, "The Social Network," along with his musical collaborator Atticus Ross. The duo released a sampler of the now popular score months before the release of the film. Reznor is known for his rebellious take on piracy, but has managed to build a remarkable resume of film score credits.
Dido received a best original song Oscar nomination for penning the "127 Hours" tune “If I Rise” along with the film’s composer A.R. Rahman. Rahman already won an Oscar for "Slumdog Millionaire," which was directed by Danny Boyle. Rahman is a double nominee, picking up a second nod for best original score for composing work on "127 Hours."
BEST SCORE
"127 Hours" - A.R. Rahman ("Slumdog Millionaire")
"How to Train Your Dragon" - John Powell
"Inception" - Hans Zimmer ("Pirates of the Caribbean" II, III; "The Lion King," and "Black Hawk Down")
"The King’s Speech" - Alexandre Desplat ("Lust, Caution" and "The Painted Veil")
"The Social Network" - Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross (other notable work includes rock group Nine Inch Nails)
Odds on favorites to win best score is between Hans Zimmer and Trent Reznor. Alexandre Desplat comes in at a close third. The economic blockbuster success of "Inception" might help Zimmer take the lead.
BEST SONG
“Coming Home” from Country Strong — Tom Douglas, Troy Verges and Hillary Lindsey
“I See the Light” from Tangled — Alan Menken, Glenn Slater
“If I Rise” from 127 Hours — A.R. Rahman, Dido, Rollo Armstrong
“We Belong Together” from Toy Story 3 — Randy Newman
Odds on favorite to win best song is "If I Rise."
