Congrats A R Rahman on achieving the most deserving award for his talents, This is a moment of pride for every Indians and Indian film makers. This best explains the fact that when we deliver or expose our talents to global audiences, they will be honored definitely. We still hide most of the rare talents (not only in film making but in every other industry) that we inherit and they were never delivered or reached to the global audience. Time is changing and world has started recognizing the best talents that we have.
Few more facts that I would like to quote about A R Rahman, Western world is greatly impressed with the leisure work of talented Rahman (the music for this film was composed on rahmans holiday trip to London) and I was wondering, “how the world is going to react”?, if they are going to hear his most impressive works. I strongly believe that “this is just the beginning and there will be more to be honored for Rahman and the talented Indian film makers”.
I was constantly following the Academy award nominations for the year 2008 and have watched most of the films which were in the nominations under different categories; I was not taken by surprises when Slum dog millionaire took home 8 Academy awards. This film was welcomed in a great way by all the western people.
Well as a viewer who watched last year’s Academy award ceremony, I was not impressed with this year’s award ceremony as the function lacked elegance with the design of such an aesthetic stage giving us a feel of watching a Game show. Host of the show, Hugh Jackman (X-Men star) tried his best to present the most expected award ceremonies in a best way; he and the ceremony team could not succeed in it. Wishing the team best luck for a better show next year.

Esak,
Its very heartening that Rahman has won 2 awards this year. But the fact is that oscar is not the top award for excellence in tinsel town. Its just the most hyped one. Just the change in culture and globalization and media hype has nrought this award to the limelight.
I wont accept that all the movies nominated for oscars are better than some of our Indian movies. But we can never say they have been partial as it is the award of their land. Will we by any chance give award for a foreign movie here in India?
This movie has won the award just because it was a US movie where NRIs/Indians had played a hand. If this would have been just SLUMDOG CROREPATI (Indian, Hindi movie)instead of SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE will SLUMDOG CROREPATI still get the award??? I dont think so. But it would have won an Academic award in India. That doesnt mean the quality is poor. The battlefield and rules have changed. Thats it..
No matter the westerners honour it or not, the truth remains unchanged. We have the talent. And our people need to stop making hype about winning oscars and concentrate on their work while success will automatically knock their doors when it is due.
I dont think this will be a starting point for future awards or whatsoever.
But definitely this is something to be proud of.
