A moment that told the world that Indian talent was well on its way in making its presence felt globally. The first word that came out of Rahman was ''Unbelievable'' followed by a chuckle. He pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket as he said he had a long list although he though he wouldn't win. Rahman thanked Almighty God for the award. His thank you list also had Danny Boyle, Fox Pictures and all his musicians in Chennai and Mumbai. Rahman thanked the billion people from India who were looking forward to his winning the award.
In addition to this Rahman had also won Six popular Awards for his compositions in Slumdog Millionaire. It was about a boy born and raised in the slums of Mumbai who eventually goes on to become a millionaire thanks to his winning the 'Who wants to be a millionaire' contest. The film was directed by Danny Boyle who also won a Golden Globe for Best Director. The film won two other awards as well – Best Picture and Best Screenplay (Simon Beaufoy).
It's sure that this dynamic musician's international journey has begun. Now with some of his innovative compositions that would enthrall world audiences will make the world bows down to India.
Hats off A R Rahman, you are simply awesome....
