MUSIC maestro A.R. Rahman created history by becoming the first Indian to win the Golden Globe award for his music score for Slumdog Millionaire at a prestigious award ceremony in Beverly Hills in California. Rahman’s song ‘Jai Ho’, penned by lyricist Gulzar, has won the coveted prize of Best Original Music Score at the Golden Globes. The film which depicts the story of a Mumbai underdog’s rags-to-riches run, is on a winning spree and has bagged four Golden Globe awards — Best Original Music Score for Rahman, Best Screenplay for Simon Beaufoy, Best Motion Picture — Drama for Christian Colson and Best Director for Danny Boyle. The film is based on a novel by Indian diplomat Vikash Swarup and stars Bollywood actors Anil Kapoor and Irrfan Khan in lead among others. The film has been shot
at various locations in Mumbai, including the railway Victoria
Terminus, which was targetted by terrorists on November 26, last year.
Boyle’s feel-good film depicts the moving story of a slumdweller
Jamaal, who goes on to win $20 million on Indian reality show Who
Wants to Be A Millionaire? in a bid to win his love back. With its
golden run at the Globe awards, Slumdog’s prospects at Oscar
awards next month have brightened. — PTI
