Slumdog Millionaire - Other side of India well shownSlumdog Millionaire is movie from the cast of Fox Searchlight and directed by Danny Boyle (Director of Trainspotting, 28 Days later, Sunshine etc) and shot completely in India about an Indian story which is made out of Vikas Swarup's novel. It is an international production with music composed by none other than our very own AR Rahman.
Slumdog Millionaire is the story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who goes on to win a staggering 20 million rupees on India's "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" TV show, with no motive of money but with soul intention of getting back his love 'Latika'. The movie is all about how destiny is written already with a fairy tale ending.
AR Rehman's music has given life and soul to this brilliant movie. The sound track of this movie is just awesome. I have totally fallen in love with the sound tracks 'O Saya', 'Latika Theme' , 'Boys on the train' and 'Dreams on fire' already and listening to them again and again. This movie is a masterpiece from Danny Boyle and the maestro 'AR Rehman'.
Just get hold of a good bass speakers before you listen to this ''O Saya'' track sung by AR Rehman featuring M.I.A.
I would definitely love to watch ARRehman's score being nominated for Oscar and this movie being nominated for this year's Oscar. I would not be surprised if any of these happens. This movie is a treat to watch for the way this movie shows the other side of India so realistically with ARRehman's score doing wonders on Boyle's brilliant direction along with wonderful acting by the actors, though you can leave alone the fairy tale ending. Simon Beaufoy's screenplay of the Vikas Swarup's novel is bloody brilliant.
This film has already won lots of awards all around the world and nominated for 4 Golden Globe awards in different categories. Don't be surprised if this movie gets the Oscar for Best motion picture of the year and when AR Rahman gets the Oscar for Best original score for this movie. It has already won lots of awards around the world and nominated for 4 Golden globe awards which includes nomination for Best Original score by AR Rahman. Talks are that this film will be sweeping atleast 2 Oscars including one under category 'Best motion picture of the year' and 'Best Original Score'. Audience in Canada film festival gave standing ovation twice to this movie screening (once after the screening and another one after the credits) which is a rare thing in film festival.
