ARR - Tujhe Salaam

ARR has won two oscar awards - for Best Original Score and Best Song (Jai Ho !)... Congrats ARR (as he is called in Tamilnadu or AR - only for people above Vindhyas he is Rahman)... You made India proud and that too with two awards...

The earlier winners were Bhanu Athaiya and Satyajit Ray... Resul Pookutty also joined ARR in winning the award for Best Sound Mixing..

But the question is - is Slumdog Millionaire best ever score by ARR - I personally dont think so.. His score in Roja was a great one - If a prize has to go for his songs - Thamizha Thamizha in Roja should get the award.. If it misses, then Uyire Uyire in Bombay should get.. Somehow that also misses, then Mustafa Mustafa in Kadhalar Dhinam, Anbendra Mazhaiyile in Minsara Kanavu, Kannathil Muthamittal in Kannathil Muthamittal. If everything misses, lets go to his hindi compositions - Chaiyya Chaiyya in Dil Se, Khwaja in Jodhaa Akbar, almost all songs in Lagaan and the list can go on and on....

If he had to win for best score, then we have Indian, Roja, Bombay, Lagaan and Taare Zameen Par.. Anyway, oscars are decided by the English who can't understand Hindi / Tamil...

However, for us, ARR has won Oscar years back and would make us enjoy with his music... Long live ARR... Tujhe Salaam.....
