By now, all of us already now about 'Slumdog Millionaires' success at the Oscars. This was a culmination of sorts after all the awards the movie received at the BAFTA and Golden Globe. With all the attention Slumdog was receiving, it was not surprising that the movie won 8 oscars. And our own A R Rahman, has got the much deserved international

I'm in complete agreement with what you have just said. And it is indeed great that Rahman did. My argument is that - that piece of composition surely didnt. I would have been happier if he got it for any of his brilliant masterpiece compositions.

But you would probably say " He won. Hes recognized " But hasn't he been always? Does it require an oscar to assert his ability?

Oscar is Oscar

Sadly yes, I think.

For the question 'Does it require an oscar to assert his ability'.. philosophically no. commercially yes.

Oscar has become a benchmark. If Rahman's got it, he's benchmarked at a level.

Cant be always what we feel

I agree, that was not one of his best. He's recognized, he has won our hearts always and now he's reached a step ahead. Thats something we all have to feel great about.

I think its not about west recognizing him and really to feel great about them, its about winning among the many.
