Slumdog is not the best work of A.R Rahman- Mahesh - Page 3

well yeah he's right their..this is not the best work of A.R Rahman..comparing to his earlier music like RDB,Jodha Akbar or be it the recent one Ghajni..the music is far better and soothing than that of slumdog millionare..and i dont like the songs esp tht haule se by Alka Yagnik..the jai ho one is still better

well first of all he may have made better soundtracks before but if Jodha Akbar wasn't submitted to the Oscars then what can they do?

Also people fail to realize that Slumdog got nominations in the musical awards because the background score and songs were relevant to the feel and essence of the movie. It complimented the visuals very well. He could have used the best composition he has ever made in the movie but if it doesn't fit the movie or the scene then it doesn't deserve a nomination or an award.

This isn't a grammies where best songs/albums win, we are talking about the songs and sounds as an aspect of the movie that it was used for and they perfectly accompanied the action that we saw. The way the M.I.A. song was used in the movie was just great. Also, at the end when they showed the Jai Ho song and the dance, it just blended so well. The sound, score and the music made the movie dynamic and engaging. It doesn't matter if the songs aren't good to listen on their own or if Rehman has composed better indivisual songs or albums.

Although Rahman has maybe produced far better songs in the past, but the background score that flows with slumdog is amazing. The soundtrack on its own might not amaze you, but you have to actualy watch the movie to understand how amazing the music is, which sychronises perfectly with the story and picture.

first of all I find his comments racist.. the way he says "white people" etc. It isn't PC and who says Hollywood is "white people's industry".. it has actors, technicians, producers, directors of all race and color.

Oscar jury is full of people from all over the world. They could be black, white, yellow, brown. So what "white connection" is he yapping about.

He has no problems stealing "white man's ideas" (his words not mine) but then tries to take a moral higher ground when they make a movie on India.
