Slumdog Millionaire swept the Oscars and won 8 out of the 9 categories it was nominated in. Resul Pookutty and Gulzar were the other winners from India.
In A.R.Rahman words:
---SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE SPECIAL---
To say life is full of surprises is a cliche, but being in the midst of numerous other assignments, when the sudden call from Danny came through, it was truly unexpected. and to know that Danny has been closely listening to my work caught me by another big surprise… slumdog… the soundtrack is a result of the mutual admiration we have for each other and was a blast to work on. it was also great fun working with M.I.A. she brings great flavor and energy to the soundtrack. hope you have the same experience listening to it as we did whilst creating it…. as Salim in the last reel of the film states……
" God is great".….Welcome to India "Danny Boyle Style"
....A R Rahman
