They are lack of official recognition for background scores and lack of good film critics in India. Till date there is no category commenced in National Film Awards for best background score.
I dont think this is entirely true. National award is given for best music and not just songs. Jhonson got back to back national awards for his scores in Ponthan Mada and Sukrutham. For Sukrutham the song composer Bombay Ravi also won the national award. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Film_Award_for_Best_Music_Direction Johnson is affectionately called as the John Williams of Malayalam cinemafor his background scores; some of his best can be heard in Padmarajan movies like Namukku parkkan munthiri thoppukal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson_%28composer%29 On Dec 5, 2007 1:29 PM, sureshmechnit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > http://backgroundscore.blogspot.com/2007/12/rahmans-magic.html > > Also Read, > > http://sureshmehcnit.sulekha.com/blog/post/2007/12/listening-movies.htm > > > -- regards, ranjith
