Winners: Bollywood Hungama Surfers Choice Music Awards 2008
By Bollywood Hungama News Network, January 12, 2009 - 10:49 IST
Continuing its tradition of empowering our surfers, Bollywood Hungama brings to
you a first-of-its kind Music Awards, that's based on an online polling from
surfers across the globe. We are sure that even the late Abraham Lincoln must
be extremely happy with these awards, for these awards reflect his ideology,
which is, 'Of the people' and 'By the people'. The USP of these awards is that
there are no judges and panelists. It's YOU guys who have chosen the deserving
winner. Moreover, though online, this is also the First award ceremony for the
year 2008.

Best Soundtrack
Here's the first award, which is for the 'Best Soundtrack', and which quite
deservingly goes to Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na! The film's music was composed by none
other than music maestro A.R. Rahman himself. The soundtrack of this film
swayed back the listeners to a nostalgic trip of the melodious 'Qayamat Se
Qayamat Tak' days! Even though the chartbuster track 'Aditi' (sung by the
debutante Rashid Ali) got itself the honour of being hailed as the sweet love
anthem, all the other tracks in the album equally struck the right chord with
the listeners.
When Bollywood Hungama spoke to the legendary Rahman himself about this
achievement, he said, It feels really good when the hard work and sincerity one
puts in a song is appreciated. Thanks to your website
(www.bollywoodhungama.com) and all the voters for the love and the awards."
While Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na walked away with the top honours, we have the first
runner up in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (with Salim Sulaiman as its composers) and the
second runner up in Ghajini (Rahman again!). Even though the talented duo of
Salim-Sulaiman faced some early criticism, they sailed their way into the
hearts of the listeners 'Haule Haule'.
On the other hand, when you have the divine magical fingers of Rahman calling
the (musical) shots in Ghajini, one can never go wrong on the tracks that
simply gets (read 'mesmerizes') the listeners under its sway.
Based on the votes provided by our surfers and the validation done by us, the
Award for the 'Music Company of the Year' goes to T-Series. While the Award for
the 'Music Director of the Year' goes to A.R.Rahman.
