Chennai, Jan 15 (PTI) Music maestro A R Rahman after receiving the coveted
Golden Globe award for Best Original Music Score for 'Slumdog Millionaire'
returned home in the early hours today to a rousing welcome of his fans and
well wishers.

musicians playing the 'Nadaswaram' and other folk artistes' performances were
in place to receive the musician.

the award with all Indians and Tamils. "Slumdog Millionaire reflected India and
its 'subject and content' encouraged one to come to the limelight despite being
from a humble background," he said.

jackpot in a quiz show, on the lines of 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' and is directed
by British filmmaker Danny Boyle.
