'What has Rahman done in Slumdog Millionaire to get an Oscar nomination?' Slumdog will definitely bag an Oscar or two. But that would be a shame. The sanctity of the Oscars was lost long ago, so Slumdog will not the only film that will show it down. There are many other films that deserve it more. I must mention A R Rahman. What has he done in Slumdog Millionaire to get an Oscar nomination? He is such a great musician, he has composed better music in other films. I am sure that he knows himself that he has done a very mediocre job here. The background score is a disaster. The song Jai Ho and its picturisation is another disaster. Why did the song need to be in the film? What a waste! It was very unnecessary for that song to be in the film; more so, to be shot in Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus. 'I don't think a film like this will ruin our country's worth' Rahman will get his cheque and continue making music and entertaining us. But the question is why waste your talent for money? Portraying India this way gives a very bad taste. India has always been looked upon from the fixed viewpoints of poverty, prostitution, crime, superstition and blind beliefs. But let me also tell you what I liked about the film. The technical aspects like camera work, shooting locations, and location management were well done. I will definitely show this film to my students to teach them camera angles. I am not being patriotic, I am just being reasonable. I don't think a film like this will ruin our country's worth. I think the world knows that India is not just about poverty and crime but has much more value than that. Full Article Recent Activity 79 New Members Visit Your Group New web site? Drive traffic now.
