ok. with that premise, let me try answering him.

Rahman does not composed music with intention to get awarded or
nominated. He composes music because he loves composing.

You are judging here. You are not giving reason why you disliked it.

You are judging here. You are not giving reason why you disliked it.

You are judging here. You are not giving reason why you disliked it.

Why should any song has to be in any film?
Why should any dialog, any music, any actor, actress has to be in any film?
Why do films get made?
Why do humans born.
Why God created Earth?
And -
why should everything has to have a reason?

Why shouldn't it be shot there?
Where else should it have been shot that you would have found acceptable.
And, ARR has nothing to with selection of location, cinematography,
actors, dialogs, etc. You seem to be under the impression that ARR is
producer/ director of the movie. No dear, ARR is not. He has only
composed music for the film.

Because, ARR is a human, God has given him bodily needs and earthly
responsibilities of a family, so he has to earn a livelihood.
It is just the way you are living your life and I am living my life and
everybody else is living their lives, in their respective commercial areas.

Right. But what has ARR's role in the above?

What?
Didn't you just say that you didn't like Jay Ho location?

What is meant by that? Could you cite some examples.

The unanswered question is:
"why he disliked /Slumdog Millionaire/." ????
