Is it Resul Pookutty or ARR? I mean, I did not see the award ceremony live, but gooing by accepted tradition, award for technical category like Audio editing will be given first before coming on to the best score. In that case Resul would be first Indian to bag BAFTA, overcoming ARR by minutes..
I mean, I want to reduce too much of Dhrishty(Bad omen coming out of too much of praise) on ARR. Let him not be the first always, even in OSCARS. Just that let him win all , as of now. He still has miles to conquere. For ARR there is no limit.
