Boyle's father lauds Rahman's music

London (PTI): Slumdog Millionaire's Oscar-winning director Danny
Boyle's father has praised AR Rahman's music in the movie, but is not
too enthused about the film and dismissed it as just "reasonable".

Based in Radcliffe in Greater Manchester, 88-year-old Frank Boyle
stayed up all night with family and friends watching his son's glory
at the Oscars, but did not go over the top in his praise for the film.
Slumdog Millionaire won eight Oscars awards with two going to AR Rahman.

He said: "I think it's reasonable. He is not making films for me. He
is making them for younger filmgoers so I won't say anything more
about it. I really liked the music I thought it was wonderful.

"I always knew that Danny would be successful but I never thought he
would be the number one director in the world. He has always been
interested in films. He got into it when he was a boy".

But Boyle's twin sister, Maria, is delighted by her brother's success.
She told The Daily Telegraph: "It was a tremendous night at the
Oscars, we've not spoken to him yet although we sent a text.

"We did speak to him on Monday afternoon and the kids were in a limo
on the way to the ceremony. It was fantastic to see him up there and
great that he spoke about us because he had a lot of people to thank.
I can't believe he referred to Radcliffe."
