Records your comments


London: After getting Golden Globes and BAFTA awards, India’s star Music Director A R Rehman is hoping to get Oscars.

Rehman told reporters Sunday night after bagging the award for the best music, “It is a great feeling… It is getting better and better and let’s hope for the biggest one - the Oscars.”

Only two Indians have won the Oscar in its 80 year history - Satyajit Ray was given the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award in 1992 and Bhanu Athaiya won the best costume design Oscar along with John Mollo for the 1982 film “Gandhi.”

“I think it is important for people to know who the composer is. People started liking the music. It is a great feeling. So, I am giving it a try to satisfy them,” the composer added.

CONGRATS TO A R REHMAN & ALL PERSONS BEHIND THE FILM &TO ALL INDIAN.

It also earned Oscar nominations for best adapted screenplay, cinematography, editing, original score, sound editing and sound mixing. The movie also nabbed two out of the three nominations for best song for "Jai ho" (A.R. Rahman) and "O Saya" (A.R. Rahman and M.I.A.). 

"When we first began working on the film I don't think any of us ever imagined that we might end up attending the Oscars ceremony as a result," said the new star Dev Patel after hearing of the nominations. "I'm just so proud to be a part of this project and I have been overwhelmed by the positive reaction to the film," he said. Rahman, the film's composer, also expressed his appreciation for the nominations. "Slumdog Millionaire has paid magical dividends for so many people around the globe.

YOU CAN WIN


IF YOU THINK YOU are beaten;
  • you are;
If you think you dare not
  • you don't,
If you'd like to win,but think
  • you can't,
its almost a cinch 
  • you won't
If you think you will lose ,
  • you're lost,
For out in the world we find...

SUCCESS BEGINS WITH
  • a fellows will;
  • its all in a state of mind.
Life's battles don't always go
  • to the stronger or faster man;
But sooner or later,the man who wins
  • IS THE ONE WHO THINKS HE CAN !
