Slumdog Millionaire sweeps Golden Globe

Finally an Indian has got the much reputed Golden Globe Award . Musical maestro A.R.Rahman has won the Golden globe award for best original score for the movie Slumdog millionaire which was shot in India .The movie has swept the lime light at the Golden Globe awards ceremony by winning in all the categories where it was nominated.

Slumdog Millionaire has lived up to its underdog theme at the Golden Globes, sweeping all four of its categories, including best drama and director for Danny Boyle.
India-based story of an underdog, the Danny Boyle-directed Slumdog Millionaire in on a winning spree, first bagging the award for the Best Film, Best Director (Danny Boyle), Best Screenplay category (Simon Beaufoy), and the Best Original Score (A R Rahman). It has also won the Globe for the Best Motion Picture.


Shot in Mumbai, Rahman's song Jai Ho has been penned by lyricist Gulzar."Your mad, pulsating affection for our film is much appreciated," said director Danny Boyle.
The film tells the story of a slum kid who participates in popular reality game show Kaun Banega Crorepati (Who Wants to be a Millionaire?) and wins Rs 2 crore in a bid to win his love interest back.
But the irony is that the movie is based on an Indian plot , which has to be directed by a foreign director and then only it could sweep the Golden Globe. Wake up bollywood !!!!!!!!!!
