Jai Ho!

This is really the moment for any Indian to be proud of! One Indian made all of us proud - A R Rahman!! Do you know this is the podium where all stalwarts of the filming industry would like to end up one day! This is the place where Dons, my all time favorites, Denzel, De Niro, Jack Nicholson, Halle Berry, Tom Hanks stood with pride!

Now let me ask you this question? How many of you have listened to Jai Ho song from Slumdog Millionaire before it was nominated for oscars? I certainly would not say that Jai Ho is the best of Ar Rahman at any time!!! C'mon , i am sure you agree to that as well!!! isnt it so? The feeling of patriotism when you hear " Vande Mataram - Maa Tujhe Salam " is it there in this Jai Ho? Don't you think the BGM of Roja when the Hero ( arvindswamy) gets beaten up gives you the adernalin of patriotism to your nerves than those of Jai Ho! Certainly! What i am trying to say is that...AR R deserves an Oscar well before this slumdog millionaire! Not only that...Remember melodies of RD Burman? REmember the Maestro's performances....! It is Not only Ar Rahman... we had quite a Lot of music directors who deserves Oscars... but then they were not recognized well before due to the partiality shown in the place and people who had it produced.

Then whats so special with Slumdog Millionaire ????? Well, it is pretty obvious, it is produced , directed by a WESTERNER , It is being very well marketed... I am sure the Oscar team will consider this...Coz, what i see in their views is that... Yes, An Indian is being awarded an Oscar , but you know why? coz he has been moulded well by a westerner...! Ha haha..! If Oscar is truly international, then there are 100's of tunes that deserves an oscar those are produced Asians...The Oscar that AR R got, I would say, was the moment when he heard his Vande mataram being played during our Indian Independence day Parade!

One way I am happy that an Indian Alien (isnt that we are called so by Americans !) got the Oscars, proving to be better than most of the American musicians! but on the other side... I am very scared that we celebrate the Oscar awards more than the padmashri's awarded in India for the dedication in their respective fields....!!!

Take few minutes of your time...think, may be you will join hands with me soon in celebrating with me for the next padmashri awardees :)

Having said all this... ! This is my first time blogging boss!!! I am just expressing my views... I really dont want to hurt anyone or call for any heated discussions on this topic... !!! Its a free Blog...why shud i not write, what i feel ?!!!

JAI HO!
