A.R.Rahman wins Golden Globe for ‘Slumdog’ score

Bollywood’s A.R. Rahman won a Golden Globe for his score in Danny Boyle’s “Slumdog Millionaire” on Sunday, becoming the first Indian composer to strike gold at the annual Hollywood awards.

“Slumdog,” which tells of a young man looking for love and competing for money on the Indian version of the television game show “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire”, also earned three other Golden Globes including best film drama.

Rahman, 43, had also been named best composer at the Critics’ Choice Awards in Los Angeles last week.

Known for his musical versatility — from romantic compositions to foot-tapping numbers, Rahman has innovated with different instruments and sounds to create some of India’s best-known musical hits for nearly two decades.

Despite earlier international credits such as the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical “Bombay Dreams”, it is Rahman’s work on British director Danny Boyle’s “Slumdog” that endeared him to Western critics.

The Golden Globe Awards are given out by some 90 members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. They are closely watched for clues as to which films might vie for Oscars, the world’s top movie awards given out in February by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Slumdog Millionaire

Jamal Malik, a penniless eighteen year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, is one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India’s “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” But when the show breaks for the night, suddenly, he is arrested on suspicion of cheating. After all, how could an uneducated street kid possibly know so much? Determined to get to the bottom of Jamal’s story, the jaded Police Inspector spends the night probing Jamal’s incredible past, from his riveting tales of the slums where he and his brother Salim survived by their wits to his hair-raising encounters with local gangs to his heartbreak over Latika, the unforgettable girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of Jamal’s increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the show’s seemingly impossible quizzes. But one question remains a mystery: what is this young man with no apparent desire for riches really doing on the game show? When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out
