Desi Cartman Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 LOS ANGELES: Indian composer A R Rahman scored a double triumph at the Grammy Awards here, scooping two early honours for his music from Twitter Facebook Share Email Print Save Comment Oscar-winning film "Slumdog Millionaire". Rahman won the first Grammy of the pre-show at the Staples Center in the best compilation soundtrack for a motion picture category before his "Jai Ho" won in the best motion picture song category moments later. "This is insane, god is great again," Rahman said as he accepted his second award before a VIP audience. Rahman's rivals in the soundtrack category included Steve Jordan for "Cadillac Records," Quentin Tarantino for "Inglourious Basterds", and the producers of "Twilight" and "True Blood." In the best song category Rahman's beaten rivals included Bruce Springsteen for his song "The Wrestler", from the Oscar-nominated movie of the same name. The Grammy success comes after Rahman earned two Oscars for his music in "Slumdog Millionaire" at last year's Academy Awards. The talented music maestro picked up the best original score statuette before scooping the best song Oscar. :clap:
graphic23 Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 ARR :yay: Although he ought to realize that he attracted most people's attention with music that was genuinely Indian. His latest works have more western influence in them than Indian.

yoda Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 thought slumdog was last year's story. guess it is part of current grammy cycle?
satishg Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 hmm' date=' doesnt really deserve it.[/quote'] doesnt deserve it for Jai ho, yes! but as a musician he truly deserves this, he is a world class talent and it is a bit ironic that his mediocre song Jai ho is giving him all the awards, but he has created such mesmerizing music over the years that i wont complain what is giving him the recognition as long as he get it.
zubinpepsi Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 more importantly did he praise sukhwinder singh?? did he take him to the grammy awards??? did he feed him well???
achilles Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Great work, ARR. Proud of you :--D. I hope Sukhwinder Singh & Gulzar were invited, for once

siddhu Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 he definitely deserves a Grammy but not for any songs in Slumdog... some of his older songs are much much better. Roza, Taal, Lagaan etc...
Laaloo Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 out b4 the punjabi crew comes in and defends sukhwinder
