Quite right. ARR has done better work than 'Jai Ho'. Did India need a director from Hollywood to tell Indians what A.R.Rahman is capable of? If talent was to be recognized, then the films of Satyajit Ray's, Mrinal Sen's, etc would have been flooded by Academy Awards.

What is the film showcasing? The slums of India?? Does not make me proud.

Anyways congratulations to ARR and his colleagues.

Yeah Slumdog's music sucked IMO. A R Rahman has already made his best music long before.

Congrats to ARR, but like red_devil and digitized mentioned, he's belted out MUCH better compositions than SDM's Jai Ho.... I still cannot believe he got an Oscar for this. If there were nominations before for his songs, he would still be winning Oscars, but not for SDM. But, what saddens me is SDM also win in the Best Picture category I'm glad that Benjamin...... won the awards in the right category

Why Indian directors are not gettings Oscars?

Oscars are given to movies produced by Hollywood studios and not to movies done by studios in corners of earth. If Indian director want to make entry to oscars, he/she should collaborate with Hollywood studio and register the movie as Hollywood movie.

If you guys think that Indian movies should win more Oscars, then why can't Bangladeshi, Burmese, Afghan and other country movies win Filmfare or IIFA awards?? Why are Filmfare/IIFA awards given to movies made in Bollywood?

Why ARR got award for SDM when he made better work in the past?

Because earlier work was not under hollywood's umbrellas. For god's sake, they are awards for USA movie industry. And SDM's music is fresh air for Hollywood. We have been listening to ARR's music since we were wearing chaddi's. We have experience lot of his music and melody. This is the beginning for Hollywood for Rahman's magic. Now, listen to Music from other soundtracks and you will know why SDM Soundtrack got the award.

Yes.. Though the Oscars are not equal to the genius's musical knowledge and his past records, it gave an international recognition to the maestro for expanding our carnatic / hindustani musics to the world. Every Indian should proud of him.
