A R Rahman wins Golden Globe award

Hi friends A.R RAHMAN makes history
A R Rahman has become the first Indian to win the prestigious Golden Globe Award. He won for the Best Original Music Score for the movie Slumdog Millionaire . The movie has also won the Best Screenplay and Best Director awards.

The song Jai Ho, penned by lyricist Gulzar, has won for Best Original Music Score.

The film, which has strong Indian connections has emerged as hot favourite at the Globe, which set the countdown for next month's Academy awards.

The film depicts the story of a Mumbai underdog's rags-to-riches run and earned three other
nominations -- Best Picture-Drama, Best Director for Boyle and Best Screenplay for Simon Beaufoy.

Beaufoy has won the award.

'Slumdog' is based on a novel by Indian diplomat Vikash Swarup and stars Bollywood actors Anil Kapoor and Irrfan Khan in lead among others.

The film has been shot at various locations in Mumbai including railway station Victoria Terminus, which was a targetted by terrorists on November 26, last year.

Boyle's feel-good film depicts the moving story of a slumdweller Jamaal, who goes on to win USD 20 million on Indian reality show

'Who Wants to Be A Millionaire?' in a bid to win his love back.

The film is facing a stiff competition from Brad Pitt's drama 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,' but if the pundits are to be believed Pitt's film could be pipped for Best Drama by 'Slumdog,' which has gained considerable momentum after sweeping the US Critics Choice Awards this week.
