Winner 2008 Golden Globe - Best Picture (Drama), Best Director - Danny Boyle, Best Orignal Music Score (Drama) A R Rahman, Best Screenplay (Drama) -
Well well here we go again and this time we have actually won an award. Still it took a Britisher to direct at what we see everyday - Slums and Dogs. The reasoning of the the film doing good at the awards is just as the Americans love their Heros - War, or some Super Natural Power possesor those films do get an award, and just like the Heros our slums and dirt and meyham of cows in the city roads is what the west always highlighted and enjoyed.
So at the awards A R Ruhman / nee Rahaman/ or Rehman they couldn't get it right and the guy who was the presenter who ever actor he is was more stunned when he read the winner, just as any Caucasian might have been when Obama won the Presidential race. A R Rahman as he is always media shy was really more amused and shocked when he received the award, that he was flushed knowing better that he was chosen ahead of Clint Eastwood who was also one of the contendor.
Knowing fully well that the speech would have to be short and not knowing all the people to thank on the tips of the tongue, he did the simple way by taking a small note, he could have done more that by just being his natural self which he is most of the time we have seen of him on TV.
The other surprise was seeing jumping jack Anil Kapoor just like the character of the Movie "Mashal" when Danny boy mentioned his name and to make sure that everybody saw in India that we too was there he was all jumpin', this I feel could have been more gracefully done by standing up and clapping hands but what the heck he knew that this was the moment and not many many Indian or for the fact Asians have been on a Golden globe award wiining team.
Shah Rukh was really out of sorts standing besides the elegantly dressed Ms.Frida Pinto, the tie was not there or it was like nasty school kids after a collar fight the collar and tie gone haywire and gestucalating with hands to someone from the stage as though he was on the sets of some movie. Sorry SRK you need to be more polished.
As for the the Director it was a great moment he made a movie and knew if it clicked he was on top and that he was, the Americans being jabbed in the belly, a glimpse of a lady below the stage after the Best movie as annouched lip synched "oh that is so wonderful" yes it was .
The stars was shinning and both the kids of the film were humble and quite excited being the main characters of the film and being in the limelight is what it will be for next few months, new contracts both Hollywood, Bollywood, maybe more woods and TV shows, mega bucks but remember kids it doesnt take long for this to disappear remember " Salaam Bombay" how a trust was made for the kids for their future and then what happened to them nobody knows where they are, so enjoy your fame and fortune roll baby roll.
As for the like of Tare Zammen Pe (TZP) not sure if can make the list for the Oscars, but of does than it will be double whammy if both the films win.
So India we can do it more than this, offcourse but this is not the end of movie making , some of the films and movie makers in India are so so talented and fantatic, movies that we have seen makes us really wonder who needs the west to acknowledge that we are good.
