2 Oscars and 2 Grammys will certainly ensure that the music maestro A.R. Rahman is recognized by the world for his exemplary contribution to modern music. He deserved every bit of the recognition but what bothers me is that the western world recognized his skills for a movie like ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ which is certainly not one of his best. I still believe that 'Roja' & 'Bomabay' are two of his masterpiece. He should have been recognized for such compositions and not for ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ .
The spotlight received by ever humble A.R.Rahman may be a boon for India music industry which is culturally the richest treasure house of lyrics and music but is lost in the labyrinth of commercial and classical feud. I am sure in the coming years our Indian music will get an international platform and A.R.Rahman would always be remembered as the brilliant maestro who took our music to the international stage.
