Music legend A R Rahman became the first Indian to win the prestigious Golden
Globe Award. A Mumbai underdog’s rags-to-riches story, ‘Slumdog Millionaire’,
swept all the four categories it was nominated for, winning the best director
award for Boyle, the best music score for Rahman, best screenplay for Simon
Beaufoy and also in the category of best drama.
Rahman, who won the coveted prize for his music score ‘Jai Ho’ in the film,
thanked the director and his fellow musicians in Mumbai and Chennai, besides the
"billion people from India".
"Unbelievable..! I thought, I would not win, so anyways thanks to the almighty
God for bringing me here… Danny Boyle, Fox pictures, all my musicians in
Chennai, Mumbai,… and the billion people from India," he said while accepting
the award.
Director Danny Boyle bagged the best director award, while Simon Beaufoy won the
best screenplay award for the film that starred Bollywood actors Anil Kapoor,
Irrfan Khan and British Indian Dev Patel.
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who was at the ceremony to represent India,
introduced the film to the foreign audience with ‘Slumdog’ actress Frieda Pinto.
