AR Rahman the 3rd Oscar winner of India

A R Rahman is considered one of the best music composer of India. He has an enormous contribution in the Indian music. He has a lot of extraordinary movement that has pushed and considered as outstanding music creators. I am a big fan of A R Rahman and like most all of his songs. He also presented the old lyrics by adding new rhythm.

TIO reported:

The 43-year-old composer, hailed in India as the Mozart of the Madras, won Oscars on Sunday for best original score and song, both from the movie 'Slumdog Millionaire'. "I was excited and terrified," the soft-spoken Rahman said as he collected his first Oscar, for best original score. "The last time I felt like that was during my marriage."

He is the third man who has rewarded Oscars as an Indian. The pioneers Bhanu Athaiya who has awarded Oscar for Gandhi and Satyajit Ray achievement award in 1992.
