MUMBAI: A.R. Rahman has reportedly won a Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Score for his music in Danny Boyle’s “Slumdog Millionaire”. The film tells the heart warming story of an 18-year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai who goes on to win a staggering Rs.20 million ($420,000) on India’s “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” game show.
Earlier this week, “Slumdog Millionaire” won two awards from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association – Best Director for Boyle and Best Music for Rahman. It also won the runner-up prize for Best Cinematography for Anthony Dod Mantle. Major part of “Slumdog Millionaire” was shot in Mumbai.
Currently playing in several major cities, “Slumdog Millionaire” will open in 87 additional theaters across North America Friday and bring its total theatre count to 165.
