Absolutely insane: The hand of god and etc

A very mediocre film with just above average music is winning awards after awards,  and obviously this is insane and more than the hand of god ought be in this.

In a country where any winner is idolized and put on a pedestal worthy for gods, at least till the hype lasts, it would not be politically wise to take a dig. That too if the winner is a Tamilian then any one from this part of the world ought to loose his democratic rights for otherwise, it would be viewed as worst as Blasphemy. So for safety sake let me start by writing my mind-  For being a fellow Indian and that too from my part of the nation, speaking the same tongue, I am happy of sorts that he is winning again and again, but sad that it is for the wrong song and even worst a wrong film. The film after the Oscars was released multilingual in India and it wasn't a dream ride. With most seats empty, the distributors though were not pushed to the slums perhaps lost some millions, even if not money, the hearts. If this was a local production, and screened and released as any other bolywood film, the film and the song would not have won  even plastic cups.

The hype and the mood at the right recession time gave a grand opening in the Oscars. And from then on, probably all other awards were respecting the Oscars and their decision making. And now after more than a year if the hype still continues and if it is still winning awards then it is probably just a reminder call.

We saw a very confident Rahman in the Grammy's who seemed to know what was coming[ he seemed he knew it even in Oscars], should use it for establishing his foothold in the west. He is right now not even playing music for Boyle's next film.

I remember the day when i was stunned after listening to the music of Roja. The whole state and beyond knew that a genius has arrived. And then many scores worthy of his genius occurred in the same year or the next. But after that somehow it all sound very familiar and same to my ears. Hope all western tunes don't resemble Jai ho for long.

As long as there is a slum to show, the west will buy it for millions. It is a pity that for a whole year they had no tunes which could win the hearts better than that from the slum. Now how do they keep the memory for the next year? Probably give Rahman a life time award?
