Danny Boyle's film won seven awards including the ones for Best film and Best Director, but giving India another achievement to be proud of was music composer A R Rahman who won the Award for the Best Music Score. The question that raised on CNN-IBN's Face The Nation was: Is A R Rahman the finest Indian music director ever? To try and answer the question on the panel of experts were: Music director for films Aamir and Dev D, Amit Trivedi and film critic Mayank Shekhar. Slumdog music Rahman's best work? A R Rahman has taken Indian to the world and his music for Slumdog Millionaire has been praised world over. However, people are wondering whether Rahman's music for the film been widely appreciated because it's his best music or because of the film's international appeal. Mayank Shekhar didn't believe the music ofSlumdog... is Rahman's finest work and in fact felt the music director has delivered better scores for other movies. He further said that the West has taken notice of Rahman due to Slumdog... and that is the reason for the attention on him. "You can't compare the soundtrack of Slumdog...with the soundtrack of even Delhi6 because it's inferior. A song like Ringa Ringa sounds like Choli ke peeche to me," he said. He further cited examples of Rahman's other work and said in the year 2008 itself he's done some exceptional soundtracks for films like Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na and Yuvraaj. However, Mayank Shekhar recalled Rahman's entry into the music industry and said he took the standards of music higher. Amit Trivedi agreed with Mayank Shekhar, but said it was a long overdue appreciation for Rahman. He considered Rahman an inspiration and said he's grown up listening to his music. In conclusion, Rahman's music speaks for itself and though Slumdog Millionaire has brought his work into focus to the West, awards can't define this maestro's greatness who time over has given inspirational music.
