Batting ace Sachin Tendulkar is extremely elated by India's showing at the Oscars.
"It is a brilliant achievement. For the entire nation, it is a very proud moment," Tendulkar said this morning.
The master blaster, who had had a word with A R Rahman a couple of days ago, was confident that the musical genius will walk away with the honours.
"Rahman's contribution to music has been immense and this award is only a mere reflection of what he has been able to contribute to music and to India.
"I had spoken to him not only about this, but about other albums as well. He has always been able to produce something special in every album," Tendulkar said.
Rahman won two Oscars - for the best original score and the best song.

ReplyDeleteReport from Deccan Herald:
ReplyDeleteRahman won two Oscars — the Best Original Score and the Best Song for ‘Jai Ho’ — and a man named after a famous music director, and who himself is a great fan of Indian music, couldn’t hide his delight.
“He is brilliant,” gushed Sachin Tendulkar, named by dad Ramesh after the legendary Sachin Dev Burman. “I had spoken to him about this a couple of days ago, and I was confident he would get the award. I have been a big fan of his, his contribution to music has been immense and this award is only a mere reflection of what he has been able to contribute to music and to India.
“When I was speaking to him, we spoke not only about this song but all the music he has composed. He has always been special, he brings out something new every single time.”
The success of the movie itself, Tendulkar added, was a source of pride and joy for India. “I am very, very excited,” he said, looking every bit so. “It should be a proud moment for all of us and for India as it is the first time we have won so many Oscars.”
