Product Description

CD Description

Slumdog Millionaire is the critically acclaimed film directed by Danny Boyle (Trainspotting). Winner of the 2008 Toronto Film Festival People’s Choice Award, Slumdog Millionaire is the story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India’s “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” The Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack features an original recording of Bollywood legend A. R. Rahman featuring M.I.A. entitled “O…Saya” in addition to the album version of “Paper Planes” and the DFA remix.

5.0 out of 5 stars Millionaire earns Rahman gold, 13 Jan 2009
By Mr. C. Patmore - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When it comes to Indian film music it is hard to beat A R Rahman to the beats. His compositions are easy for the western ear to appreciate as he brings in not only traditional and contemporary Indian melodies and rhythms, but also mixes them up with beats and instruments of modern Western music. He is so prolific and original in his composing that he is known as the Mozart of Madras in his homeland, and now, thanks to Danny Boyle's fantastic new film, Rahman's music is reaching a much wider audience, especially now he has won a Golden Globe for Best Score/Soundtrack. The music fits the film so perfectly, but also stands as music worth listening in its own right. And let's not forget that London's MIA also features on this album too. If you want to get a true flavour of Indian fusion music then this is a great place to start. And if you find you like the Rahman's sound then also check out the soundtrack for Taal - although there are plenty more he has done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!, 1 Feb 2009
By Jahanzeb Farooq (Denmark) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am so happy that finally one of world's best music composers gets his due in the west. With Slumdog Millionaire the legendary A.R.Rahman as always has given an utterly awesome and mindblowing album. The album is kind of an ambassador of Indian/Eastern music. Though for the western audience the sound is totally new, this is only one of nearly one hundred albums A.R.Rahman has given in his 16 years career. From overwhelming "O Saya" to vibrant "Jai Ho", every song is a gem in itself. The masterpiece work in "Mausam and Escape" and "Liquid Dance" gives a glimpse of immense talent the maestro got. The score is getting its due and A.R.Rahman has already won the prestigious Golden Globe award for it under the Best Original Score category. It has now been nominated for Oscars both in Best Original Score as well as double nominations under Best Original Song category (Jai Ho and O Saya..). M.I.A's Paper Planes comes as a bonus.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Winner, 12 Jan 2009
This soundtrack gets a 5 out of 5 from me just because....

(UPDATE 11 Jan---Composer A.R.Rehman has won a Golden Globe for this soundtrack)

1. O... Saya - is a track with punch and is simply an intro
2. Riots - is no deal breaker
3. Mausam & Escape - is better and inspiring
4. Paper Planes - M.I.A.
5. Paper Planes [DFA Remix] - M.I.A.
These two tracks are worth the money... a little bit of disco....a little bit of rap...( which work even better in the film)

6. Ringa Ringa
7. Liquid Dance

8. Latika's Theme - the feel good track
9. Aaj Ki Raat - sung by Alisha Chinai, Alisha Chinoy, Mahalaxmi Iyer, Sonu Nigam...some of the best names in Bolly..a cool pop song

10. Millionaire ---the theme song -----good

11. Gangsta Blues
12. Dreams on Fire
13. Jai Ho ......the ending and the uplifting track

All these tracks, as always work better with the movies

2.0 out of 5 stars Great Film - but the music?
It was a great film and having seen it, I then ordered the music. However, to be honest, the music, on its own to my 'western ears' was not up to much.
