AR - oscAR

At the time of writing this blog it was less than 12 hrs to decide whether AR has receive the pinnacle of glory... Should I really call Academy awards as pinnacle of glory(or even atleast for entertainment industry). My answer would be no .. But may be I should write a separate blog for that...
I really wish that he bags an oscar.He really deserves for the sort of work he has being doing for close to 2 decades now..By his work he has lifted the spirits of many an Indian ....So he deserves more . He has given Indian music a new identity and it is indeed ironical that he gets international recognition thru Slumdog movie.. Ironical? Some may ask y ironical . For some reason there is one scene in the Slumdog millionaire movie which remains etched in my memory. The scene in which the protagonist working as a tour guide takes two Americans on a ride to a slum and when the Americans r busy seeing places his friends would rob off everything possible from the car in which the Americans came.When they come back they would be shocked to see the car at which point the driver will catch hold of this guy and will hit him.The guy will say this is true India for u for which the Americans will lend him some bills and say this is true America for you.This turned me off ...Am I reading between the lines? Was it just a casual comment which should have been taken lightly? This is just a work of fiction and should be treated in a way it deserves.. May be some would say that I am not that mature enough to do so. But wat turned me off? Is it the fact that the movie is directed by a foreigner? Would have I accepted the same had it been directed by an Indian? ..... But anyway I pray that AR wins an oscAR and make India proud.. What a fitting tribute would that be? Coming from the same area where he is from in Chennai I am sure there will be a very big celebration.But let me not jump the trigger. Lets wait for "The Academy Award goes to ........ "
