இன்று இங்கு மழை நாள்
உனக்கு என் மேல் எப்போதும் காதல் இல்லை
எனக்கு இப்போது உன் மேல் காதல் இல்லை
ஆனால்
இது போன்ற ஒரு மழை நாளில்
உன் மேல் எனக்கு வந்த காதல் மட்டும்
இன்னும் காற்றில் ஈரமாய்... அதே இடத்தில்
என் மேல் மோதிய ஒரு மழை துளி சொன்னது

A.R. Rahman Grabs Oscar

A.R. Rahman

SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE

Best Original Music Score

ACCEPTANCE SPEECH

Before coming, I was excited and terrified. The last time I felt like that was during my marriage. There's a dialogue from a Hindi film called "Mere paas ma hai," which means "I have nothing but I have a mother," so mother's here, her blessings are there with me. I am grateful for her to have come all the way. And I want to thank the Academy for being so kind, all the jury members. I want to thank Sam Schwartz, I/D PR, all the crew of Slumdog, Mr. Gulzar, Raqueeb Alam, Blaaze, my musicians in Chennai and Mumbai. And I want to tell something in Tamil, which says, which I normally say after every award which is... "God is great." Thank you.

SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE

Best Song

"Jai Ho"
Music by A.R. Rahman; Lyric by Gulzar

ACCEPTANCE SPEECH

A.R. Rahman:
I just want to thank again the whole crew of Slumdog Millionaire, especially Danny Boyle for giving such a great opportunity. And the whole, all the people from Mumbai. The essence of the film which is about optimism and the power of hope in the lives, and all my life I had a choice of hate and love. I chose love and I'm here. God bless.
