Should A. R. Rahman Get Oscar?

A R Rahman is surely the most talented Bollywood musician of our time. He has brought fresh wind in the music industry in India. His works are now appreciated all over the world. There is a strong chance that A R Rahman could make all the way to Oscar! Why not? 3 out of the 56 songs of Oscar list belong A R Rahman. Indiafm reported:

It’s a double celebration time for music director A R Rehman as he will celebrate his birthday with the pleasure of being selected in Oscar’s short list. Three of his songs have made it to the Oscars short list of 56 songs.
‘Khalabali’ and ‘Lukka Chuppi’ from Rang De Basanti and ‘Chan-Chan’ from Water have been short listed for the 56 songs on the Oscar list. Lagaan’s music, however, has been eluded from the Oscar, something on which Rehman had more hopes.

That is quite an achievement. A. R. Rahman has taken Indian music to the global stage. He really deserves recognition from Oscar. An Oscar award will inspire Rahman to create more great music for Bollywood. He is really a terrific composer.
