Indian music maestro A R Rahman struck gold once again, bagging two trophies at the 52nd Grammy Awards here for his music in ”Slumdog Millionaire”. The composer, who has already won a Golden Globe and two Academy awards, registered win in both the categories he was nominated for. Rahman, 44, was the earliest winner in the best compilation soundtrack for a motion picture category and picked up another trophy for his song “Jai Ho” in the best motion picture song category moments later.

First let’s take off with the film ’s verdict that should probably save your time from reading this review itself. Of course, we believe reading this complete review is itself a waste of time if you have already booked the tickets.

First of all, a big round of applause for the director for introducing a new genre in Tamil film industry. Holly wood had it since long with movies like Hot Shots Naked Gun or Scary Movie series and Tamil television has beaten it to death. But a full length spoof running for more than two hours on big screen is really difficult to make considering the sensitivity of the industry people.

Stories on father-daughter relationship are rarely made in Tamil cinema . Filmmaker K S Ravikumar, who is known for commercial entertainers, has tried his hands at a touchy tale, however quite typical to his style . There is action, romance and sentiment in the movie which has a strong storyline too.
