Rah-mania

I must say this.. i really must say this... 

I dunno why... jus a day after watchin Rahman recieve his Globe for score in Slumdog, i happened to watch Nicolas Cage's Lord of War movie with no idea that his composition for Bombay (the movie's soul-stirring Theme music) was used as a bgm for the movie.. n it was at a very important part of the movie.. the theme was absolutely in blend... i was jus very happy that this happened.. but i didnt think deeply at that.. jus thought it was a mere coincidence n carried on.. now this was more than a week back..

Today, i happened to watch Uma Thurman's The Accidental Husband.. n guess wat.. its not one.. but its THREE...!! yes.. 3 compositions of Rahman were used in the movie.. 

Yaaro Yarodi (Alai Payuthey)

Rang De (Thakshak) - both these in the course of the movie

Swasamae (Thenali) - n this one during the credits

I was very reluctant to watch this movie jus coz of its rating on IMDb.. but thought i would just watch for The Bride's sake... ofcourse, the movie aint that good... but that thing apart, i never really expected this to happen.. 3 of his compositions...!!? come on.. u must be kiddin me... now wat do i call this.. coincidence again...?? n this movie came into light not very long back.. but in October 2008.. jus at the time when Slumdog was creatin buzz at the film festivals across UK n the US... now this.. a coincidence again...?? 

And this song "Swasamae" has jus captured me all over again.. i used to listen to the song like crazy when it first released.. n now i'm jus as crazy.. so much that i repeatedly kept watchin the credits... this song too was in absoulte sync with the movie's plot.. n one interestin thing here.. can u imagine how the Americans would react on listening to the lyrics "Idadhu kannaale ahimsaigal seidhai.. valadhu kannaale vanmurai seidhai..." i mean.. its abt the meaning.. and also the fact it-sounds-so-differently-rhyming for them.. watever... :D

I do know that this aint a very big deal.. but dunno why.. i really gettin a feelin that Rahman will win an Oscar.. me comin across this has got nothin to do with the Oscar.. but.. i really dunno why.. 

psst: there was one very good scene in the movie though.. the male lead proposes a toast to The Bride.. yes.. Thurman plays a role of a bride in the movie.. coincidence again.. :D
