Ok, I've now heard the entire soundtrack and even without having seen the movie I can tell you that it'll be fantastic for the movie as a background score. I wont waste time writing a review on all the songs, I'll just write about the must-hear songs.
1. Oh Sayaa - Sung by A R Rehman and M.I.A. this one is a totally different track which will tell you how different this soundtrack is going to be as compared to Rehman's other work.
2. Mausam & Escape - Brilliant! Simply an amazing instrumental composition, which is a breath of fresh air in the world of congested sounds that we live in. With this track Rehman proves that he can actually develop music rather than just direct.
3. Paper Planes - By M.I.A. this one is an international smash hit single which Rehman has used in the album. A really nice song.
4. Paper Planes (DFA Mix) - A rehash of the previous song, gets a little more of a club feel to it.
5. Latika's Theme - Melody on display, that's what this soft instrumental is all about.
6. Jai Ho - Sukhwinder gives this album the first track which could have been on a normal Hindi film soundtrack.
A R Rehman will obviously sweep all the Indian awards this year... Jodhaa Akbar, Jaany Tu Ya Jaane Naa, Yuvvraaj and Ghajini were by far the best soundtracks this year. All four were chart topping albums and it's a sad thing that no other composition by any other music director comes even close to giving Rehman any competition in India. He's rightly been called The Mozart of India. He's been nominated for a Golden Globe and I hope he gets an Oscar nomination as well. Winning either of these would be a great thing. I really feel if any current Indian musician deserves a Grammy, it is A R Rehman. The guy is a genius!

Let me tell you, that movie is horrible, typical American "liberals" condescendingly portraying India. (I can stand American conservatives, at least they aren't condescendingly racist). For the same reason that Chinese people hated "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" as China's image to the world, any self-respecting Indian is going to end up hating Slumdog Millionaire (emphasis on self-respecting).
There is one scene: An Indian tour guide beats up the main kid for stealing/fraud in front of a "compassionate, civilized" American tourist couple. The American man "tames" the "animalistic, uncivilized" brown man, and the kid says to the tourists "You wanted to see the real India, this is it". The American lady takes the kid away from the guide and in her arms and says, "Well now you just saw the real America son."
Btw, my name is Sanket Alekar, a fellow Vincentian (if u remember)
But obviously u didn't review the movie, I'm just sayin it before hype starts getting to the good bloggers.. hehe
Few can forget a fellow Vincentian.. leave alone the likes of u Mr. Sanket Alekar :)
Thx for the heads up on the movie!
m not challenging rehman's authority here...but i feel SEL gave tough competition to ARR wit Rock On ths yr...and even Jannat by Pritam was more than very good...for once, i wud lik to c SEL win ths yr...Rock On ws a breakthrough and it deserves al the recognition it cn get...
There is nothing condescending about the movie. It is what it is. Are you telling you are not repelled by people shitting on tracks? And if it is shown on film then it is "condescending"? If there is a lack of infrastructure it is our problem not the movie makers. Fortunately, the director understands the complexity and didn't romanticise the poverty. The movie is by a British fellow. The scene you describe is a satire of how Americans do charity.
The movie portrays Indian poverty conditions in reality. It is really sad to note that some people fail to realise the reality and live in a false delusion and criticising the movie makers for coming up with a down-to-earth movie. "Real India" is shown in the movie. Digest it.
As for "Real America" .. I do not know.
