Music of Danny Boyle’s movie ‘Slumdog Crorepati’ released in Mumbai



Mumbai, Jan 8 (ANI): The music album of the Hindi version of Danny Boyle directed Hollywood movie ‘Slumdog Millionaire’, titled ‘Slumdog Crorepati’ was recently released here.

Both the English and Hindi versions of the movie are now ready for all India release.

‘Slumdog Millionaire’ has already made news winning three top honours at the British Independent Film Awards.

It was a star-studded event at the JW Marriott Hotel here with Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor along with other fellow cast members present.

"It’s a kind of role which I have never done before in my career. So it was very exciting. It has a lot of shades. Sometimes when you ask actors that what you think about the role, I can go on elaborating about it. But about this film, I can just say that it was great doing this role," said Anil Kapoor.

The music composed by A R Rahman is being touted as a great introduction to modern Indian and Bollywood music. According to Rahman, the film in itself is a masterpiece.

The soundtrack features various artistes, such as Suzanne D’Mello, Alka Yagnik, Ila Arun, Palakkad Sriram, Madhumitha, Sonu Nigam, Mahalakshmi Iyer, Alisha Chinai, Tanvi Shah and Sukhwinder Singh.

The story of ‘Slumdog Crorepati’ revolves round the life of an impoverished Indian teen named Jamal Malik, who becomes a contestant in the Hindi version of ‘Who Wants to be A Millionaire?’ and wins.

Since he is uneducated, his victory is suspected to be an instance of cheating. Those belonging to the clan of doubting Thomas deem it as one of proxy with embedded chips in his body to give the right answers in the contest!

Boyle is known for incorporating vibrant music in his films to capture the essence of each scene.

A R Rahman is reported to have done a wonderful job of portraying Jamal Malik’s journey from the slums of Mumbai to the elite strata of society with songs that are expected to become exceptional hits.
