Rahman's song 'Jai Ho,' penned by lyricist Gulzar, has won the coveted prize of Best Original Music Score at the Golden Globes.
The film which depicts the story of a Mumbai underdog's rags-to-riches run, is on a winning spree and has so far bagged three Golden Globe awards – Best Original Music
Score for Rahman, Best Screenplay for Simon Beaufoy and Best Director for Danny Boyle.
'Slumdog' is based on a novel by Indian diplomat Vikas Swarup and stars Bollywood actors Anil Kapoor and Irrfan Khan in lead among others.
The film has been shot at various locations in Mumbai, including the railway Victoria Terminus, which was targeted by terrorists on November 26, last year.
Boyle's feel-good film depicts the moving story of a slum dweller Jamaal, who goes on to win USD 20 million on Indian reality show 'Who Wants to Be A Millionaire?' in a bid to win his love back.
With its golden run at the Globe awards, 'Slumdog's prospects at Oscar awards next month have brightened.

Rehaman you are the best among music director of india,keep on going .proud 4 india.
Congratulation Mr.Rahman. You are proud of our country.
A Genius, who is unique but humble, has earned the prestigious award conferred on him. May he continue to be different in every music he scores as well. Well done and congratulations ARR.
Salute to your greatness and bringing us respect and happiness.
I congratulate from the core of my heart to Rehman and all the team and hope it will win OSCAR.
Its a shame a foreign filmmaker comes to Bombay, works on a indian's novel, makes a film with Indian actors, and wins golden globe, whereas our so called movie (masala) makers churning out hundreds of movies every year, could not make a movie worth nominating into main section for many decades. You know what is the difference..it is the bollywood LENSE..that these masala movie makers add to filter the reality in every aspect of film making. I have never seen such a contrast in movie making between the film and reality as I find in most of the worthless bollywood movies. Bollywood better start taking it as a form of the art, rather than money spinning machine feeding senseless violence and melodrama to the hapless billion. They forget you can make even bigger money if you make a good movie. But when you see such a deterioration in every walk of the life, how can film industry be left behind.
Greaaaaaaaaaat achievement. Rahman is a true genius..
Congratulations India
It's Rs.20 million and not the USD 20 million.
This is the power of being original and simple...
O man. This man is God. Congratulations...Keep it up Rahman
If Rahman's Melodyless music can wing Golden Globe award, I pity the jury who selected such music without melody. Rahman's music is not hummable second time unlike Shankar Jaikishna's/Naushad's. I think music has fallen from grace. If every year some one composes music for awards I think that is not music. Creativity can not come in every film music.
murthy baja apni ghanti and see what music it makes because thats the music which murthy likes
