 Mumbai, Feb 24 (PTI) Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, L K Advani today congratulated the team of 'Slumdog Millionaire', a rags-to-riches story of a Mumbai slum boy directed by British filmmaker Danny Boyle, for winning eight Oscars. "After the 26/11 terror attacks, Mumbai, the commercial and entertainment capital of India is once again in global focus. But this time, it is for a happy moment," Advani, a film buff himself, said at a party function here.The BJP leader said since he has not seen the film, he will not comment about the negative and positive responses it has evoked.
Advani said he was impressed by music composer A R Rahman since the time he heard the music of 'Roja' where the song 'Dil hai chota sa, choti si asha' was a huge success. "I was sure that Rahman will achieve much more success at international level. I am happy that the day has finally come," he said referring to the two Oscars won by Rahman for the 'Jai Ho' song. The 'Jai Ho' effect was felt in the function also as the Oscar winning song was played on the dais when Advani was felicitated with a silver conch and a bronze statue of Shivaji Maharaj.
