Mozart of Madras, A R Rahman wins Critics’ Choice award for ‘If I Rise’ in ‘127 Hours’ film

Music maestro A R Rahman (also called, Mozart of Madras) bagged the best original song trophy at the 16th Critics’ Choice Awards for his number ‘If I Rise’ in Danny Boyle’s film ‘127 Hours’.

Written by Rollo Armstrong and American artiste Dido, the song was performed by Rahman and Dido, which is also expected to get Rahman his second Golden Globe this year.

Boyle, who went on to score eight Oscars with his last film ‘Slumdog Millionaire’, collaborated with Rahman again for ‘127 Hours’, a biopic on the life of mountain climber Aron Ralston.

Rahman, however, lost the best score trophy to Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross for their film ‘The Social Network’.
