The soundtrack to the film was mainly composed by A.R. Rahman, who is an Indian film composer and record producer. He planned the score for over two months and completed it within two weeks. Danny Boyle chose Rahman because not only did he draw on Indian classical music, but he also brought R&B and hip-hop from America and house music from Europe to create an incredible fusion. Rahman won the 2009 Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score and won two out of three nominations for the Academy Awards. The soundtrack includes the popular Hindi song ‘Jai Ho’ which has entered the international lexicon and M.I.A, an English songwriter, recording artist and producer with a Sri Lankan Tamil origin. Film critic Goher Iqad Punn termed the soundtrack Rahman’s ‘magnum opus’ which will acquaint ‘the entire world’ with his artistry.
