People of Chennai broke into celebrations on Monday as its prodigy and music maestro Allah Rakkha Rahman made history becoming the first Indian to receive twin Oscars with his musical score in 'Slumdog Millionaire.'
Celebrations erupted in many parts of the city including Kodambakkam, home of Tamil film celebrities, where the 'Mozart of Madras' resides. As local FM networks went gaga with his top scores, Rahman's joyous fans, especially students, celebrated the feat by cutting cakes, distributing sweets, bursting crackers and dancing in parts of the city.
Rahman's family members and his fans cut a huge cake right in the middle of the street opposite his house in Kodambakkam and burst crackers. Students of several city colleges also joined the party by distributing sweets while the film fraternity, including leading singers, hailed his achievement.
Similar scenes of celebrations were witnessed at the house of Rahman's sister A R Rehana in nearby Virugambakkam. "We were just waiting for his name to be announced. I was praying to God at that time," an elated Rehana told PTI. "I always wanted him to talk in Tamil after receiving the award and that is the way he spoke; I am happy about it," an overwhelmed Rehana said.
