Of course, it was great to see the mass, mainstream exposure that Slumdog Millionaire got on Monday’s Oprah Post-Oscar show, with Danny Boyle, Dev Patel and Freida Pinto sitting down to chat about the film and the Oscar experience.
After a commercial break, Oprah announced the performance of the film’s song Jai Ho by, wait for it……. A R Rahmeen.
Argh.
Fair play to the Media Queen, when back from the subsequent break, she did correct herself before asking “the Mozart of Madras” what the meaning of “Jai ho” is.
