And the National Award goes to...

The list of 65th National Award winners have been unfurled...

Village Rockstars grabbed the attention of many and late actress Sridevi got the Best Actress award!
Take Off, Baahubali 2, Bhayanakam, Irada, Walking with the Wind and Nagar Kirtan were the other notable names on the list.

Every field has multiple winners for various movies, but Music, an exception!

Both 'Best Music Direction' and 'Best Background Score' goes to 'Mozart of Madras' AR Rahman!!!
Best Music Direction for Mani Ratnam's Kaatru Veliyidai and Best Background Score for MOM!

When you take Kaatru Veliyidai and MOM, they failed to collect a huge out of Box office, yet they are musically rich!

• Kargil War (Opening scene)
• Snow Storm
• At jail (remembering the past)
• Van Chase after escape from jail
• Traveling to nowhere (in search of love) and much more...

There was an Islamic touch throughout the sequences at Pakistan.
Certainly, the album topped the iTunes chart of Indian subcontinent!
AR Rahman got Shashaa Tirupati her first National Award for Best Female Playback Singer, for her beautiful rendition in 'Vaan Varuvaan'!
Only AR Rahman can pick up the best and bring out their best! (The best examples are Unnikrishnan, Shankar Mahadevan, Udit Narayan, Naresh Iyer, Shreya Ghoshal, etc.)

Coming to MOM,

• 'Raakh Baaki' kickstarted (initial tune with "hey" chorus) in the opening scene at school, a perfect start to the film!
• 'Freaking Life' was really freaky like it's name with a Party scene on the go.
• The very next scene, where some strangers physically abuse Sridevi's daughter had a slow and horrific tune played at the background, that was quiet scary!
• The scene, when Sridevi chases one of the rapists, started with a racy BGM and suddenly drops down, when Sridevi crashes with another vehicle. What a changeover!
• When Sridevi goes to the homes of rapists secretly to plot their deaths, the music played at the backdrop of these scenes makes us feel nervous and sometimes jerks us off! 
• It gives us a feel that, as if we are there at that place! 
• An another scene, where Sridevi's daughter feels a sigh of relief (but unable to express her joy) after seeing the news of the death of one of the rapists (who spoiled her), the background score in this particular scene melted our hearts!
• 'O Sona Tere Liye', sung by ARR was soulful, and a best fitting track to that particular situation, when Sridevi's family goes on a trip to overcome the disasters, the hard times of their lives! The song stirs the heart and brings a peace of mind!
• The Climax scene, where the antagonist comes in search of Sridevi and her family to kill them had a different kind of horror tune, especially when Sridevi struggle to breathe (after her face was covered by the villain).
