They simply cant keep bollywood out of the mix. It took some time to get the much needed recognition but now we see that even the OSCAR academy is considering songs from the Bollywood world. They say that Bollywood is synonymous with musicals. All the three nominations are those composed by AR Rahman. One movie that stood out last year (both in terms of music and direction/movie) was Rang De Basanti.
Rakeysh Mehra, director of "Basanti," says it was difficult to choose among the many songs in that film, but he went with Rahman's choices. Songs in 'Basanti,' are like the soul of the movie. UTV has submitted "Khalbali" and "Luka Chuppi" from the movie. Also, tune from the movie "Water" has been nominated as Canada's foreign-language candidate.
... hone hone de nasha, khone khone ko hai kya
ek saans mein pee ja, zara zindagi chadha
hai yeh toh ek jashan, tu thirakne de kadam
abhi saanson mein hai dam, abhi chalne de sitam
khalbali hai khalbali - hai khalbali
