Los Angeles: Music composer A.R. Rahman bagged the best original song trophy at the 16th Critics' Choice Awards for his number “If I Rise” in Danny Boyle's film 127 Hours. Written by Rollo Armstrong and American artiste Dido, the song was performed by Rahman and Dido. It is also expected to get Rahman his second Golden Globe this year.
Boyle, who went on to score eight Oscars with his Slumdog Millionaire, collaborated with Rahman again for 127 Hours, a biopic on the life of mountain climber Aron Ralston.
Rahman, however, lost the best score trophy to Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, who got it for their The Social Network.
The movie on the life of the Facebook founder also bagged top honours for the best film, the best director and the best adapted screenplay. — PTI
