Kailash Kher celebrated his 51st birthday on Sunday, July 7 in a unique style. He organized a bhandara where he distributed 200 kg laddoos and also released his new song, ‘Ishq Hai’. He also gave a few interviews and in one interaction, he talked about Indian cinema’s stint at the Oscars.
Kailash Kher talks about RRR’s Oscar honour; SLAMS Slumdog Millionaire’s Oscar win: “It showed Indians jumping into a pile of shit; DAMAGED our reputation”
While talking to Mid-Day, Kailash Kher blasted Slumdog Millionaire (2009) as he believed that it showed India in a negative light. Though he didn’t name the Danny Boyle-directorial, it’s clear which film he was referring to. He also applauded S S Rajamouli’s RRR and Baahubali for glorifying India’s culture.
Kailash Kher said, “I believe that the energy of the places, where the bigger Indian temples are situated, is the most prominent. The power of the south Indian temples has enabled movies from this part of the country to reach the Oscars. In the past, there was another film that reached the Oscars; one that showed Indians jumping into a pile of shit. Think about how much that damaged our reputation. But, films like RRR, which also make a reference to Lord Ram, are the ones that shone on [international turf]. I have never seen God’s music being played in movies. But, in films like Baahubali, such music was celebrated. These films also promote a good message. It isn’t like those that run for 20 years but have a shallow [message to propagate].”
Kailash Kher further added that his upbringing in an ashram in Rishikesh, in the company of saints, helped him to stand out, “I was never exposed to film music. So, when I entered the industry with the idea of showcasing my music, I introduced a fresh take [to Bollywood music]. Our successive five albums were hits.”
He continued, “Even though I have created both film and non-film music, I am known in my concerts for the latter. The reason I received the Padma Shri title in the short tenure of 12 years is because I could bring spiritual music to the mainstream, and change the course of the creation of romantic music.”
