Bollywood"s
perfectionist
Aamir
Khan,
has
roped
in
the
Argentine
music
composer
Gustavo
Santaolalla
for
his
wife
Kiran
Rao"s
directorial
debut
film
Dhobi
Ghat.
The
Golden
Globe
Award
winner
Gustavo
is
well
known
for
scoring
music
for
the
films
Brokeback
Mountain,
Babel
and
The
Motorcycle
Diaries.
He
had
won
Academy
Awards
in
2005
and
2005
for
'Best
Original
Score" in
Brokeback
Mountain
and
Babel
respectively.
His
music
also
earned
him
the
Grammy
and
BAFTA
awards.
Now,
the
director
has
moved
to
Bollywood
in
order
to
offer
some
excellent
music
to
the
Indian
audience.
Speaking
about
his
visit
to
Mumbai,
Gustavo
said,
“Both
Kiran
and
Aamir
believed
that
I
can
give
perfect
music
to
the
film.
Kiran,
was
in
Los
Angeles
to
show
me
the
film.
I
liked
it
and
came
here."
In
case
of
the
film,
Brokeback
Mountain,
Gustavo
composed
the
music
by
just
going
through
the
script
and
meeting
the
director.
But
for
Dhobi
Ghat,
he
preferred
to
watch
the
film.
He
said,
“This
movie
is
a
reflection
of
the
identity
of
Mumbai.
I
liked
the
way
the
characters
are
presented
by
Kiran
in
the
film,
I
liked
the
story."
Gustavo
has
tried
to
give
the
Indian
feel
by
using
instruments
like
sarangi,
veena
and
the
Carnatic
flute.
The
composer
added,
“I
am
trying
to
combine
various
Indian
instruments
with
my
aesthetics
to
compose
music
that
goes
well
with
the
film
and
also
establishes
my
identity
as
an
artist."
He
further
added,
“I
never
knew
that
people
here
know
my
work
so
well
and
I
even
have
some
fans
here."
We
hope
that
the
music
of
Dhobi
Ghat
earns
him
more
Indian
fans!
