Slumdog Millionaire's Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle's father has praised AR Rahman's music in the movie, but is not too enthused about the film and dismissed it as just 'reasonable'.

Based in Radcliffe in Greater Manchester, 88-year-old Frank Boyle stayed up all night with family and friends watching his son's glory at the Oscars, but did not go over the top in his praise for the film.
