A R Rahman’s good run this year extended a step further yesterday night when he won two (again!!) Filmfare awards, one for his peppy soundtracks of Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, and the other for his heroic background score of Jodhaa Akbar. With the award for Jaane Tu, Rahman scored a hat-trick of filmfare awards, having won the Best Music Director award the previous two years for Guru in 2008 and Rang De Basanti in 2007 respectively. Yesterday also marked the 25th Filmfare award for Rahman, taking into account his regional Filmfare Awards as well. Other awards in the music section were as follows.

Best Playback Singer (Male):  Sukhwinder Singh – Haule Haule (Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi)
Best Playback Singer (Female):  Shreya Ghoshal – Teri Ore (Singh is Kinng)
Best Lyricist:  Javed Akhtar – Jashn-e-Bahara (Jodhaa Akbar)
RD Burman Upcoming Musical Talent:  Benny Dayal – Kaise Mujhe (Ghajini)
