Although it won an Oscar - Maurice Jarre's score is the the weakest thing in the movie by a country mile.

TCM in the UK is carrying a trailer for the movie using a portion of A. R. Rahmans score from SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE.

They seem perfectly suited a would definitely give the film a much deeper emotional impact.

What does "def" mean ?

"Thank God For Darwin"

I agree. It's hard to see how the score in any way reflects the story of a sexually hysterical woman in India in the 20s. It would be more appropriate to a boulevard comedy from the 50s.
