Sound engineer Resul Pookutty became the third Indian to bring Oscar glory for India by winning the award for sound mixing in “Slumdog Millionaire”.
“I dedicate this award to my country. This is not just a sound award but a piece of history that has been handed over to me,” a beaming and emotional Pookutty said while dedicating the trophy to a billion Indians, Resul said
“I come from a country and civilisation that gave the world the word that precedes silence and is followed by more silence. That word is ‘Om’. So I dedicate this award to my country,” said Kerala-born sound technician.
Pookutty has won a BAFTA and a more recent Cinema Audio Society (CAS) awards for best sound
mixing. He is the first Indian to win the CAS award.
Resul Pookutty is the first Malayalee to win the Oscar award.

Gr8 dude.!!
Resul is also the first FTIIian to bring home the Oscar. Apart from that, the lesser known CAS award, actually carries more weight as is is judjed by a peer group of hundreds of top nautch sound engineers of our planet.
Resul - Jai ho!
