A R Rahman : Mozart of Asia
Once again A R Rahman can easily be called the 'Mozart of Asia.' He has proved his calibre by winning the coveted Golden Globe for his refreshing music in much-hyped Danny Boyle's "Slumdog Millionaire". Rahman's journey from the ad jingles to Jai Ho for which he received the award, has been terrific, as he has given us revolutionary music throughout his career. Since the day when this musician was approached by Mani Ratnam to compose music for Roja he has not looked back and performed in a fantastic way. The Chennai born music composer is the first to draw international attention.
His maiden stage production Bombay Dreams received warm response from the viewers in 2002. Besides, he composed background music for Oscar winning movie The Lord of the Ring.
It is just another feather in his glorious cap, where many more feathers are to be added. Hats off to A R Rahman for what he has done.
