- Tu Bole Mein Boloon - A R Rahman

- Dil Se Niklegi - A R Rahman
- Desh Mere - A R Rahman
- Chale Chalo - A R Rahman
- Yeh Jo Des Hai Tera - A R Rahman
- Meherbaan - A R Rahman
Tu Bole Glass Adha Khaali,
Mein Boloon Adha Bhara
Mein Boloon Kithna Saara,
Tu Bole Zara Zara
Mein Boloon Din Hai To,
Tu Bole Raath Nahin
Baath To Wahin Hai Na,
Bas Wahin Baath Nahin
Baath To Hai Bas Yahin Hai,
Meri Baath Bas
Jaane Tu Jaane Tu Yeh Jaane Na
Maane Tu Maane Tu Yeh Maane Na..
Jaane Tu Jaane Tu Yeh Jaane Na..
Maane Tu.. Maane Tu Yeh Maane Na..
Tu Soche Yeh Zindagi Yeh Na Badlegi Kabhi
Mein Sochoon Sab Badaltha Hai, Yeh Na Badle Kabhi
Mein Socho Tu He Tu, Mera Koi Aur Nahin
Tu Soche Mein Hoon Tera, Bas Tera Koi Aur Nahin
Koi Aur Ho Ya Na Ho, Tu Hai Mein Hoon Bas
Jaane Tu Jaane Tu Yeh Jaane Na
Maane Tu Maane Tu Yeh Maane Na...
Jaane Tu Jaane Tu Yeh Jaane Na..
Maane Tu Maane Tu.. Yeh Maane Na...
Rehna Tu, Hai Jaisa Tu, Thoda Sa Dard Tu, Thoda Sukun
Rehna Tu, Hai Jaisa Tu..
Dheema Dheema Jhonka, Ya Phir Junoon
Thoda Sa Reshma, Tu Humdam Thoda Sa Khurdura
Kabhi Daud Jaye, Ya Lad Jaye, Ya Khushboo Se Bhara
Tujhe Badalna Na Chahoon, Rati Bhar Bhi Sanam
Bina Sajawat Milawat, Na Jyaada Na Hi Kaam
Tuhje Chaahon Jaisa Hai Tu
Mujhe Teree Barish Mein Beegna Hai Ghuljana Hai
Tujhe Chaahon Jaisa Hai Tu
Mujhe Tere Lapat Mein Jalna Rakh Ho Jana Hai
Tu Zakham De Agar, Marham Bhi Aakar Tu Lagaaye
Zakham Mein Bhi Mujhko Pyaar Aaye
Dariya O Dariya, Doobne De Mujhe Dariya
Doobne De Mujhe Dariya
Rehna Tu, Hai Jaisa Tu, Thoda Sa Dard Tu, Thoda Sukun
Rehna Tu, Hai Jaisa Tu..
Dheema Dheema Jhonka, Ya Phir Junoon
(Haath Tham Chalna Ho, To Dono Ke Daye Haath Sang Kaise) 2
Ek Daaya Hoga, Ek Baaiya Hoga
Thaam Le Haath Yeh Thaam Le, Chalna Hai Sang Tham Le
Rehna Tu, Hai Jaisa Tu, Thoda Sa Dard Tu, Thoda Sukun
Rehna Tu, Hai Jaisa Tu,
Dheema Dheema Jhonka, Ya Phir Junoon
Thoda Sa Reshma, Tu Humdam Thoda Sa Khurdura,
Kabhi Daud Jaye, Ya Lad Jaye, Ya Khushboo Se Bhara
Tujhe Badalna Na Chahoon, Rati Bhar Bhi Sanam
Bina Sajawat Milawat, Na Jyaada Na Hi Kaam
Tujhe Chaahon Jaisa Hai Tu
Mujhe Teri Barish Mein Beegna Hai Ghuljana Hai
Tujhe Chaahon Jaisa Hai Tu
Mujhe Teri Lapat Mein Jalna Rakh Ho Jana Hai
Dil Se Niklegi Na Mar Kar Bhi Watan Ki Ulfat
Meri Mitti Se Bhi Khushbuve Watan Na Aayegi
(Desh Mere Desh Mere Meri Jaan Hai Tu) 2
Desh Mere Desh Mere Meri Shaan Hai Tu
(Sunayi Thi Jo Bachpan Mein Wohi Lori Sunade Maa) 2
Tu Apni Ghod Mein Ab Chain Se Mujhko Sulade Maa
Teri Charnon Mein Sab Kuch Hum Lutaane Se Nahin Darrte
Desh Mere Desh Mere
(Desh Mere Desh Mere Meri Jaan Hai Tu) 2
(Desh Mere Desh Mere Meri Shaan Hai Tu) 2
Desh Mere Desh Mere
(Desh Mere Desh Mere Meri Jaan Hai Tu) 2
(Desh Mere Desh Mere Meri Shaan Hai Tu) 2
Mitta Ne Se Nahin Mitte
Mitta Ne Se Nahin Mitte Darrane Se Nahin Darrte
Watan Ke Naam Pe
Watan Ke Naam Pe Hum Sar Katane Se Nahin Darrte
Mitta Ne Se Nahin Mitte
(Desh Mere Desh Mere Meri Jaan Hai Tu) 2
(Desh Mere Desh Mere Meri Shaan Hai Tu) 2
Hazaron Khwaab Roshan Ke Sulagti Si Nigaahon Mein
Sulagti Si Nigaahon Mein
(Kafan Hum Baandh Ke Nikle Hai Azadi Ki Rahon Mein) 2
Nishaane Pe Jo Rehte Hai Nishaane Se Nahin Darrte
(Desh Mere Desh Mere Meri Jaan Hai Tu) 2
(Desh Mere Desh Mere Meri Shaan Hai Tu) 2
Hamari Ek Manzil Hai Hamara Ek Naara Hai
(Dharm Se Jaat Se Zyaada Humme Yeh Mulk Pyaara Hai) 2
Hum Is Pe Zindagi Apni Mittane Se Nahin Darrthe
(Desh Mere Desh Mere Meri Jaan Hai Tu) 2
(Desh Mere Desh Mere Meri Shaan Hai Tu) 2
Mitta Ne Se Nahin Mitte Darrane Se Nahin Darrte
Watan Ke Naam Pe
Watan Ke Naam Pe Hum Sar Katane Se Nahin Darrte

(Baar Baar Haan, Bolo Yaar Haan
Apni Jeet Ho, Unki Haar Haan) 2
Koi Humse Jeet Na Paave
Chale Chalo, Chale Chalo
Mit Jaave Jo Takraave, Chale Chalo
Bhale Ghor Andheraa Chhaave
Chale Chalo, Chale Chalo
Koi Raah Mein Na Thaam Jaawe, Chale Chalo
Toot Gayi Jo Ungli Utthi
Paanchon Mili To Ban Gaye Mutthi
Eka Badhta Hi Jaawe
Chale Chalo, Chale Chalo
Koi Kitna Bhi Bahekaave, Chale Chalo
Koi Humse Jeet Na Paave
Chale Chalo, Chale Chalo
Mit Jaave Jo Takraave, Chale Chalo
Koi Na Ab Roke Tujhe, Toke Tujhe
Tod De Bandhan Saare
Mila Hai Kya Hoke Tujhe Nirbal, Tu Hi Bataa
Kabhi Na Dukh Jhelenge, Khelenge
Aise Ke Dushman Haare
Ke Ab To Le Lenge, Himmat Ka Rasta
Dharti Hilaa Denge, Sab Ko Dikhaa Denge
Raja Hai Kya, Parja Hai Kya, Oh Oh Oh
Hum Jag Pe Chhaayenge, Ab Yeh Bataayenge
Hum Logon Ka Darja Hai Kya, Ho Oh Oh Oh
Baar Baar Haan, Bolo Yaar Haan
Apni Jeet Ho, Unki Haar Haan
Ab Darr Nahin Mann Mein Aave
Chale Chalo, Chale Chalo
Har Bedi Ab Khul Jaave, Chale Chalo
Chalaa Hi Chal, Haanf Nahin, Kaanp Nahin
Raah Mein Ab To Raahi
Thakan Ka Saanp Nahin Ab Tujhe Dasne Paaye
Vohi Jo Tera Haaqim Hai, Jaalim Hai
Ki Hai Jisne Tabaahi
Ghar Uska Pachhim Hai, Yahan Na Bas Mein Paaye
Dharti Hilaa Denge, Sab Ko Dikhaa Denge
Raja Hai Kya, Parja Hai Kya, Oh Oh Oh
Hum Jag Pe Chhaayenge, Ab Yeh Bataayenge
Hum Logon Ka Darja Hai Kya, Ho Oh Oh Oh
Jo Hona Hai, Ho Jaave
Chale Chalo, Chale Chalo
Ab Sar Na Koi Jhukaave, Chale Chalo
Koi Humse Jeet Na Paave
Chale Chalo, Chale Chalo
Mit Jaave Jo Takraave, Chale Chalo
Baar Baar Haan, Bolo Yaar Haan
Apni Jeet Ho, Unki Haar Haan
(Toot Gayi Jo Ungli Utthi
Paanchon Mili To Ban Gaye Mutthi)
(Ye Jo Des Hai Tera, Swades Hai Tera, Tujhe Hai Pukaaraâ¦
Ye Woh Bandhan Hai Jo Kabhi Toot Nahin Sakta) 2
Mitti Ki Jo Khushboo, Tu Kaise Bhoolaayega
Tu Chaahe Kahin Jaaye, Tu Laut Ke Aayega
Nayi Nayi Raahon Mein, Dabi Dabi Aahon Mein
Khoye Khoye Dilse Tere, Koyi Ye Kahega
Ye Jo Des Hai Tera, Swades Hai Tera, Tujhe Hai Pukaara
Ye Woh Bandhan Hai Jo Kabhi Toot Nahin Sakta
(Hmmâ¦hmmâ¦hmmâ¦hmmâ¦hmmâ¦)
Tujhse Zindagi, Hai Ye Keh Rahi
Sab Toh Paa Liya, Ab Hai Kya Kami
Yun Toh Saare Sukh Hai Barse
Par Door Tu Hai Apne Gharse
Aa Laut Chal Tu Ab Diwaane
Jahaan Koyi Toh Tujhe Apna Maane
Awaaz De Tujhe Bulaane, Wahi Des
Ye Jo Des Hai Tera, Swades Hai Tera, Tujhe Hai Pukaara
Ye Woh Bandhan Hai Jo Kabhi Toot Nahin Sakta
(Hmmâ¦hmmâ¦hmmâ¦hmmâ¦hmmâ¦)
Ye Pal Hai Wahi, Jis Mein Hai Chhupi
Koyi Ek Sadi, Saari Zindagi
Tu Na Poochh Raaste Mein Kaahe
Aaye Hain Is Tarha Do Raahein
Tu Hi Toh Hai Raah Jo Sujhaaye
Tu Hi Toh Hai Ab Jo Ye Bataaye
Chaahe Toh Kis Disha Mein Jaaye Wahi Des
Ye Jo Des Hai Tera, Swades Hai Tera, Tujhe Hai Pukaara
Ye Woh Bandhan Hai Jo Kabhi Toot Nahin Sakta
Hmmâ¦hmmâ¦hmmâ¦
Tu Hai Zubaa, Mein Hoon Bayaan
Tu Hai Nihaa, Mein Hoon Hayaa
Tu Hai Zubaa, Mein Hoon Bayaan
Tu Hai Nihaa, Mein Hoon Hayaa
Tere Bina Mein Hoon Bezubaan
Tere Bina Mein Beaasmaan
Tere Bina Mein Hoon Bezubaan
Tere Bina Mein Beaasmaan
Tu Hai Nadiyan, Mein Hoon Sangam
Tu Nayaa Saal, Mein Pehla Mausam
Tu Hai Nadiyan, Mein Hoon Sangam
Tu Nayaa Saal, Mein Pehla Mausam
Tere Bina Mein Hoon Bezameen
Tere Bina Mein Beaasmaan
Tere Bina Mein Hoon Bezameen Tere Bina..

Wafa Ka Diya Chalaayenge, Har Ghar Be Noor Bahenge
Tu Hai Nazar, Mein Nazaara

Allah Rakha Rahman (born 6 January 1966 as A. S. Dileep Kumar) is an Indian composer, singer-songwriter, music producer, musician, multi-instrumentalist and philanthropist.[3] Described as the world's most prominent and prolific film composer by Time,[4] his works are notable for integrating eastern classical music with electronic music sounds, world music genres and traditional orchestral arrangements. He has won two Academy Awards, two Grammy Awards, a BAFTA Award, a Golden Globe, four National Film Awards, fifteen Filmfare Awards, thirteen Filmfare Awards South in addition to numerous other awards and nominations. His extensive body of work for film and the stage earned him the nickname “the Mozart of Madras” and several Tamil commentators and fans have coined him the nickname Isai Puyal (English: Music Storm).[5] In 2009, Time placed Rahman in its list of World's Most Influential People.[6] The UK based World Music magazine Songlines named him one of 'Tomorrow's World Music Icons' in August 2011.[7]
Having set up his own in-house studio called Panchathan Record Inn at Chennai, arguably one of Asia’s most sophisticated and high-tech studios, Rahman's film scoring career began in the early 1990s with the Tamil film Roja. Working in India's various film industries, international cinema and theatre, Rahman has reportedly sold more than 300 million records worldwide of his film scores and soundtracks as of 2009 for over 100 film scores worldwide, making him one of the world's all-time top selling recording artists.[8][9][10] In a notable career spanning two decades, Rahman has garnered particular acclaim for redefining contemporary Indian film music and thus contributing to the success of several films. Rahman is currently one of the highest paid composers of the motion picture industry. He has also become a notable humanitarian and philanthropist, donating and raising money for beneficial causes and supporting charities.

Early life[link]
A. R. Rahman was born in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India to a musically affluent Mudaliar Tamil family.[11] His father R. K. Shekhar, was a film music composer and conductor for Tamil as well as Malayalam films. Rahman used to assist his father during recordings and play keyboard for the songs. Rahman lost his father at the age of 9 and his family had to rent out his father's musical equipment as their source of income.[12] Rahman was raised by his mother Kareema (born Kashturi).[13] During these formative years, Rahman served as a keyboard player and an arranger in bands such as "Roots", with childhood friend and percussionist Sivamani, John Anthony, Suresh Peters, JoJo and Raja.[3] Rahman is the founder of the Chennai-based rock group, "Nemesis Avenue".[14] He mastered various music instruments like Keyboard, Piano, Synthesizer, Harmonium and Guitar. His curiosity in Synthesizer in particular, increased because, he says, it was the "ideal combination of music and technology".
He began early training in music under Master Dhanraj.[15][16] At the age of 11, he started playing musical instruments in the orchestra of Malayalam composer and a close friend of Rahman's father, M. K. Arjunan.[17] Soon he started working with other composers such as M. S. Viswanathan, Ilaiyaraaja, Ramesh Naidu, Raj-Koti[16] and also accompanied Zakir Hussain, Kunnakudi Vaidyanathan and L. Shankar on world tours and obtained a scholarship with Trinity College, London, board of the Trinity College of Music.[13] Studying in Chennai, he graduated with graded examinations and a diploma in Western classical music via the college.[18] He was introduced to Qadiri Islam when his younger sister fell severely ill in 1984. Subsequently, Rahman along with other members of his family converted to Islam in 1989, when he was 23 years old. He changed his name from A. S. Dileep Kumar to Allah Rakha Rahman i.e. A. R. Rahman.[13][19]
Career[link]
Film scoring and soundtracks[link]
When he was nine, Rahman accidentally played a tune on piano during his father's recording for a film, which R. K. Shekhar later developed into a complete song, "Vellithen Kinnam Pol", for the Malayalam film Penpada. This track credited to his father, was sung by Jayachandran and penned by Bharanikkavu Sivakumar.[20] His film career began in 1992, when he started Panchathan Record Inn, a music recording and mixing studio attached to the backyard of his house. Over time it would become the most advanced recording studio in India,[21] and arguably one of Asia’s most sophisticated and high-tech studios.[22] He initially composed scores for documentaries, jingles for advertisements and Indian Television channels and other projects. In 1987 Rahman, then still known as Dileep got his first opportunity to compose jingles for new range of watches being launched by Allwyn.[23] In 1992, he was approached by film director Mani Ratnam to compose the score and soundtrack for Ratnam's Tamil film Roja.[21][24] The debut led Rahman to receive the Rajat Kamal (Silver Lotus) award for Best Music Director at the National Film Awards, an unprecedented win for a first-time film composer. Rahman has since been awarded the Silver Lotus three more times for Minsara Kanavu (Tamil) in 1997, Lagaan (Hindi) in 2002, Kannathil Muthamittal (Tamil) in 2003, the most ever by any composer.[25]
Roja's score met with high sales and acclaim in both its original and dubbed versions, led by the theme song "Chinna Chinna Aasai" bringing about a marked change in film music at the time. Rahman followed this with successful scores for Tamil–language films of the Chennai film industry including Ratnam's politically charged Bombay, the urbanite Kadhalan, Thiruda Thiruda and S. Shankar's debut film Gentleman, spurred by the popular dance song "Chikku Bukku Rayile".[26][27][28][29] Rahman worked with director Bharathiraaja's Kizhakku Cheemayile and Karuththamma, producing successful Tamil rural folk inspired scores and delivered the grand saxophonic score for K. Balachander's Duet.[30][31] The 1995 film Indira and the romantic comedies Mr. Romeo and Love Birds all gained him considerable notice.[32][33][34] His fanbase in Japan increased with Muthu 's success there.[35] His soundtracks gained him recognition in the Tamil Nadu film industry and around the world for his stylistic versatility incorporating Western classical, Carnatic and Tamil traditional/folk music traditions, jazz, reggae and rock music.[36][37][38][39] The soundtrack of Bombay sold 12 million copies worldwide.[40] The "Bombay Theme"—from Ratnam's Bombay—would later reappear in his score of Deepa Mehta's Fire and various compilations and media around the world. It was featured in the Palestinian film Divine Intervention in 2002, and in the Nicolas Cage film Lord of War, in 2005. Rangeela, directed by Ram Gopal Varma, marked Rahman's debut for Hindi-language films made in the Mumbai film industry.[41] Many successful scores for films including Dil Se.. and the percussive Taal followed.[42][43] Sufi mysticism would inspire the track "Chaiyya Chaiyya" from the former, as well as the composition "Zikr" from his score for the film Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose: The Forgotten Hero for which he created large symphonic orchestral and choral arrangements.[19] His score for the Chennai production Minsaara Kanavu garnered Rahman his second National Film Award for Best Music Direction in 1997, and a South FilmFare Award for Best Music Direction in a Tamil film, breaking a record with six consecutive wins in the latter category. Rahman would go onto win the award a further three consecutive times. Musical cues in scores for Sangamam and Iruvar employed Carnatic vocals and instruments such as the veena with leads of rock guitar and jazz.[44] In the 2000s Rahman created hit scores for Rajiv Menon's Kandukondain Kandukondain, Alaipayuthey, Ashutosh Gowariker's Swades and Rang De Basanti.[45] He composed songs with Hindustani motifs for Water (2005). By the end of 2003, Rahman had sold more than 150 million records of his film scores and soundtracks for over 50 film scores worldwide.[10][40][46]
Rahman has worked with Indian poets and lyricists such as Javed Akhtar, Gulzar, Vairamuthu and Vaali. He has consistently produced commercially successful soundtracks when collaborating with particular film directors such as Mani Ratnam, who he has worked with since Roja, and the director S. Shankar in the films Gentleman, Kadhalan, Indian, Jeans, Mudhalvan, Nayak, Boys, Sivaji and lately for Enthiran.[47]
In 2005, Rahman extended his Panchathan Record Inn studio by establishing AM Studios in Kodambakkam, Chennai, thereby creating the most cutting-edge studio in Asia.[48][49] In 2006, Rahman launched his own music label, KM Music.[50] Its first release was his score to the film Sillunu Oru Kaadhal.[51] Rahman scored the Mandarin language picture Warriors of Heaven and Earth in 2003 after researching and utilizing Chinese and Japanese classical music,[52] and won the Just Plain Folks Music Award For Best Music Album for his score of the 2006 film Varalaru (God Father).[53] He co-scored the Shekhar Kapur project and his first British film, Elizabeth: The Golden Age, in 2007.[54] He garnered an Asian Film Award nomination for Best Composer at the Hong Kong International Film Festival for his Jodhaa Akbar score.[55] His compositions have been sampled for other scores within India,[56] and appeared in such films as Inside Man, Lord of War, Divine Intervention and The Accidental Husband. In 2008, Rahman scored his first Hollywood picture, the comedy Couples Retreat released the next year, which won him the BMI London Award for Best Score.[57] Rahman scored the film Slumdog Millionaire in 2008, for which he won a Golden Globe and two Academy Awards, becoming the first Asian to do so. The songs "Jai Ho" and "O…Saya" from the soundtrack of this film met with commercial success internationally. In 2010, Rahman composed scores for the romance film Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa, blockbuster sci-fi romance film Enthiran and Danny Boyle's 127 Hours. Rahman started off the year 2011 by scoring Imtiaz Ali's musical film Rockstar. The soundtrack became a phenomenal success and earned Rahman immense critical praise.[58]
Performing and other projects[link]
Rahman has been involved in several projects aside from film. Vande Mataram, an album of his original compositions released on India's 50th anniversary of independence in 1997, enjoyed great commercial success.[59][60][61] Vande Mataram is the largest selling Indian non-film album to date.[62] He followed it up with an album for the Bharat Bala–directed video Jana Gana Mana, a conglomeration of performances by many leading exponents and artists of Indian classical music.[63] Rahman has written jingles for ads and composed several orchestrations for athletic events, television and internet media publications, documentaries and short films.[64] He frequently enlists the Czech Film Orchestra, Prague and the Chennai Strings Orchestra.
In 1999, Rahman partnered with choreographers Shobana and Prabhu Deva and a Tamil cinema dancing troupe to perform with Michael Jackson in Munich, Germany at his "Michael Jackson and Friends" concert.[65] In 2002, he composed the music for his maiden stage production, Bombay Dreams, commissioned by musical theatre composer Andrew Lloyd Webber.[66] Finnish folk music band Värttinä collaborated with Rahman to write the music for The Lord of the Rings theatre production and in 2004,[25] Rahman composed the piece "Raga's Dance" for Vanessa-Mae's album Choreography performed by Mae and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.[67]
Since 2004, Rahman has performed three successful world tours to audiences in Singapore, Australia, Malaysia, Dubai, the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States and India.[25][68] He has been collaborating with Karen David for her upcoming studio album. A two-disc soundtrack, Introducing A. R. Rahman (2006) featuring 25 of his pieces from Tamil film scores was released in May 2006,[69] and his non-film album, Connections was released on 12 December 2008.[70] Rahman also performed at the White House State dinner arranged by US President Barack Obama during the official visit of Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on November 24, 2009.[71] Rahman is one of over 70 artists who performed on "We Are the World 25 for Haiti", a charity single to raise emergency relief funds in the wake of the 2010 Haiti earthquake.[72] In 2010, Rahman composed "Jai Jai Garvi Gujarat" in honor of the 50th anniversary of the formation of Gujarat State,[73] "Semmozhiyaana Thamizh Mozhiyaam" as part of World Classical Tamil Conference 2010,[74] and the official theme song of the 2010 Commonwealth Games, "Jiyo Utho Bado Jeeto".[75] Rahman organised his first world tour, named A. R. Rahman Jai Ho Concert: The Journey Home World Tour, in 2010. The ongoing tour was kicked off on June 11 at the Nassau Coliseum in New York and will span 16 major cities worldwide.[76]
Some of his notable compositions were performed live by the London Philharmonic Orchestra in April 2010.[77] In February 2011, Rahman collaborated with Michael Bolton for his new studio album Gems – The Duets Collection.[78][79] Rahman reworked on his song "Sajna" from the 2009 American film Couples Retreat to create the track.[80]
On 20 May 2011, English musician Mick Jagger announced the formation of a new supergroup, SuperHeavy, which includes Dave Stewart, Joss Stone, Damian Marley, and Rahman.[81] The band's self-titled album is slated for release in September 2011.[82] The album will see Mick Jagger singing in Rahman's composition "Satyameva Jayate", which translates to "the truth alone triumphs".[83]
In January 2012, it was announced the German Film Orchestra Babelsberg would join KM Music Conservatory musicians in a 100-member concert tour of five Indian cities performing Rahman's compositions. The tour, named "Germany and India 2011–2012: Infinite Opportunities'. Classic Incantations", will mark the centenary of Indian cinema and of Studio Babelsberg, the world's oldest film studio.
Music style and impact[link]
Skilled in Carnatic music, Western classical, Hindustani music and the Qawwali style of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Rahman has been noted to write film songs that amalgamate elements of these music systems and other genres, layering instruments from differing music idioms in an improvisatory manner.[19][84] Symphonic orchestral themes have accompanied his scores, occasionally employing leitmotif. In the 1980s, Rahman recorded and played arrangements on monophonic sound, synonymous with the era of his musical predecessors K. V. Mahadevan and Vishwanathan–Ramamoorthy. In later years his methodology changed as he experimented with the fusion of traditional instruments with new electronic sounds and technology.[19][85]
Rahman's musical interests and outlook stem from his love of experimentation. Rahman's compositions, in the vein of past and contemporary Chennai film composers, bring out auteuristic uses of counterpoint, orchestration and the human voice, melding Indian pop music with unique timbre, forms and instrumentation. By virtue of these qualities, broad ranging lyrics and his syncretic style, the appeal of his music cuts across the spectrum of classes and cultures within Indian society.[86]
His first soundtrack for Roja was listed in Time's "10 Best Soundtracks" of all time in 2005. Film critic Richard Corliss felt the "astonishing debut work parades Rahman's gift for alchemizing outside influences until they are totally Tamil, totally Rahman."[87] Rahman's initial global reach is attributed to the South Asian diaspora. Described as one of the most innovative composers to ever work in the industry, his unique style and immense success transformed film music in the 1990s prompting several film producers to take film music more seriously.[88] The music producer Ron Fair considers Rahman to be "one of the world's great living composers in any medium".[89]
The director Baz Luhrmann notes
| “ | I had come to the music of A. R. Rahman through the emotional and haunting score of Bombay and the wit and celebration of Lagaan. But the more of AR's music I encountered the more I was to be amazed at the sheer diversity of styles: from swinging brass bands to triumphant anthems; from joyous pop to West-End musicals. Whatever the style, A. R. Rahman's music always possesses a profound sense of humanity and spirit, qualities that inspire me the most.[90] | ” |

An atheist through much of his childhood, in 1989 Rahman converted to Islam, the religion of his mother's family. After the early death of his father, his family went through hard times and Sufism had a great influence on his mother and slowly on his family.[115] During the 81st Academy Awards ceremony, he paid tribute to his mother, saying "There is a Hindi dialogue, mere pass ma hai, which means 'even if I have got nothing I have my mother here'."[116] He also began his own catchphrase, "Ella pughazhum iraivanukke", in Tamil which literally means "All praises dedicated to God". The phrase was popularized after Rahman uttered it prior to his speech at the 81st Academy Awards ceremony.[117]

Rahman is involved in various charitable causes. In 2004, he was appointed as the Global Ambassador of the Stop TB Partnership, a project by WHO.[25] He has shown support to charities including Save the Children, India, and worked with Yusuf Islam for his song "Indian Ocean". The song featured a-ha keyboard player Magne Furuholmen and drummer Travis, Neil Primrose. The proceeds of the song went towards helping orphans in Banda Aceh, that was affected by the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami.[118] He produced the single "We Can Make It Better" by Don Asian alongside Mukhtar Sahota.[119] In 2008, Rahman opened his KM Music Conservatory partnered with Audio Media Education facility to tutor and train aspiring musicians in vocals, instruments, music technology and sound design.

Artists and repertoire (A&R) is the division of a record label that is responsible for talent scouting and overseeing the artistic development of recording artists. It also acts as a liaison between artists and the record label; every activity involving artists to the point of album release is generally considered under the purview of, and responsibility of, A&R.
Contents |
Responsibilities[link]
Finding talent[link]
The A&R division is responsible for discovering new recording artists and bringing them to the record company. They are expected to understand the current tastes of the market and to be able to find artists that will be commercially successful. For this reason, A&R people are often young and many are musicians, music journalists or record producers.[1]
An A&R executive is authorized to offer a record contract, often in the form of a "deal memo": a short informal document that establishes a business relationship between the recording artist and the record company.[1] The actual contract negotiations will typically be carried out by rival entertainment lawyers hired by the musician's manager and the record company.[2]
A&R executives rely mostly on the word of mouth of trusted associates, critics and business contacts.[3] They also tend to favor bands that play in the same city that the record company is located.[3] Contrary to popular belief, their decisions are rarely based on unsolicited demo tapes sent by musicians (Citation needed). (However, major labels outside the United States and various independent labels may accept demos.)
Overseeing the recording process[link]
The A&R division oversees the recording process. This includes helping the artist to find the right record producer, scheduling time in a recording studio and advising the artist on all aspects of making a high-quality recording. They work with the artist to choose the best songs (i.e.repertoire) to record. For artists who do not write their own music, they will assist in finding songs and songwriters. A&R executives maintain contact with their counterparts at music publishing companies to get new songs and material from songwriters and producers.
As the record nears completion, the A&R department works closely with the artist to determine if the record is acceptable to the record company. This may include suggesting that new songs need to be written or that some tracks need re-recording. A key issue is whether the album has a single: a particular track which can be used to market the record on radio. As Tom Petty sang in "Into the great wide open", the industry cliché, "I don't hear a single!", refers to this process.
Assisting with marketing and promotion[link]
Once the record is completed, the A&R department (with assistance from marketing, promotion and the artist) chooses a single to help promote the record.
History and influence[link]
The tastes of particular A&R executives have influenced the course of music history. A&R man John H. Hammond discovered Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin and Bruce Springsteen. Hammond's colleagues were initially skeptical of these artists because none of them appeared to be creating "commercial" music. However, Hammond's instincts proved to be correct and these artists went on to sell hundreds of millions of records.[4] Geffen Records' Gary Gersh signed the band Nirvana at a time when alternative rock music was not considered commercial.[5] Gersh was able to convince his co-workers to push the record in spite of their misgivings.[6] In cases like these, A&R people have radically changed the direction of popular musical tastes and introduced large numbers of people to new sounds.
However, this kind of prescience is the exception, rather than the rule. Historically, A&R executives have tended to sign new artists that fit into recent trends and who resemble acts that are currently successful. This has caused several waves of similar sounding music, including teen pop (1998–2001), alternative rock (1993–1996), hair metal (1986–1991) and disco (1976–1978). This practice, however, can be counter-productive, since it has often led to a backlash. Towards the end of each wave record companies have found themselves faced with enormous losses as consumers' tastes changed. For example, at the end of the disco boom in 1978, millions of records were returned by record retailers, causing a deep recession in the music business that lasted until 1983, when Michael Jackson's Thriller finally brought the public back into record stores in large numbers.[7]
This trend-following mindset has taken even greater precedence as record companies have become more corporate and financially oriented. The general move towards more conservative and business-minded signings from the 1980s onwards is seen to be symptomatic of an industry where the most powerful figures are no longer music fans or people with musical backgrounds, but business people. Traditionally A&R executives were composers, arrangers and producers - Atlantic Records's heads Jerry Wexler and Ahmet Ertegun were producers and composers respectively - but an A&R with musical ability and knowledge has become a rarity, with Ron Fair and Martin Kierszenbaum being notable recent exceptions.[8] The composer and arranger Richard Niles has said,
"What you've got now is huge multinational companies where most of their A&R staff are businessmen. They’re people who look at music from the standpoint of marketing, not from the standpoint of music and talent. They will say, 'Go out and get me anything that’s popular now.'"[8]
Regional variations[link]
According to Rhythm King Records and Lizard King Records founder Martin Heath, the A&R community in the UK is more integrated than it is in the US, being very London-centric and encompassing a relatively small number of people.[9] "If scouts are chasing a band, you’ll see the same thirty people in one room. You get a herd mentality in the UK, but also some very diverse signings as well," he said in an interview with HitQuarters.[9] Heath believes that in the USA it is more typical for A&R to wait until a band is established - having attracted other offers or achieved a level of sales - before taking action, a technique which often works out as being more expensive.[9]

New forms of digital distribution have changed the relationship between consumers and the music they choose. Gerd Leonhard and others argue that the wide selection of music on digital services has allowed music consumers to bypass the traditional role of A&R.[10] In the wake of declining record sales, a large number of A&R staffers have been terminated.[11] It is unclear whether A&R executives will shape the future of musical tastes as they have in the past.

Early life and background[link]
Mani Ratnam was born in Madurai, Tamil Nadu.[2][7] His birth name is Gopala Ratnam Subramaniam.[8] His father, Ratnam Iyer, was a film producer who worked under the banner of production company, Venus Pictures.[9] Ratnam grew up in Chennai,[10] doing his schooling there completed his graduation with a degree in commerce from Madras University, Chennai[11] and then obtained an MBA from Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies,[12] after which he worked as a management consultant before becoming a filmmaker.[4]
Ratnam had two brothers—G. Venkateswaran and G. Srinivasan—both of them film producers. The former was a prominent personality who produced many of Ratnam's films, including Mouna Ragam, Nayagan, Agni Natchathiram, Thalapathi, and Anjali,[4] later committed suicide in 2003, reportedly because of financial problems.[13][9] His younger brother, G. Srinivasan died in an accident while trekking in Manali on 27 May 2007.[14] In 1988 Ratnam married Suhasini, the niece of Kamal Haasan and daughter of Charuhasan.[15][16] Suhasini is a National Award-winning actress and a well-known filmmaker as well.[16] They have a son named Nandhan.[17] Charuhasan, his father-in-law,[18] is a National Award-winning actor.[19] Ratnam lives in Alwarpet, Chennai, where he runs Madras Talkies, his production company.[20][21]
Career[link]
Early years: 1983–85[link]
Unlike many film-makers, Ratnam neither assisted in film-making nor worked as a cinematographer before making a name for himself in the industry.[22] He made his directorial debut in 1983 with the Kannada film Pallavi Anu Pallavi, which starred Anil Kapoor and Lakshmi.[23] The film explored the relationship between a young man and an older woman. Ratnam persuaded acclaimed director and cinematographer Balu Mahendra to serve as his cinematographer.[23] Ratnam's screenplay won a Karnataka State Film Award for Best Screenplay.[24] His second film was a Malayalam production titled Unaru. It explored the trade union problems in Kerala.[25] His next film, Pagal Nilavu starring Murali and Revathi, marked his directional debut in Tamil cinema.[26] The same year, he directed Idaya Kovil, a romantic drama which proved to be a major box-office success.[24]
Breakthrough: 1986–1991[link]
In 1986, Ratnam directed the Tamil romantic drama Mouna Ragam, which starred Revathi and Mohan. The film was critically acclaimed for portraying urban Tamils in a "realistic" manner.[27] Specifically, it told the story of the friction between a newlywed couple.[24] Its score by Ilaiyaraaja was highly appreciated and became popular upon release.[28] Mouna Raagam was subsequently dubbed into Telugu under the same title and became a hit in Andhra Pradesh.[29] The film elevated Ratnam's status as a director and won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Tamil at the 34th National Film Awards. Ratnam won his first Filmfare Award for Best Tamil Director for the film.[30][24]
In 1987, Ratnam directed Nayagan starring Kamal Haasan, and the film became a huge success and brought him recognition at the national level.[27][31] Inspired by the 1972 American epic crime film, The Godfather,[32][4] the film was based on the real-life story of underworld king Varadarajan Mudaliar,[33][27] and tells the story of an orphaned slum-dweller and his rise to top of the Mumbai underworld hierarchy,[28] was included in Time magazine's All-Time 100 Greatest Movies in 2005.[6] Satyajit Ray's The Apu Trilogy and Guru Dutt's Pyaasa are the only other Indian films that have appeared in the list.[34] Indian critics dubbed the film as India's answer to The Godfather.[35][36][37] Nayagan was both commercially successful and critically acclaimed winning three National Awards—Best Actor, Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction—at the 35th National Film Awards.[31][28] The film was India's official entry to the Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film at the 60th Academy Awards.[38]
Following these two commercial successes, Ratnam wrote and directed Agni Natchathiram in 1988.[39] The film deals with the story of step-brothers played by Prabhu and Karthik[28] and is notable for its use of new techniques in camera framework, especially during the songs.[40] The film had a successful run in the box office.[4][39]
In 1989 Ratnam opted to make his next project, Geethanjali, his maiden venture in Telugu.[31] Starring Nagarjuna in the lead role, the film told the story of an ill-fated couple, both of whom are suffering from terminal diseases.[4] Geethanjali was critically acclaimed and won the National Film Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment in 1990 and fetched the Nandi Award for Best Story Writer for Ratnam.[41] Ratnam maintained a momentum of making emotional stories of under-served people through the film Anjali in 1990, which starred Raghuvaran and told the story of an autistic child who changed the lives of people around her.[42] The film proved to be a commercial success and was nominated as India's official entry to the Oscars in the Best Foreign Language Film category at the 63rd Academy Awards.[42][43] Following Anjali's release, Ratnam later made another underworld-themed Tamil film, Thalapathi (1991), starring Rajinikanth and Mammootty.[44] The film was an adaptation of Mahabharata, dealt with the friendship between Karna and Duryodhana portrayed by Rajinikanth and Mammmooty respectively.[45] The film met with both critical acclaim and commercial success upon release.[46] Ilaiyaraaja's musical score and Ratnam's work were highly appreciated as they both went on to win the Music Director and Best Director awards respectively at the 39th Filmfare Awards.[47]
International acclaim: 1992–99[link]
With Thalapathi, Mani Ratnam ended his long-term association with music director Ilaiyaraaja, bringing in debutant music director A. R. Rahman to score his Tamil classic Roja (1992). The venture was successful, earning Ratnam various awards. Roja, a romantic film, was about terrorism in the Kashmir region.[4] Starring Arvind Swamy and Madhoo, it was nominated for the Golden St. George Award at the Moscow International Film Festival.[48] It became highly popular, gaining an iconic status in Indian cinema and was dubbed into other languages and met similar success in other regions.[49] Ratnam took a more light-hearted approach with his next film —Thiruda Thiruda (1993). Scripted by Ram Gopal Varma,[50] it explored the action and thriller genres,[51] was a departure from Ratnam's previous style, did not fare well at the box office. A retrospective of his Tamil films was held at the Toronto International Film Festival in 1994.[2]
Ratnam again teamed up with Ram Gopal Varma to provide the screenplay for the latter's Telugu film Gaayam, a socio-politico film loosely based on The Godfather.[52] In 1995, Ratnam returned to Tamil language drama through Bombay starring Arvind Swamy and Manisha Koirala, which told the story of a Hindu-Muslim couple in the midst of the 1993 religious Bombay riots and bombings. It was also the first Indian film to focus on marriage between Hindu and Muslim people.[53] The film met with controversy and censorship upon release,[53] was subsequently dubbed into Hindi and was commercially and successful and appreciated by critics.[31] It won a number of awards, such as Nargis Dutt Award for Best Feature Film on National Integration, Special Award from the Political Film Society,[54] In the Spirit of Freedom Award at the Jerusalem International Film Festival[55] and the Gala Award at the Edinburgh International Film Festival.[56]
Ratnam produced his wife's directorial debut film, Indira,[57] and the critical success Iruvar, his next film as director. Iruvar was honoured the Best Film at the "Festival of the Auteur Films" at the FEST film festival held in Belgrade.[58] In 1998 came the third part of his "terrorism trilogy", named Dil Se.. and starring Shahrukh Khan and Manisha Koirala, with the latter fabricating the second collaboration.[59] It showed the relationship between a young man and a dangerous, disturbed woman. Although they fall in love, she is unable to take the romance further due to her bleak past. The soundtrack album, again composed by A. R. Rahman, gained mass appeal and gave Rahman his next Filmfare Award for Best Music Direction in 1999.[60][61] Unlike his previous two projects, Dil Se.. opened with well note among the film critics and the film poorly performed in the domestic market,[62] despite being a success overseas.[63][64][65] It was screened in many international film festivals, and won the Netpac award (Ex-Aqueo) in the Berlin International Film Festival.[66] In 2000, Ratnam directed the romantic drama Alaipayuthey that starred R. Madhavan and Shalini. The film focussed on marriage and explored relationships and their consequences, and garnered critical recognition.[67][68] It was also screened at the Berlin International Film Festival.[69]
Along with Vasanth, he was instrumental in organising Netru, Indru, Naalai,[70] a stage musical that marked the first theatre production, with numerous other artistes, to aid The Banyan, an organization that rehabilitates women and children with mental illness.[71][72]
[edit] Kannathil Muthamittal and onwards: 2002–present
Ratnam's following project, Kannathil Muthamittal, dealt with the story of a child of Sri Lankan Tamil parentage adopted by Indian parents, who wishes to meet her biological mother during the Sri Lankan Civil War.[73] The film was critically lauded and commercially successful, winning six National Film Awards, Filmfare Award for Best Direction in Tamil, In the Spirit of Freedom Award at the Jerusalem Film Festival[74] and an award at the Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles.[75] In 2004, he made a Hindi film titled Yuva, his second venture into Bollywood. The film, which tells the story of how one incident sends the lives of three youths on a collision course, received positive reviews and was a hit in the box office.[76] Ratnam made the film simultaneously in Tamil as Aaytha Ezhuthu, starring Surya Sivakumar, R. Madhavan and Siddharth replacing Ajay Devgn, Abhishek Bachchan and Vivek Oberoi respectively from the Hindi version.[76] The Tamil version was appreciated by critics, unlike the Hindi version, which was a failure at the box office. Ratnam suffered his first heart attack while shooting for Yuva.[59]
In 2007, Ratnam made Guru, a biographical film based on the life of Dhirubhai Ambani, a business magnate from India.[77] starring Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, through his production house, Madras Talkies.[78] The film is set in the early 1950s, became a box office success, and received critical acclaim.[79]
In 2010, Ratnam worked on a bilingual film, titled Raavanan in Tamil and Raavan in Hindi.[80] The Tamil version was dubbed into Telugu and titled Villain. The film was released worldwide on 18 June 2010.[81] The film is loosely based on the Hindu epic Ramayana; its narrative occurs over 14 days when a revolutionist named Beera, who lives in a forest, kidnaps a policeman's wife to avenge his sister's death. The Tamil version received positive reviews from the critics compared to its other versions.[82] The New York Times called the movie a "critics' pick". However, the reviewers of the Hindi version panned the film; Rajeev Masand said it was "a crushing bore of a film, a disappointment on virtually every count"[83] while another critic, Raja Sen commented "It's profoundly sad to see a filmmaker of Ratnam's calibre reduced to this".[84] The Tamil version was declared a box office success.[85] Ratnam's forthcoming film, Kadal, earlier titled Pookadai, is said to be set against the backdrop of fishermen in and around Rameswaram.[86] It will signify the acting debut of Gautham, son of veteran actor Karthik.[87]
Legacy[link]
Ratnam is highly credited for having revolutionized the Tamil film industry and altering the profile of Indian cinema.[4] He has made films with a variety of genres and majority of his films are characterized by string Socio-political themes.[88] It was mainly because of this most of his films have garnered both critical acclaim and commercial success.[88]
With his idea of combining art and commercial elements, Ratnam was referred for bringing new dimension to the South Asian film industry.[88] Many of his films have taken inspirations from real-life incidents such as Nayagan, Bombay, Iruvar and films like Thalapathi and Raavan were based on Indian epics.[2] He is lauded for his casting in each of his films—he said in an interview, "I am not a director who performs and shows. I discuss the role, the scene with my actors and let them bring life to it".[2]
Ratnam is also well recognized outside India with a retrospective of his films held at various film festivals around the world such as Toronto International Film Festival, Pusan International Film Festival, Tokyo Filmex and Birmingham International Film Festival.[58] His films are being screened regularly at many film festivals such as Cannes Film Festival, Venice Film Festival, Rotterdam Film Festival, Montreal Film Festival and Palm Springs International Film Festival.[58]
Ratnam's aspiration towards films grew up watching films of K. Balachander, Guru Dutt and Sivaji Ganesan.[89] His is greatly influenced by the film-making styles of Akira Kurosawa, Martin Scorsese, Krzysztof Kieślowski and Ingmar Bergman.[89]
