9) Rahman on Patriotic mood
I have come across many music directors of India, only few of them got opportunity
to work with big and thought provoking projects,
Rahman has always balanced his musical compositions on a wider perspective,
rather than to just be a ruler of a stray land , I think he wants to be an emperor.
The variety that he can handle is amazing.
He can do a musical for Lord of the rings or can be so folkish with Sangamam,
be so western with "Boys", can pep up with chaiya chaiya,
harmonise you with "Nahin Samne" from Taal,
can create goose bumps with "Tamila Tamila", can be so classical with "Minsara poove"
give Punjabi style like "Rang De Basanthi", can synthesize with "Pudhu vellai Malai".
He has worked with great directors our country has ever seen, his best performances are
for
Manirathnam(Guru, Dil Se, Roja), Ram Gopal Verma(Rangeela,Daud), Rajeev Menon(Minsarakanavu,KK),
Subhash Ghai(Taal,Kisna), Shyam Benagal(Bose,Zubeida), Deepa Mehta(Water,1947-Earth), Shankar(Sivaji, Kadhlan),
Rakesh OmPrakash Mehra(Rang De Basanti), Ashutosh Gowarikar(Swades, Lagaan),
K.Balachender(Duet), BharathiRaja(Karuthama), RajKumar Santoshi(Bhagat Singh)
the list still goes on ......
Who else can give mega projects other than them ...
His international projects has been,
Lord of the war(Bombay theme reused)
Inside man(Chaiya chaiya reused)
Provoked(performed with Karen David)
Raga's Dance -With Vanessa Mae
Bombay Dreams(London Musicals with Andrew Webber)
Lord of the Rings - The Stage show
Pray for me Brother.
Time Magazine's RICHARD CORLISS had rated Roja as one among the best soundtracks of all time.
