On January 6, acclaimed composer A.R. Rahman celebrates his birthday. Rahman composed some of the greatest works of all time for the Indian Music Industry. On his birthday, we put up a selection of Rahman’s finest songs that you can play repeatedly.
Dil Se’s “Chaiyya Chaiyya”
In this 1998 romantic thriller, Rahman’s musical prowess was combined with Ratnam’s filmmaking brilliance. With the help of choreographer Farah Khan’s brilliantly choreographed train dance, the tune “Chaiyya Chaiyya” received praise for both music and dancing. The heartfelt melodies earned Rahman yet another Filmfare Award for Best Musical Director.
Jodha Akbar’s “Jashn-e-Bahaara”
The 2008 historical drama “Jodhaa Akbar” was Gowariker and Rahman’s third joint project after “Lagaan” and “Swades.” Like their previous two projects, this one’s music was a blockbuster with both reviewers and viewers loving it.
Slumdog Millionaire’s “Jai Ho”
The song that served as the basis for the title of Rahman’s biographical film must be included on any list of his songs. Rahman received the Academy Award for Best Original Song for this popular song in 2008.
Raanjhanaa’s “Tum Tak”
Most viewers would certainly agree that one of this 2013 romance drama’s few redeeming qualities was Rahman’s score. Thanks to Javed Ali’s soulful vocals and Rahman’s superb composition, “Tum Tak” stands out as yet another flawless tune.
Rang De Basanti’s “Luka Chhupi”
The song “Luka Chhupi” from the movie “Rang De Basanti,” sung by Lata Mangeshkar, brilliantly captured the emotions of a mother mourning the loss of her son. You’ll probably cry when listening to the poignant song.
