A Brief Insight into A.R. Rahman’s Life

He was 9 years old when his father’s musical rentals supported his family’s income. He started his career in music with M.K. Arjuna’s orchestra, at the delicate age of 11. His career soared after Bollywood Blockbuster Roja took the glamour world by storm. By the time he grew up, he had won 4 National film awards, 13 Filmfare Awards of Tollywood, 15 Filmfare Awards of Bollywood, 2 Grammy Awards, 1 BAFTA, 1 Golden Globe and 2 Academy Awards in additional to several regional awards and recognitions. We’re talking about none other than veteran Bollywood singer, musician, composer and music director A.R. Rahman.

All my Life I had a Choice between Love and Hate. I chose Love and I’m here“. That’s how the Mozart of Madras describes his musical journey. Born and brought up in a humble family in Chennai, the ace composer has put in relentless efforts to earn worldwide appreciation and popularity in music. The world also knows him as Isai Puyal or Musical Storm because he brought about a revolution in Bollywood music, with his off-beat music and peppy numbers.

Till date, Rahman has composed music for about 250 Tollywood, Bollywood and Hollywood movies. He has countless singles, albums and playbacks to his name. Some of his notable works include Roja, Bombay, Rangeela, Jodha Akbar, Slumdog Millionaire, Taal, Lagaan and a Million dollar Arm. Several years of hard work fetched him India’s third highest Civilian Honour that is Padma Bhushan in 2010.
