Composing a stirring panegyric on the achievements
of AR Rahman should be easy but surprisingly
it is not, simply because everything that
can possibly be said about his brilliance
has already been said and every superlative
in the world has been used many times over
on his account. That says more than enough
about this great man. He has proved time and
again that nobody can make soul-stirring music
the way he does on a national as well as international
levels.
ARR is the proud holder of two Academy awards,
two Grammys, a BAFTA and a Golden Globe award.
He has also been conferred honorary doctorates
from the Trinity College of Music, Aligarh
Muslim University, Anna University and Middlesex
University. In addition to this he has been
honored with the Padma Bhushan and Padmashri
awards.
This year marks his 20th year in the film
industry and in honor of the occasion; Behindwoods
will take you on a musical journey across
his 20 most popular film albums which represent
some of his finest work.
