When composer A.R. Rahman's first film Roja was released in 1992, his astonishing music with its other-worldly melodies, tonal texture, pulsating rhythms made an instant impact in India. His abundantly flowing talent has given life to the score of over a hundred films, including Dil Se, Bombay, Lagaan, Warriors of Heaven and Earth, 127 Hours and Jodhaa Akbar. According to a recent estimate by the BBC, 150 million copies of his albums have sold worldwide. A.R. Rahman has won a host of awards, including a Golden Globe, a Bafta, two Oscars and two Grammys for his score in Slumdog Millionaire. In 2010, he received the Padma Bhushan, the third civilian honour, awarded by the Government of India. Rahman remains a deeply private person, shying away from the glitz and glamour of show business. "A.R. Rahman, The Spirit of Music" is in the form of biographical conversations between the composer and Nasreen Munni Kabir, in which we hear of Rahman's journey from modest beginnings to a place in world music history.
