MUSIC WIZARD TURNS 43 TODAY!

Yes!you are right I am talking about the music wizard of India the one and only Dr.Allah Rakha Rahman!Born on 6th January 1966,even he also would have never ever dreamt that he would reach the elite club of best musicians in the world!Started his musician carrier as a keyboard player near many great music directors like Ilayaraja,Ramesh Naidu,M.S.Viswanathan,Koti,M.M.Keeravani etc.Then he worked as a jingle composer and almost each and every jingle he composed became a big success.Thus he was recognised by Mani Ratnam who introduced this Music Magician with the film ROJA.After this no need to look back for Rahman.ROJA was recognised as one of the top 10 best musicals of the world for the year 1993. Then he produced hits as if he is a hit machine with BOMBAY,GENTLEMAN,OKE OKKADU,PREMIKUDU,PREMADESAM,PREMIKULA ROJU,BHARATEEYUDU and this list goes on and on.
Then he entered Bollywood with RGV's RANGEELA.The songs in it became a sensation all over India.And then even no stoppage for him in Bollywood also with DILSE,TAAL,SWADESH,RANG DE BASANTI,PUKAAR,LAGAAN,JODHA AKBAR,JAANE TU YA JAANE NA to mention a few.
Even recently he entered Hollywoood with the sensational SLUM DOG MILLIONARE.People listened to the songs of this album as if they were trance and kept on listening and listening.He won 2 OSCARS for his score in the movie.And he was even nominated for the musical peak award GRAMMY for the song "JAI HO" of "SLUM DOG MILLIONARE".Rahman proved that his vixtory in hollywood is not by chance because he was nominated again for the oscars of 2010 for the song "NA NA NA" of "COUPLES RETREAT".
If these all are taken into one pan of his carrer the other pan would weigh his single album "VANDEMATARAM".In this album the song "MAA TUJHE SALAM" almost became a alias for the original Vandemataram.Even he produced another superb album BOMBAY DREAMS along with Don Black.And of course not to forget about the LORD OF THE RINGS theatre production.
And another quality which every single young Indian should learn is his down to earth behaviour,his work for perfection,his hard work.

So wishing him A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Hope he win Oscar for Couples Retreat and Grammy for Jai ho.
