[@redredornblack]

there was no slumdog millionaire,which means they all said truth.

[@ronswanson9635]

Am I the only one who came to find out A.R Rahman's Favorite song? lol

[@thedeadquaker]

None of them have heard his songs from Roja?

[@shatovisha_632]

The ‘Bombay theme’ gives me goosebumps, every single time I hear to this melody. A. R. Rahman is a living legend.

[@melharrhy5948]

is all indian music like this? i like this guy a r rahman.... love, from australia

[@GanymedeKS]

Well, theres a massive variety depending on where the song is made in India (north, south etc), AR Rahman himself has composed a large number of songs that sound different to each because of different influences! :)

[@yuvarajavijiy]

***** # He is definitely the second best music compose India has ever seen # then who is d first best ?

[@yuvarajavijiy]

super... but there should be ILAYARAJA too in this list.. cheers..!

[@prajwal6416]

I pretty much love everything A.R Rahman puts out, it is all so wonderful! Here are a few of my favorites (in no particular order) 1. Usure Pogudhey 2. Barso Re 3. Chaiyya Chaiyya (who doesnt love this song? lol) 4. Kun Faya Kun 5. Jiya Jale 6. Taal se Taal

[@nana-berry]

Mine's definitely Kun Faya Kun from the movie Rockstar and Maanipaya from the movie Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa :)

[@wins8693]

nadaan parindey....from Rockstar. The mood and music just pierces the heart, pulls it ruthlessly and doesn't let it go till the songs last beat..And that beautiful excursion in between is heavenly.

[@wins8693]

If any of you had not listened to it, please listen to it in good volume, undisturbed, regardless of the language.

Vinnaithaandi varuvaaya is heavily under rated Kudos to that guy for listening to this song

[@pandartx9752]

2:06 thats my man.... implosive silence is pure majic, im still wondering how that tone came in his mind and he exactly and accurately sculpted each second to feel the exact mood he wanted us to feel.... hes a maestro...

[@jatinvenkat8109]

Rockstar 🔥🔥🔥 all the songs from rockstar

[@rajalakshmi2823]

Naane varugirean...from ok kanmani❤️got goosebumps when I heard "chinnansiru chinnansiru ragasiyame"everytime ❤️love u rahamn sir💟

[@VarmapenmetsaJNTU-H]

"Music has no language barriers. It's just music, you could just listen to it and feel it"

[@ohmygod10101]

I have such an inherent bias towards Rahman that every song I listen to his, I end up thinking "Oh, this is brilliant and legendary". So, it'll be hard to decide a favourite song because there's different things you like about each song of his; sometimes the composition is complex yet melodious, sometimes the instrumentation is experimental and fresh, sometimes the way the lyrics has been fit in the composition with beautiful cadence.

[@birajraha01]

If you ask me, I do not have one favorite Rahman song. My favorite song of his changes with my mood. Currently Bombay Theme and Ye jo Desh hai tera is my favorite. I will come back when my mood changes.

[@Jangamrakesh]

I have grown by listening to Ar rahmans music. Roja, Bombay, rangeela, tiruda tiruda, bharateeyudu and many more. I can’t pick a single song.

[@manojsupernova]

உந்தன் தேசத்தின் குரல் தொலை தூரத்தில் அதோ... ( Yejo Des Hai Tera-swades)

[@AdityaChakravorty]

Khwaja Mere Khwaja(Jodhaa Akbar), Kun Faya Kun(Rockstar) Ye jo Des(Swades), Dil he chhota sa (Roja), Tu bin batayen(Rang De Basanti), Zariya (Coke Studio), Naan Yen (Coke Studio), Jagao mere des (Coke Studio), Dil se re (Dil Se)......I could go on and on with my list of favorite A.R. Rahman songs!!

[@tathagatb1981]

Selecting one fav. is a challenge....definitely a challenge. And if I had to pick one it would be Chinna Chinna Aasai- Roja. The first song that I remember from him and that Sun rise scene.

[@Duuudeee69]

Woohoo!! Sir A.R.Rahman is a living legend. So happy to see this kinda reaction. Vandeeee maataram!!

[@sudharshaniyengar1587]

Latika's theme from Slumdog Millionaire deserves a mention...

[@sunilchirravuri89]

Choti si asha from Roja, Luka Chuppi from Rang De Basanti, Ek Mohabbat-One Love(Taj Mahal)....List goes on.

[@purvisomkuwar2689]

My favourite A.R. Rahman song is Jashn-e-bahara.. Hands down..

[@Roshtheannah]

AR Rahman😍 for all the music devotees... Like me

[@saurab_n]

This video now proved me that Rahman's music is listened and played all over the world, truly a legend !! maan gaya bhai terko

[@jeetgoswami7]

Its great to see dat Rahman is popular in the west too.. Also amazing dat there r so many Indian students @ berklee.. my dream college...

[@muhammedpp1382]

All AR hits 🔥😍. from roja to jwalamukhi 99 songs ❤️..

[@jithsunny]

Proud to be ARR's fan by seeing this video ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Fzleo]

BomBaY themE.... and MaNnIpPayaa from "VINNAI THANDI VARUVAAYA"

[@sonukumardiwakar3097]

Sir, Dil se re is my favourite song...

[@adfghgghadffhchc374]

Exactlyyy... Vinnaithandi varuvaya... T best melody in recent times... It in tamil... Ppl look up.. Its beautiful

[@demonicbeer1998]

Mine is Nadaan Parinde, Kun Faya Kun, Ye Jo des hai tera and... God there are so many. It was pretty surprising to me that all of my favorite music I didn't know who's the composer were composed by AR sir. I was the type of guy to not look who the artist of the song is but just listen to the song. When I started noticing the artists of the song I listen to I was shocked to see majority of my playlist was filled with AR Rahman's music

[@sankarnarayanan2737]

It's difficult to pick a favourite Single track from Rahman sir music. Hardcore follower will never forget "Naan Yen Piranthen" from Coke studio in which Rahman sir voice creates a heaven like feel.

[@VijoVarghese]

Sometimes I just feel like listening to all the songs at once but then to pick one, I usually visit this video. For today it is going to be “Naan yaen pirandhaen “

[@nadirshah2705]

My all time favourite, I think I love music because of ARR. My childhood my father had the massive collections of all indian and Arabic songs his favourite collection from Ilayaraja, but there was couple of cassette placed there. I noticed heard the musics then learn this is the musics that rule in the future, Roja, Bombay definitely is still fresh songs, all the ARR songs are made of past, present and future references. But my all time favorite is Maa thuje salaam and Dilse re

[@jaymn5318]

All super choices. Naan yen and en desathin kural (ye Jo desh hai) is my favorite.

[@moses468]

I think most of those foreign musicians haven't listened to Rahman's Tamil compositions. Most of his classic compositions are predominantly in Tamil. If they had, this video would have got a complete different list.. 👍👍

[@anandamuraliarumugam5608]

Anytime I listen to Yeh Jo desh hai tera I get tears, it so well composed even without lyrics the shenoy will stir and squeeze your soul out to a different world. Once you understand the lyrics with tune simply melting the soul. Iam an ardent fan of the Legend Maestro Illayaraja sir... But this composition will haunt you all your life.. I believe ARR has a strong forte in Melody's, his way of approach towards melody is unique and stays even after decades. Like the songs in Pudhiya mugam, Netru illatha maatram and on and on...

[@yathumoore1314]

l am his die hard fan. all songs which done by him arr my favourite. specially 90s time songs. mani with arr and vairamuththu combo . my favourite

[@prabhakar123prasad]

0:38 agree! with this guy. well said dude :) 

[@HimanshuOnYT]

And i can't decide which one is my fav !

[@DoctorDoom619]

My favorite is luka chuppi. It has the legendary Lata didi in it and when Rahman starts singing his line "kya batau maa kaha hu main", instant goosebumps.

[@pramodshinde5211]

Jiya jale,Roja songs,tu hi re... All songs are heavenly made... by God ARRahman sir

[@MrYtkrishna]

Proof that music connects the world..

[@Myselfalex7]

Blessed artist 💓

[@waxifalee]

My favourite of A.R. Rehman is "Jashn e Bahaaran" from the movie Jodha Akbar... I just love the melody and lyrics of this song 💜

[@ranabhola]

Kun Faya kun, arziyan, piya haji ali..all his sufi songs....AND of course...TU HI RE....

[@VIJAYKUMAR-vg7xr]

Each and every song of ar rahman is my favorite in all laguages i dont know why

[@goutamseshadri1983]

Tears :) :) Love you A.R.Rahman, You mean a lot to me :)

[@CherryyChauhandotinc]

Wow, some of the songs, even I didn't knew. But my favorite is Khalbali and Kehna hi kya. Bombay theme as well.

[@aneesh-babu2]

cool man. they are my favs too. Kehna hi Kya had a soul in the beats.

[@truptimohite149]

All songs r beautiful ...

[@rajumannemking]

Music is Universal.....

[@ashwath1219]

My favorite is No problem... From Mr.Romeo just for the vision he had at 1994..which showed difference between him and others

[@sureshvedhamuthu]

The Great human being brought my mother tongue TAMIL international is AR RAHMAN. Salute you Anna!!

[@darsanasudevan6083]

Mine ♥️ Malarodu malaringa...(Bombay theme) Dilsere...😍 Malargale...(kaadhalan) Ishq Bina... .... .... .... .... ..... ... ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@_786RP]

You guys need to hear more and more of his work from South industry.... There is so much more like Alaipayuthey, Roja, Kaatru Veliyadi, Khadalan, Boys, Mudhalvan

[@crazgust238]

Happy tears :) I Like every string of #arrahman :)

[@himanshoobakshi]

Roja Janeman / kadhal Rojave......all the songs from his Debut movie Roja for which he won Indian national award. It's a soul of Rahmanism. After listening this I started going deep into any music/song. That's my all time favorite.

[@lifesymphony2024]

Many. Santosha kannere from Uyire. I am a fan of his talent to make a traditional tune into a fusion. For example, india's national anthem, "Vanthe Maatharam". He modernised it. Mangalyum thanthunane mantra.... he modernised in Alaipayuthey.

[@MrJoHnConsTanTine1]

Yeh jo desh hai tera

[@evelinabegum2452]

Just love his voice n lyrics.

[@manazirmanzar3242]

Luka chupi from Rang De Basanti

[@rehan19861]

How lucky you all are..

[@vatayanmedyog]

Hey Kai Didnt expect to see you here .. I am so happy to see you .... ha ha ha ha ... See you in India Soon ... Sending you lots of love ...

[@nikithareddy2908]

My fav is Luka Chupi from Rang de Basanthi

[@sanjitharajesh635]

I could go on and on Kadhal Rojave Anjali Anjali Minnale Nee Malargalae Vennilave Columbus Uppu Karuvaadu Sowkiyama Kadhal Sadugudu Vellai Pookal Mayya Mayya Omana Penne Aye Sinamika Naane Varugiren these are just few

[@_suryakiran]

Awesome!!

[@divypatel1002]

I was hoping for someone to say "Rehna Tu" and one girl answered it, I'm so happy now, I'm not alone..lol..

[@vimalalwaysrocks]

My favorite is the Leo Coffee Jingle - the best one! Love all of his songs but the one that comes to my mind right now is 'narumugaiyae narumugaiyae neeyoru naazhigai nillaay'

[@ajaydethe]

What about the BGM's from his movies? Lagaan, Swades, Saathiya & of course Roja. You guys should listen to BGM's as well composed by him. A whole different level..

[@boycottbollywooddilse309]

guys go visit this number "meri bebasi ka bayan hai" of AR from the movie album Rockstar..Its an underrated number given the fact that "naadan parindey", "tum hi ho" and "sadda haq" got more space i guess, but this particular number of AR is my personal favorite and depicts his pure genius.. A masterclass act..

[@shayakbhadraray9017]

"Yuhi Chala chal Raahi" and "Pal Pal Hai Bhaari" are my favourite compositions

[@aakar9596]

Completely deserved to receive Bhart Ratna 🏅🏆

[@PiyushDante]

2:06 Yup, that’s it. He said it. Implosive silence has a power to connect the two world’s without even speaking a word.

[@ManishParmar-sd6bs]

Yeh jo des hai tera and Tere Bina ❤

[@vinayagagroupsvg709]

Mani sir and ARR sir combo ❤️❤️❤️

Ennodu Neyitunthal. From the movie "I" . I love ThalaivAR

[@ogun0zeus]

My new Playlist, all their favourites

[@Mousymusic]

Rehna Tu is one of my recent favorite of Mr. Rahman

[@paplubp]

at least someone say "nehi samne". I believe its his best. and he can not reproduce the music he created in taal ever again. because you give your best once.

[@Dashingzeb]

I like to disagree with you here. He recreated so many gems post Taal like Guru, Pukaar, Lagaan, Saathiya, Slumdog Millionaire etc etc. It's hard to single out 1 song of this living legend, anyways my fav. is the 1947 Earth's theme.

[@paplubp]

sure u can disagree. U r welcome.

[@chandramohanr7306]

I wonder , whether you ppl have ever heard songs from Roja?:) (the first movie of him, for which he got an Indian national Award)

[@iamthesasi]

"Mudhalvannae vannae vannae" anyone?

[@mahfuzahmed6215]

So Glad to see Bangladeshi!!😊

I love Pudu Vellai Malai from Roja and Ennavalae Adi Ennavalae from Kadhalan. I enjoy most of this tamil tracks and I am a Malaysian born Tamilan origin.

[@marker9782]

In my opinion: 1) Mausam & Escape 2) Azeem-O-Shaan Shahenshah 3) Nadaan Parinde 4) Jiya jale 5) Muqabla 6) Urvasi Urvasi 7) Chaiyya Chaiyya 8) Masakali 9) Bin Tere
