I vividly remember watching the Surabhi episode that aired ARR's interview which showed snippets of chinna chinna asai. I hadn't had much exposure to Tamil film music then, but was intrigued by the sound of Roja songs. Being a Maharashtrian, I was happy that Roja soundtrack was also released in Marathi with really good Marathi translation of the lyrics. It's probably the only Tamil movie with a soundtrack translated in Marathi. I used to save my pocket money and purchase cassettes of Gentleman, Thiruda Thiruda, Pudhiya Mugam, Duet, Gangmaster, May Madham, Kadhalan, Bombay and so on. I was and even today am totally captivated by this genius called A R Rahman. I love most of his softer melodies like pudhu vellai mazhai, putham pudhu boomi, oru deyvam thantha poove, uyire, en kadhale en kadhale, vellai pookal ulagam engum, en mel vizhundha mazhai thuliye, uyirum neeye, etc.

What an episode! And what a celebration of the Mozart of Madras!! What we forget though, and what young music professionals would do well to remember, is the kind of hard work that he had put in, even before the Roja breakout happened. Rahman (Dileep of course, then) had been around for close to a decade before Roja and doing all kinds of interesting stuff in the ad jingle world, small indie albums and as a session musician and programmer. Those who have worked closely with him can vouch for not just his creative prowess, but also his knowledge of the technical aspects of live/recorded sound and the use of plug ins, software etc. Bottomline, he didn't emulate what was in trend then, but created his own space and USP, something today's youngsters can get inspired from.

A.R Rehman a torch bearer of music 🎶

[@anantha1201]

30 years of Roja soundtrack is a nice tribute on cover than on the episode. Really, the music is way fresh like a hot samosa or pakoda can't be or today's music can't be. It always feels like it released just yesterday. That's the forever impact this album has left on us all! Happy that most of the cover songs are not irritating and atleast a few legends are mentioned who were part of the movie than who were not. Most moving part is the bytes about Rahman's mother who also got moved like the whole nation did at that time. So are Balachander and Mani Ratnam's words. Hariharna bytes about 'Bharat humko' song is quite true. Very relatable even today. Rahman only can break his records is what even is true till date and we are waiting with baited breath for that magnanimous day! I saw a particular error in one of the cover credits about Chinna chinna aasai song showing the singers as Unni Menon and Sujata Mohan is one huge blunder. Everyone knows who the original singers are. But why is O2 India not aware of this? It was sung by Minimini who also sang in Hindi may be after the great Alka maa rejected it and there's no male singer here. There's only bgm vocals by Rahman himself. Can't entertain a blunder about a song of the decades as it was mentioned.

[@O2india]

Dear Mr. Srinivas. Thanks for your comments, appreciation & feedback. Apologies for the error. Credit for Chinna Chinna Asai - is given twice. 2nd time - the credits are correctly given to Minimini. Yes - in the 1st instance - there is an error on part of our post production team. We are trying to corrct it. In fact we ourselves had noticed it but by then the episode had already gone public.

Hariharan is so truly right , “Bharat Humko Jaan” is a unofficial Anthem of India for me personally I remember going to Aurora Talkies , Mumbai on 15th Aug 1992 for 12:00 PM matinee show , the ticket counter person told me it’s new film , directed by Mani Ratnam , that was enough for me to buy the ticket , I went alone , later saw Roja atleast 5 times in Theatre The theatre was nearly empty that day , because Rajinikanth’s Annamalai had just finished a 6-8 week near houseful run at Aurora talkies . So audience were tired and not ready for a low budget Mani Ratnam movie as follow up

I was born in 1998, in the year 2003 i do remember very well, we used to have BPL Tv, on August 15 for the first time i heard china china asai very next moment I thought i should be music composer as he is. Thank you so much Rahman sir for inspiring me.

[@chandra_83]

Another fantastic episode. Congrats AR Rehman and entire team for #30yearsofRoja. Was kid when this film released but this music looks fresh and fabulous till date. Eagerly waiting for special episode on Vandemataram

Dear Mr. Bhupati. Thank you very much for your kind words. Regards.

[@TharangaUdagedara]

I can't imagine the feelings, goosebumps of the people who watched the premier of roja, I guess that was in tamilnadu, when they heard this unprecedented, unheard divine music for the first time one after another, chinna chinna...puthu velliei....kadal rojawe...(they might not leave the hall wanting more....lol...I would do that!)

[@sagekahalnick7281]

I’m new to this composer’s work. My jump point was the score for Highway which completely resonated with me. Hearing a reggae style song showcased in this piece was a delightful surprise. I’m understanding more and more about his talent and gifts to our globe.

[@mohideenazeezjan5982]

Can I ask which country you are?

[@shahtrahi]

You are in for a fulfilling journey, exploring AR Rahman's musical genius. ✨💫

[@anantha1201]

Highway will go sideway if you are truly blown away by his past works.

A. R. Rehman is a living legend. His music is magic. I have each and every song of him.

[@mohideenazeezjan5982]

Why no interview of minmini? If ARR is the king of Roja Music, she issssss the queen.

[@sairamk04]

Lovely series. Pls modify credits (at 5:47)- Chinna Chinna aasai is sung by Minmini and ARR himself and not Sujatha and Unni.

[@sridharkarthik64]

True. Swarnalatha Madam. 🙏

[@O2india]

Dear Mr. Krishnamurthy. Yes, it's an error that we noticed after the episode had already gone public. We are trying to correct it. In fact when the song comes for the 2nd time due credit is given to Minimini. Error regretted. Regards.

[@prajyotpatil4187]

AR Sir ❤️❤️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️

[@Codetutor-DemystifyCoding]

The slumdog millionaire for which he got Oscars is not even Rehaman's best work. This is not an opinion, it's a fact. People who have been listening to Rehaman since Roja days will vouch for this.

[@sumanthnagabushan1063]

Rahman’s music is tailored to the movie and its situational, story and emotional needs, enhancing them to another astral plane. Judging it purely as an audio experience does the work gross injustice. His music is best for the movie scored for and better to be viewed individually, aligning with the director’s vision. There is an inherent historical problem with Indian perception of film music where songs (mostly) were placed to provide relief from tedious storylines than helping enhance them. Judging on the same principles nowadays needs a thought shift.

[@sumanthnagabushan1063]

It would be amiss if there was a semi classical score for the visuals of O Saaya for example. That percussive breathless song matches the manic pace of escaping kids. It is a pathbreaking score but we whine just because it doesn’t match what we expect… but when has he ever done the expected 😄??!

[@O2india]

Dear Codetutor. many people will agree with you. In fact on our series - Mr, Shekhar Kapur had also mentioned... that The world hadn't heard Rahman's other works. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. Hope you have subscribed to our channel. Please share it with others too. Regards

Dear Mr. Shaik. Thanks for liking the episode. We are delighted.

[@MuraliK9]

Without talking about late Mr H. Sridhar, ‘90’s sound track of ARR wouldn’t be complete. Sridhar was instrumental as Sound Engineer to Mr. Rahman. Good example I remember, many composers used Pan Flute on their tracks but in Chinna Chinna Aasai Song we hear Pan Flute with more clarity and Sound clarity of every track/RR was explicitly noticeable and transforming.

In my childhood I was thrilled by the ARR music, when I listen now also the same happens. What a great start for him later on continued in Gentleman, Bombay, Donga Donga, Rangeela, Taal, Iruvur, Meenakshi, Sakhi, Lagaan, Rang de basanti, Vandematram Album, Slumdog milliner and so on. Kudos to the music.

It's not often that you feel you're witnessing something totally new that's going to change the world. Roja to me was one such moment. I was 11 and vividly recall seeing the first song in big screen - Chinna Chinna Aasai, totally blew my mind! What also helped was the cinematography, set design, dialogues, screenplay were amazing.

I was in 6th when Roja film came... N it impressed me such, I had a preliminary qualification round for quiz and the only Question I answered was for "Who is the composer of the film Roja? " n got selected. N thanks to d team for bringing back the memories n was waiting for Pudhu vellai mazhai bgm till last second of this episode. But a full episode itself can be made on that single song. That's A R R

When Roja came we all were shocked and knew it was a turning point in Indian movies and film music and the Indian films can easily be placed as 'before Roja & after Roja' and later followed another shocker Bombay...

[@O2india]

Yes... so correct you are. You can remember everything... what a sharp memory... Delightede to have you as our viewer. In fact we had asked Mr. Mani Ratnam the same question... if Indian film music can be divided into before Rahman and after Rahman... he had a unique answer. Watch our episodes with Mr. Mani Ratnam (Epiosde 1-6 )Regards

We can't explain the music transformation experience to this generation, it is in the heart :). Ilayaraja music was getting boring , Hindi music was in the same style , Anu malik was a little different but still not fresh . Rehman was literally fresh to our generation , myself and my friends worked part time and bought amplifiers , all beautiful memories
