My son passed away last year in a car crash,we used to play the ps2game soulcalibur 3 and listen to the game soundtracks and fuse it on the computer with this magic of uncle AR Rahman when I listen to this my river of tears is unstoppable ,may my son rest in power and thank God for people like Mr Rahman

The Instrument is Haken Continuum. In case if anyone doesn't know.
-
The Bombay theme was more than enough to win him an Oscar. I am not even going to talk about Roja, Dil Se, Saathiya, Rang De Basanti, Rangeela etc.
-
I think this composition worth more than Oscar..
-
AR Rahman and Mani Ratnam released this movie and the song when India, and especially Bombay, was going through a really tough period of communal strife and conflict. This was Mother India crying, 90s kids will know how it really felt. This was and still is a silent cry for peace. Don't fall for the religious bigots kids, spread love. Lots and lots of love.
-
Save planet earth.. it's the only planet with AR Rahman .
-
When whole world appreciating natu natu for golden globe.. I'm somewhere sitting in the dark and listening to this alone and say myself.. "HMM..OK.. IT'S ALRIGHT"
-
He created this tune 30 years back. Never gets old... Somehow his creations get better with time.. The more you listen the more you like it.. It is the other way around.
-
It feels like all the evils in the world have vanished and all the world is sleeping and god is playing this tune in background
-
Silent guy but his melody speaks..A.R Rahman is pride of continant. Love from bangladesh!💘💝🎼🎵🎼
-
I live in Mumbai which was so called bombay.and I was born 1989 I was very small.and I didn't know what happened I was too small.but after watching Bombay movie i always cry after listening this tune.please don't fight my Hindu and Muslim brothers.❤️🙏
-
Everyone's a musician, until A.R. Rahman walks in ❤️
-
This tune has hope, despair, missing, pain, harmony... Over all, it has Rahman
-
Please God ...u should give 100 years above birth span for him ...our next and next generations also needs him ..he is the god of music composition...love u soooo much AR sir
-
I suffer from anxiety issues. I panic when I'm asked to undertake new responsibilities and go beyond my comfort zone. This has affected my career and I often find myself worrying and overthinking. And then I listen to Rahman. It works like magic to calm myself down.
-
Goosebumps starts at 5:06 😢 Man how much i miss the 90'
-

-
In 2007, the Bombay's soundtrack was included in The Guardian's "1000 Albums to Hear Before You Die" list,
-
