A. R. Rahman is India’s leading music composer who has worked for so many Bollywood films such as Dil se, Lagaan: Once Upon A Time In India, and <Jodhaa Akbar> since the early 1990s. His musical work for Slumdog Millionaire earned him the Academy Award, the Grammy Award, the Golden Globe Award, and international fame. The film shows how the filmmakers and musicians like Andrew Lloyd Webber and Danny Boyle evaluate him and how his family members remember his adolescence. Education in classical music in Britain made it possible for Rahman to effectively combine the Eastern sensibilities and the Western technology. He is planning a worldwide tour not as a film music composer but as a singer with his own album. The film adopts the structure of a typical information-giving documentary film, and it juxtaposes the interview clips and Rahman’s present images. The main attraction in the film is the inserts of Bollywood films’ song and dance scenes. They give us the satisfactory experience just as we watch a fascinating Bollywood music video. (Minah JEONG)
