I really wanted to know Rahman's feeling while composing this album. Thanks for this brilliant analysis!!
People may know Rahman Sir as a genius music director.. But keep in mind his BGM are equally impressive... Roja, Bombay, Rdb, Tamasha, Water,Highway are simply a work of art and perhaps many more.. Salute to the legend that is Rahman Sir.

One thing I noticed about BOMBAY's music is how ARR used Gujarati folk song "HEY JEERE" as background music when Manisha Koirala lands in Bombay. This music captures very well the essence of Bombay of 90s. That piece of music is heavenly. I have been trying to find audio version of that piece of music since ages but to no avail.

Awesome video! Thank you for making this and dissecting the amazing background score of Bombay. Just to elaborate upon the ingenuity of Rehman. He uses different Ragas for different effects. The flute theme is in Ananda Bhairavi The song Tu Hi Re with it's charanam is in Charukesi The song Kehna Hi Kya is in Kirwani Each of these ragas express a certain bhava and Rahman knew how to use those to full advantage!

@@sanchitaghosh6289 How do u know it's stalking, in the first place? Nowadays ppl are using the word 'stalking' for everything as they wish. They are not aware of the meaning of the word. If getting to know a girl is stalking, then everyone will be single forever. Girls be like " He must have the guts to come and talk to me." but then they dont want them to look at them in public or "follow" them??? Like what???? Are boys suppose to read your mind to get to know you, and to know if u like him back or not???? I dont get it...In that movie, that guy was trying to get to know her. Whenever she came across him, she didn't even say "don't follow me" or showed any sign of being uncomfortable with his presence. What does that suppose to mean? Especially when there's no much of a technology developments to access and get to know about a person..How else should he tried to confess his love??? The main reason she tried to avoid him was bcs the difference in religion and she definitely knew the consequences. Not bcs she thought he was stalking her. Oh Come on ! Mani sir has nvr had the intention to teach negative things to his audience. He just shows the reality in his movies. If that looks like he's trying to promote stalking culture to YOU, then the problem is with you, not the movie or the Creator. Ppl talked about this thing for Dil Se too.. I just can't understand their thought process. Just because it happened to us and we personally went through something like it, that doesn't mean we should look at things with a suspicious and negative mind... Don't get confused with GETTING TO KNOW SOMEONE and STALKING !!!

This was so good. Thankyou, Vinit.
Oh my, this type of video after so long. I've been following this channel for years just for these educational videos that makes us appreciate cinema from another level. I started watching this channel some four years back and it made me enjoy movies a hell lot more then later these also helped me in my film appreciation classes. So, to the creator - you've help me understand more than my college professor.
I appreciate the hard work you put into making these videos for us man. You truly are a gem.
Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. Keep them coming man.
The man who bought the concept of harmony, obligatos and polyphonic lines in bollywood is Salil chowdhury.. I agree that his background scores were not as effective as ar rahman but we have to consider that he was the one who started the trend of making melodies which follow chord progressions.. you know both rahman and ilayaraja were influenced by his legacy (both ar rahman's father and ilayaraja were musicians who worked with him).. I am writing this because when you are talking about western musical concepts in Indian cinema music.. you have to talk about one of the pioneers of that..
Brilliant! You made me love Rahman even more. Thank you!!
Really missed your analysis. Great to see you back.
You are very knowledgeable 🙏 Thank you for shedding light on this topic
finally you have remembered that you have a youtube channel ..... nice to see you
Thank you so much man for this video. I was hankering for a video on how AR Rahman creates music since when I really started to like his songs but I couldn't find any. I also wish if you could make a video on just the mind-blowing creativeness of the musician through his so many brilliant tunes he had created over his career and how he incorporates music,lyrics and instrumentation in his songs when everything else we hear from other artists are just vocals and exaggerated tunes . Keep making videos man. I really appreciate your work.
Just what we needed. Thank you so much sir for this.
