Comment from Baz Luhrmann (director, Mouline Rouge)
"I had come to the music of AR Rahman through the
emotional and haunting score of 'Bombay' and the wit
and celebration of 'Lagaan'. But the more of AR's
music I encountered the more I was to be amazed at the
sheer diversity of styles: from swinging brass bands
to triumphant anthems; from joyous pop to West-End
musicals ('Bombay Dreams'). Whatever the style, AR
Rahman's music always possesses a profound sense of
humanity and spirit, qualities that inspire me the
most." Baz Luhrmann, noted Film Director, Sydney
(Australia), 14-July-2005.
