Their combination has worked wonders right from their first movie
together – Roja. If one has the power of visualizing beautiful concepts, the
other has the magic of adding life through brilliant music. Wondering what we
are talking about? If you thought of
A.R.Rahman and Mani Ratnam, you are absolutely right.
The foundation of understanding was established right at the
inception of their coming together thus helping in making sure every movie of
theirs together in terms of the music was a hit for sure! Thiruda Thiruda which
released in 1993, following Roja needs no introduction. The quality of the
background score speaks for itself. Their hatrick hit was with Bombay that
released in 1995. The reason for such brilliant outcomes can be that each of
the genius inspires the other to go a step further and come up with astounding
results.
After the hatrick, there is more to it. The next hatrick we could
say was the release of Iruvar, Dil Se and Alaipayuthey. Strong story lines with
the apt use of music, there was another feather in the cap in the Indian film
industry. The bond between this director and music director ofcourse has
volumes to speak.There is not a single film with the duo coming together where
we could say we were disappointed in terms of music. Every other movie was a
hit. Moreover it is essential to also remember that ManiRatnam infact has
released most of his movies in the Hindi language too apart from Tamil, and
such is the dedication of Rahman for redoing the tracks in the different
language too.
Kannathil Muthammital, Azhutha Ezhuthu are other wonderful hits of
the duo. Last year, the movie ‘Kadal’ was released. Although not well accepted
in terms of the story, the song tracks made its way to success. What have the
duo lined up for us next?
