Rahman Rare Interview

[karthickhari]

i am seein 2012 still he gives goosebumps with Roja ! ARR is a gift to Cinema :)

[GentleGiant1256]

I use to love Surabhi!!

[GentleGiant1256]

He should have won an oscar for Roja

[Theshastri90]

tamil-hindi-malyalam-telengu- we all are indian.......... listen to his tamil songs first then you will really feel the music!!!

[pratheepinba]

rehman is a legend...

[composerananth]

Any idea about the 'Abdul' Rahman they are taking about? ;)

Good to hear H. Sridhar's (Rahman's chief sound-engineer for years) comments on "The Rahman Sound". Now we know who's behind the 'spitting into the flute' sounds ;)

thanks for sharing!

[powerchess20002000]

These are songs I must have randomly overheard, but they were affixed in me.. They are all tunes I recall. And I do not speak tamil..

[prasanna83]

wow surabhi must have had absolutely no idea back then who they were interviewing did they??!!

[preetu04]

i stil listen to those songs almost every week....this is his speciality!!!



[imimranshah]

can somebody tel the name of song @ 4:40 - 5:40 ..???

please...

[karthiksrinivasan415]

@imimranshah its kadhal rojavae

[satyasvarup]

I met Rahman Ji for the first time in KL for audio release of "Indira" back in 1995,then in 1996 for Mega concert that rocked Malaysian fans, then after a long gap I had the opportunity to be close to him in Rahman 3D world tour in S'pore, lastly I had a chance to dine with him last week on Enthiran audio launck in KL, all this while he has been the same down to earth, soft spoken and humble person. This qualities in him is more enviable my many.God bless U Rahman Ji

[sivaisaipuyal]

Wat a man he is... Love u Rahman... Even after getting two oscars, he is humble as he is in the first interview. Rahman rocks......

[livordie4eelam]

hahahaha look at rahman wearing sunglasses..!!funny..no he is sooo humble..

[udaiveerrathore]

ERRRRROOOOOOOR

itS not ALLAH RAHMAN

iit is ALLAH RAKHHA REHMAN (AR Rehman) Allah rakan is Allah's chosen one, the blessed.

Surbhi got the name wrong i guess, or am i wrong

[sujies]

It is ironical that he states "i have a touch of western influence in me. it will come down eventually"

I wonder who or what influenced him to say that, But im personally happy that he got more involved in fusion music from then on

[CopyCatARR]

Copy Cat ARR

[raaga86]

just hear the tune from 6:30 to 6:50. what a soft and a marvellous melody!! its a typical ARR tune..seems its from Rahman's personal compositions. Has he used it commercially?? i wish i had the complete track of the same..

Jai A R Rahman..!!

[realitybites83]

@raaga86 nice finding

[crazyhyd]

tht's so true abt wot the man said abt Rahman Sir in the end - "Aakhir kitne logo ko aisa kaam miltha hain ...jise vo poora dil se ke saath kar paaye "

[mridulap2003]

he's so uncomfortable and real in front of the camera.. not like the other overly pompous celbrities..

[ChangeTrain]

@mridulap2003 he is not uncomfortable but he is real

[sagextrm]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!! :o

[reymis]

Rating 5 is not enough for ths will give lots and lot.. gr8 Work. thanks for sharing this...

[thasneem87]

Thanks 4 this clip. JAI HO ARR

[vijay9812]

wow ar rahman is the greatest.

[sboy7772001]

Thanks a lot for this rare collection!!! Plz do keep posting such collections

[Moham300]

I thought he is Allah Rakha Rahman (AR Rahman) not Abdul Rahman!

He was born as Dilip Kumar, later he converted to Sufi Islam and became AR Rahman.

Is there a confusion in his real name?

[spidydotnet]

You are right. DD made a mistake.

[prewin6]

The same Rahman.. but not at the same height now. JAI HO !!

[rmahbubaumme]

dear rahman sir how r u? sir I am u'r fan.I want to meat u.this is very urgent for me and 'may be' for u.. .I can't explain it clearly because I don't know english.how can I contact with u?I sent sms KMG music conser...7 times but sms sending was failed. I know hindi little beat.

[ARRihana]

the same Rahman ji till now..great! God will always bless u n ur family.

[rags487]

It's quite a surprise to find that Surabhi with its meticulous research team got the name wrong. Nonetheless I was taken down the road of Nostalgia. Great Upload.

[MegaMinu]

Rahman ji keep on rocking

We want more music like Roja,gentleman........

[Rohansitar]

Long Live Rahman,

Regards.

RD

[itsaboy1000]

pay tax India made you this high and it diserponting to find out that you didn't pay tax ( 10 cour)

[Itismevignesh]

i love this anty.......

[akshaya07arun]

JAi ho a.r rahman

[LiteTheesko]

Rahman is very talented, he changed the era with the movie Prema Desam.

Thanks for this video!

[princewiki]

A.R. Rahman is truly a genious. There is no doubt. Watch his Tamil Movies. He did some amazing music. Not only him, there are some following him, they are Harris Jeyaraj, Vidhyasagar and Yuvan Shanker Raja. All are good. Anyway, its proud for our Country that Music is growing and making others to listen. I have found a tamil website for tamil music. its called TAMILBEAT. try it, and search for the above music directors compositions. will be amazed...

[jas03023]

Great going ARR...Oscar found you..

[navneethsundar]

He was the first person to teach the world how seemingly non-musical entities can actually change the ambience in a song and make the difference between its success and failure. ARR and Sridhar were mutually responsible for each other's success and the greatness they went on to achieve. The world will miss Sridhar as the legend marches on

[navneethsundar]

The late Sridhar (who is a genius himself), sums up ARR's music in one word. It is highly "theatrical". And no wonder he sounds so excited as he says that. It is a dream for any thirsty sound engineer to work with such a genius with outstandingly fresh ideas of not only music but also the sound (like he says miking the flute differently to record its wind and not the tone).

[mcpkpmc]

thanxxxxxxx 4 this rare vdo

[jayeshchoudhari]

The person who has filmed this interview has done really a good job....no other interview of ARR is as good as this one...The interviews that come now concentrate a bit too much on his spirituality and such...but this interview is different and concentrates what ARR is best at...His MUSIC ...something which I find missing in interviews now a days...:(

[thowfik2001]

His Real Name is ALLAHU RAKKA RAHMAN, THAT'S CORRECT MEANING AR.RAHMAN

[sanalhumblerahul]

his real name is dileep

[johnyaalare]

wow!! thanks so much for sharing

[nostalgic0girl]

People should listen to Rahman's TAMIL compositions..they'll fall flat on their faces if they do..ever heard the hit songs from the movie "Boys" in Tamil?You'll be amazed!!

Somehow I just feel coz of the language barrier people are not quite exposed to Rahman's true talents-the ones that emerge when he composes music for the Tamil crowd. It's time we Hindi people started listening to Rahman's Tamil hits too or maybe they should reproduce those songs in Hindi so the world would recognize them too

[jayeshchoudhari]

ya some of them are awesome.....like newyork nagaram, taxi taxi, style etc....even though I am from Mumbai & have no idea at all of Tamil...still I loved them...

[fireynight]

@nostalgic0girl

Boys''wasn't tat gud wen compared to his greatest Tamil hits there are far better compositions in Tamil than boys..I love his music ...

[ChangeTrain]

@nostalgic0girl I bet this comment is written by tamil since there are many 'TAMIL' words in the comment. Jokes apart, a true latent(or shall we say divinity) just manifests itself and crosses boundaries, languages and what not, and DOES NOT crave recognition. So don't worry and take the hassle of asking people to recognize it, unless ofcourse your point is to be boastful about tamilians or tamil movies. If someone didn't recognize such divine talent, its their sheer ill fate.

[tutorhill]

Amjath, i will appreciate u to gather this video to see my favorite music director.

[musushdara]

A R Rahman you are GOD and thanks a lot for uploading this video Mr.amjath001

[indianblues77]

thanks for the upload, cheers

[pradeepanisonline]

get ur facts right.

[needou]

what this language is?? beatufull songs,, where from this song can i record?? please reply

[ariffcts]

the language in the songs is Tamil..the music director is the mozart of chennai A.R.Rehman

[musushdara]

its Tamil and movie name is ROJA

[sameerk442]

Its Tamil language. Movie Roja

[Vaibik]

A R Rahman is the GEM of modern India.

Thanks a lot for posting this episode of one of the best TV shows India has ever had.

Very inspirational person and artist.

Salut!

[fotomurthy]

Afirst, Thnx 'amjath001' for sharing this incredible video

And speaking of ARR, u cannot call it talent, passion and genius

i believe its something like astute "divine-madness" a complete

heavenly-dna or something like that :)

As sridhar'sir rightly said, its highly theatrical, very engaging, involving and unbelievably interactive.

I am just proud and glad that i am in the same era that he is_ to hear and cherish in first person.

Making music and making us proud simultaneously!

Love+regards

[avinash444]

Rahman is legend not only because he does great music. He is so calm and composed even from the very beginning of his career. Years ago when this interview was shot, everyone including the people who commented on him must have thought him to be another one film wonder. But Rahman was confident in his words that one day he will come up. He is a role model for the new generation - dedication and hard work can take you to unbelievable heights. Thank you very much for uploading this video.

[thesymboloftrust]

he is allah rakha rahman i believe....

nice interview...

[soumendas]

"and when you do a very soft tune you have to cry and the deepness should be there in the music whatever you do. that is my formula, and it should sound different" - YOU ARE DIFFERENT, HATS OFF TO YOU.

[soumendas]

really rare. great upload.. thanks.

[aditya8386]

i believe it was Allah Rakha Rahman...not Abdul Rehman!!

[santhiratan]

cheers the musical king...., no emperor...., no the god himself...,

[drgirishvk]

Is it possible to believe that this is his first film.. Perfection right from the word GO!!

Amazing talent.. God Bless..

[pimezon]

he is TOTALLY COOL in his interview. so confident but still completely modest. he is a perfectionist. god!

[prafilaash]

Wow wat a wonderful program it was...Also AR Rocks

[kishankakarla]

Thanks for uploading..

Surabhi was one of my favorite shows on TV..

Rahman is a genious and god bless him..

[aakinz]

A 26yr old young man, changed the course of the Indian music in a single movie (Roja, which was his first movie), which is considered as one of the top 10 film music score in the history of world cinema

Power of youth...stunning

[vstexas09]

yodha...a malayalam film, was his first movie...

[binoj88]

It's not Yodha. It was Roja, a tamil movie for which he got National Award for Best Music.

[vstexas09]

sorry...i got them confused, seeing as they came out the same year...

sorry for the confusion...

[MegaMinu]

roja was his first movie but it was yodha which came out first

[ajai556]

Yodha released on 4 April 1993

Roja Released on 14 August 1992

So Roja came out first.... But why are we bothering abt dates.... Enjoy the music...

[lailaper]

thanks

[kajenS]

man he just make me want to give up everything and just hear his songs all day, I kind of did and failed my first year MBBS exam. lol

[biggerstep1]

Hey Man I appreciate the person who edited this video and guys did u see Sridhar in the video...

He is the best sound engineer in the industry..

I still remember when I used to buy casetts or cds i used to see his name on the back and I wonder who the person this....

ARR its beyond words to explain

[biggerstep1]

10000 millon dollars man for this rare collection

[XenuOnEarth]

Allah Rakha Rahman's the name. :)

Thanks for sharing this. I miss this show "Surabhi" very much. It was one of the really good shows in Doordarshan. Another one being "Turning point"

[fmrc2002]

getting a national award in his first not a big deal but he scored three nationalk award from this movie for best singes for both male n female i guess.. thats the big deal in film industry.. no one ever start thier career vth five song hit in a row.. long live rahman... i love him.. god bless rahman.. always

[cyberninja17]

why the fk they keep saying abdul rahman ... cant they just say rahman

[arafathcoolguy]

in those times people in bollywood call them then he changed to A.Rahman

[videocheck001]

"abdul" rahman?? sheesh they didnt even get the name right.

[wejayr]

Thanks for this rare video!!

[harishkumarko]

There will be no better musician than rahman even after several generations. Say it be 23rd century or 30th century and so on.............he will be thr best

[vamsikgp]

I remember seeing this interview and marks the time when I became his die hard fan.

[vivekchiru]

awesomeand excellent performance

[rogram4]

no one can beat Rahman at music in not only india, but in the world.

[rogram4]

no one can beat Rahman at music in not only india, but in the world.

[veerappanmudaliar1]

in the music industry.. if i were to worship someone.. that'd be A R Rahman..

like the narrator is saying "The movie didn't take much time to make and release, but the intoxication of the music is still there..." I mean, literally even now the songs from Roja send shivering thrills down the spine... amazing

[pawankadyan]

never knew that Surabhi introduced him on National Television.

An awesome music director and a great human being as well.

Hail Rehman.

[dennispat]

HE so Humble person!

[kiyamatube]

fantastic and very rare video dude....thank you so much and its simply fantastic...keep on coming good videos.....Satya NY

[easynag]

hey thats alla rakha rahman NOT abdul rahman

this is very saddening !!!!!

[haren09]

thanxx for posting this video!!!arrahman is the great legend!!!he rocks!..i love his smile..may the god bless arrahman..and his music forever!

[Chandantitanic]

Just imagine ppl,,,,,, ARR did the music for ROJA at such a young age...and Got The award for his first film.......!

He deserves IT.....

ROCK on.............

[muzicphiles]

thanks for the upload.he is a gem . and i pray he shines forever. his music has inspired us all the way.

not to take away one thing i observed is that i had faint memories of surabhi as a program.

now i look at it i see it was magnificent programming. i love the way they have attended to details.

i love my country and the good things that happen around it.

much love.

[preeth4all]

vijsyan.. ever best guy we got

for the music

[sunishshiva12]

thanks a lot!!

[vinodharani]

why rahman is cald abdul rahman?

[doodles1979]

It's Allah Rakha Rahman, his family converted to Islam after his sister's illness when they were young.

[vinodharani]

then they shud hav cald him as allah rakha rahman.....y didthey cald him as abdul rahman

[doodles1979]

Surabhi have obviously not done their research properly. This was well before he became famous. He probably just laughed at their folly.

[getknk]

A.R.Rahman (dilip kumar) is yet to come. He will rule the music world.

[easynag]

what ,, yet to come ... he is now god of music

[easynag]

what ,, yet to come ... he is now god of music

[easynag]

what ,, yet to come ... he is now god of music
