Description

A.R. Rahman The musical strom by Kamin Mathal.,The book more or less follows a chronological order while narrating the journey of A.R. Rahman that saw quite some hardships coming his way throughout his childhood and early youth. Born to a father who was also associated with the music industry but couldn’t find success coming his way, Rahman faced rough times at an early age. The book takes the audience into Rahman’s household that saw a kid loosing his childhood and worrying about family affairs at the time when he would have rather made friends and played with them.

It’s these initial portions in the film really make the reader feel a little depressed and one patiently waits for that point in the book to come which narrates the turning of Rahman into the sensation that he is today. However, Kamini takes a long time to reach this point; so much so that it endangers the interest level of a reader. A lot of time is spent into describing the work of Rahman’s father, his subsequent illness and the days when Rahman started creating jingles. Still, since one knows that there is a lot more to follow in this 250 page book, one stays on to be patient and waits for the story to move forward.

In the meanwhile, Kamini interacts with quite a few friends and acquaintances of Rahman, some known and some relatively unknown, and gets them talking about the man that he has been throughout his growing up years. As per her conversations, nothing much has changed about the man who has always been shy and reluctant. Of course there is a huge leap in confidence that has come in him from the days of Roja to Slumdog Millionaire and that is of course but natural.
