AR Rahman tells Myleene Klass of CNN about evolution of music in Indian films
Do you think the use of music in Bollywood films has become slightly more
sophisticated?
Yeah, there is a film called 'Rang De Basanti' which also was the official
entry from India for Oscars, and this film, when I was doing it, I never knew
that the music would reach so many people across the globe.

The songs were lip synced, just used like a background, but it seemed to
blended well with the screenplay and the story. So I think it clearly proved
that the people are changing and they are looking forward to more sophistic and
non cliché stuff.
Was there a growing division, do you think, between films, between Indian
films that are favoured by rural audiences and urban audiences?
I think the line is becoming thinner and thinner, really, because, unlike a
couple of decades ago where people didn't know anything about the happening
outside. Now people know what it is that Hollywood and Chinese films are made
of. This influences people and so filmmakers are compelled to do stuff which is
world class.
I can see that the past six years a massive change has happened and there are
extraordinary filmmakers who are evolving.
What do you think are the qualities of a truly great composer?
One needs to transcend somebody by even if it is just one instrument theme. And
now the challenges of the composers are much more as its not just about
composing a great theme. One needs to know recording, production and how to
intertwine music with the movie.
And with Indian films it is an even greater challenge, because we need to be
like a Michael Jackson or John Williams, Hans Summer and an Indian folk
composer and put all of them together. So they expect finesse and they expect
versatility.
