Central to this musical celebration is the legendary composer A.R. Rahman. His timeless classics from films like Roja, Bombay, and Muthu continue to inspire musicians across the globe. From orchestral renditions to DJ mixes, Rahman’s melodies transcend languages and generations, proving that outstanding music knows no boundaries.
