The Mozart from my Madras...

Hmm, I realized I haven't done enough justice to the Rahmaniac in me.

And on this snowy Boston saturday, I took the path less traveled researching Ad jingles by the இசைப் புயல் himself and went digging up old links and remembering past discussions on this elusive past of the genius music composer!!

I'm surprised to find out how much composing tunes for commercials was a big part of the talent that is today A.R.Rahman. So, I decided to log what I could find in this precious real-estate. Something tells me that I am missing some obvious ones. But anyways, here we go:

Leo coffee:

Cinthol bath soap:

Premier pressure cooker:

Titan:

Garden Sarees: (Lisa Ray!!)

Worldspace Radio: (There were a couple in this series in different languages and video.. but all based on the same jingle)

Indian Navy:

Airtel: (many in this series..)

Asianet TV:

MRF Tires:

Allwyn watches:

Asian Paints:

magnum icecream:

Tilda basmati rice:

Rasna: (mmmmm suspicious..)

SunTV Pongal theme song : http://snd.sc/hcS8HQ

Semmozhi Song: (I think they also wanted to include Chennai-mozhi.. small omission happened :P)

Rahman's take on our national anthem:

Okkay all the patriotic souls standing can sit down..

one more::

Remanika sarees: I think confirmed the language is Malayalam
(and if stripped down to the basic tune, this one sounds very similar to the Cinthol Ad to me!?!?)

And, I'd like to acknowledge Bing ;) for its help because just for a change I Bing'd for info and it was pretty impressive.. :P
