Many filmmakers have started experimenting with “no song” movies, but A.R. Rahman says there are more “longevity” elements in a film with song and dance vis-a-vis one with just the story. The music genius, therefore, incorporates the same formula in his foreign projects, including forthcoming movie ‘Million Dollar Arm‘.
“We have started making films with no songs in different genres. But you know there are a lot of longevity elements in a musical than a normal story,” Rahman told us in an interview.
“When you see a song and dance, you want to watch it again and it creates a good mood even after a couple of watches. Whereas, when you see a film with no music, you might watch it just once or twice. The re-watching element is more in a film with music,” he said referring to the fact that viewers would watch such movies again.
This is precisely why Rahman composes songs even in the English projects he is associated with. One of the best examples is “Jai Ho” from Oscar-winning film ‘Slumdog Millionaire‘.
He continues the trend in his forthcoming English project ‘Million Dollar Arm’, a sports-drama, releasing in India May 9.
