Rahman’s Golden age has come




Not long ago, we heard that Rahman was composing songs for Shekar Kapur’s Elizabeth-the Golden Age. The movie was screened at the recently concluded Toronto International Film Festival, and is said to have received rave reviews. Elizabeth-the Golden Age released yesterday, received accolades from the critics, and some went on to say it is one the finest epic films in recent times.

The battle sequences were stunning, and according to some critics its visuals appear like a painting coming alive. What is heart warming is the fact that A R Rahman’s musical score has come in for a special mention. “A musical score by Craig Armstrong and A R Rahman is virtually a character in itself, huffing and puffing through nearly every scene, provoking tension and calling characters to action,” says the Hollywood Reporter. Chennaiites will have to wait a while before they can be witness to all the grandeur, as the movie is not going to hit the screens any time soon, for the restless souls there are trailers available on the net.
