Bose, INA, Czech Symphony Orchestra and Rahman | Shyam Benegal | Rahman Music Sheets - Episode 20

- Shyam Benegal’s 2005 film ‘Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose - The Forgotten Hero’ depicts Netaji’s life from 1939 onwards - leaping across British India, Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, finally ending with the exploits of the INA back in India. The film and its massive global cultural spectrum demanded a virtuoso like Rahman and he took it up like a ‘Maestro’.
For its background tracks, Rahman worked with Czech Film Orchestra at Prague.
To adopt many songs of Indian national Army (INA) he opted for Western Choir, Chennai & Mumbai Film Choir. These songs were beautifully integrated into the film’s narrative.
The music defied demands of the mainstream cinema. It might not have ruled the popularity charts but created a textbook template for multi-cultural storytelling that remains an example in itself.
Many believe, that with this film Rahman transformed from a music composer to a Maestro. In Shyam Benegal’s own words,”Rahman’s understanding of music is very sophisticated.”
Rahman Music Sheets - A series to track three decades of an incredible musical journey of Oscars and Grammys winner A.R. Rahman

We have done some good work in our life that's why we are blessed by such incredibly nostalgic , melodious and amazing series ....
Bundle of Love from Pakistan.
Dear Sir. Your comment has really touched our entire team. It's the power of Mr. Rahman's music that defies all boundaries. We must be doing something right to deserve your appreciation. Honoured we are. We pin your comment to express our gratitude. Warm Regards.
It is one of the best album of ARR. I am actually surprised that neither the vocal tracks nor the theme songs are played in any of the live shows by ARR himself.
Then people will wonder where this is from. They are hardly popular. In shows like that the conveners of the show will have a say and they would want some popular numbers to be in.
Composer to Maestro as aptly described by Shyam Benegal, Rahman is a complete musical genius & pride for India. Jai Ho 👏👍
Dear Mr. Kumar. We agree with you. Regards
Shyam Benegal ! Respect ! What a man ! This episode went off just like that and I almost forgot that each episode has COVER songs ! For Mr Benegal's experience and inputs, we did not need the songs ! Thanks for a great episode.
Dear sir... You are so correct. It was a lifetime opportunityto interact with Mr. Benegal. We tried to get as much as possible from this institution of film making. Warm Regards
Nobody does music with a patriotic fervour than ARR. There’s an inherent piety, depth and divinity in them, giving a rousing and spiritual elevation…..
This soundtrack is one such…..
Other stellar examples are ‘sarfaroshi ki tamanna’ (both aggressive and pensive) or the entire Legend of Bhagat Singh album, the unmatchable ’yeh jo des he tera (vocal and even more powerful shehnai version) and many others…
Mr Benegal’s scholarly view of the interplay between music and the art of storytelling is such a treat for movie muggles like us
Thank you again O2India, another feather in your cap…
Dear Mr. Nagabhushan. We are delighted to see you back with your comment here. It makes us happy that we are able to live upto your expectations. Please stay with the series. Spread it further. Help us reach a larger audience. Regards.
@@O2india Thank you, I will!
Aazaadi....that sharp high note voice...
One of the best ARR albums ...
Dear mr. Krishnan. We endorse your view. Please stay with the series. Spread it further. Help us reach a larger audience. Regards.
It was pleasure hearing Shyam Benegal speak about cinema..thank you for getting him in this series
Amazing music.. Fully experimental music by Legend Dr. A R Rahman Sir
Dear Mr. Gajakosh. You are right. Not many composers will dare to go into this zone of experimentation. That's why Mr. Rahman is a unique composer. Please stay with the series. Spread it further. Help us reach a larger audience. Regards.
Thanks to O2india team for making these episodes..
Never knew sir belong to Guru Dutt family. Yet decided to stand on his own feet. Orchestra conducted in Prague is expensive, yet totally worth. What a legend. Wish I had more from this interview. Well done 👍
Dear Mr. Naik. Prior to this episode there were two more epsiodes with Mr. Benegal. Hope you watched them. Else visit our channel o2india and watch them. We will be keen to get your views on those episodes too. Warm Regards.
ARR. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Sarforsh ki thamana... luv tht song
First things first - I’m in love with this series and eagerly waiting for each new episode. That said, this episode left a lot to imagination. Bose and Zubeida are two most underrated gems which haven’t got their right due, at least with the masses.
I was expecting a bit more from the conversation with Shayam Benegal. Like, why Lata Mangeshkar didn’t sing Ekla Chalo or ‘Zikr’, one of the most beautiful compositions of ARR wasn’t properly filmed. The songs were used in bits and pieces in Shayam Benegal movies to move forward the narrative, like they do in West which was a novel things back in the day for desi movie goers and maybe that’s why the music didn’t capture the imagination of masses - or maybe something else. Don’t know. Anyways, best luck with the upcoming episodes.
Dear Mr. Anjum. We are delighted to have informed and enlightened viewers like you. You have the capacity to initiate an informed discussion. With due respect to your opinion, allow us to mention, if you check the entire filmography of Mr. Benegal there are very few songs that were lip- synked. So you are right that the songs were used to take the narrative forward. Mr. Benegal also confirmed that the film wasn't really released very well... We are sure that you are aware that there were protests in West Bengal regarding the projection of Mr. Bose especially his marriage. All these factors did impact the film and its music. Please stay with the series. Warm regards.
This and last episode is more of Shyam Benegal and less of ARR
ARR means combination of Love and Spirituality. Hat’s off Sir ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This series just gets better and better, every episode is a masterclass on its own.... Thank you for bringing it to us.... As for the use of Western orchestras, I've seen them enhancing the level of the music each time our composers go to them ... a Rahman, an Ilaiyaraaja or an Ajay Atul for Sairat.... All have a huge credit in raising the level of the audiences... To understand harmonies, rhythms, counterpoints...Kudos for what is already TH-cam history in the making....i wish we could have similar milestones for Ilaiyaraaja and RD Burman for starters....
Dear Mr. Narayanaswami. Thank you very much. It's viewers like you who kep us going. Please stay with thseries. Spread it further. Help us reach a larger audience base. regards.
Really good episode. Got to know more about Shyam Benegal and his gr8ness and his perspective about ARR. Eagerly waiting 4 next episode with Lagaan director.
Dear Mr. Bhupati. We are glad that you liked the episode. and we are able to entertain you with our incisive content. Regards
Anchor is asking very intelligent questions
Dear Mr. Mohan. You message was conveyed to Mr. Umesh Aggarwal, the director and interviewer forthis series. He was delighted, expressed his gratitude. He will right to you too. Please stay with the series. Spread it further. Help us reach a larger audience. Regards.
My favorite songs of this album are Aazadi, Ekla Cholo, Desh Ki Mitti, Ghoomparani...excellenty composed...
Dear sir... From our perspective, it's a rare album. You are spot on. We are glad to be with you on the same page. Regards.
The azadi chorus at the crescendo is sheer goosebumps..
Ghoomparani is simply amazing
Most underrated ALBum , i rate this album best in India
The most amazing album of arr
Dear Sir... We agree. That's why we decided to devote a complete episode to this album. Please stay with the series. Spread it further. Help us reach a larger audience. Regards.
I watched all the three episodes featuring Shyam Benegal in this series.
Rahman and Benegal have striking similarities. Both refused to walk on the beaten track and created paths of their own. Benegal challenged the status quo in film production and Rahman in music composition.
No wonder, Benegal, himself an iconoclast, chose Rahman to compose music for Zubaida breaking his long association with Vanraj Bhatia. Rahman did not disappoint him and did a wonderful job in Zubaida. The partnership flourished further -creatively, if not commercially- in Netaji: a Forgotten Hero. We look forward to their further creative collaborations.👍👍👍.
Dear Mr. Malvey. Thank you very much. Your comments are always in-depth and analytical. We are honoured to have viewers like you. Regards.
Appreciation to Film maker for production of highly placed real story . Contribution of others is their role .
Wonderful Work by you to give us lots of details about our favourite composer. Really love this channel. Will be very happy if more people see these lovely episodes.
What a gentle and humble human Benegal is
Dear Mr. Thoyyib... Most people who are intelligent and talented - are humble too. That's what we experienced with Mr. Benegal, Mr. Gulzar, Mr. Mani Ratnam and also Mr. Rahman. Thanks for watching Rahman Music Sheets. Kindly stay with the series and spread it further. Regards.
Some great music in this album, especially Zikr, Des Ki Mitti, and Hitler Theme.
Very underrated channel, i must say!
Dear Mr. Tirpuday. Thanks. We are trying to create good and indepth comtent. Viewers like you validate our work. Please stay with the series. Spread it further. Help us reach a larger audience. Regards.
Wish some of ARR music is played too…waiting for the next episode.
This channel deserves a million views. Instead, the country would rather wallow in the filth of beer biceps.
We are delighted to see your appreciation. thanks a lot. Kindly share this channel further....
Amazing series! Enjoying every episode. Would it be possible to interview with musicians who have worked with him as in guitarists/violinists etc. Would love to hear from them how it was like for them working with rahman in contrast to other composers. Thank you!
Thanks for watching and shraing your thoughts and suggestions. We will certainly try and feature them as well.
Hope you are aware that on our channel o2india there are 70+ epsiodes with stalwarts who collaborated with Mr. Rahman. And we release new episodes every Thursday at 2P.M.. Kindly visit our channel and watch these episodes. (If done already, you can revisit them.. every time you will notice something new) Plesae subscribe to our channel and share it with your family, friends, and groups. Regards.
azadi had the potential to become another maa tujhe salaam
This is so far my favorite episode just because there were no cover songs in between. It is my humble request to the producers that they release the content without any featured covers, it certainly is not something the audience come here for. A small dose of information per week that too with covers in between makes the videos less engaging.
Dear Mam. Thank you very much for your appreciation. It means a lot. With due respect to your perspective about Cover Songs, allow us to mention that we use them to showcase how Mr. Rahman's music defies all physical & cultural boundaries. There are many viewers who like them also. To respect our viewers, we have tried to create a balance. We use covers in a manner that the narrative is not broken but just punctuated. Hope you will understand our point of view and stay with the series. We need great viewers like you. regards.
How great director works ?
Brilliant example. Shyam Bengal defines Ar r evolution in this movie.
Dear Mr. Acharya. You are absolutely right. Regards.
ഹമ്മോ... Proud to watch this.. Thalaiv_ARR #AR_RAHMAN #SUBHASH_CHANDRA_BOSE
Could you please upload the video where AR sir actually plays this unreleased piano piece that you use here as a theme? We've heard it in his Jai Ho documentary. Is there a full version of it? Has it been titled?
Dear Mr. Hamza. Mr. Rahman was gracious enough to record this piece for us. We are blessed and honoured. Please stay with the series. Spread it further. Help us reach a larger audience. Regards.
I had a nice time watching this episode :)
♥️
Nice Vlog
INA was a group that converted itself into an army spontaneously. And was not paid mercenaries unlike most organised armies today.
Also different, was INA took support of Hitler, and not the rather controversial "non violence" of the brahmin bania duo of Nehru and Gandhi. It also had a large muslim numbers, unlike the then "Indian" British army.
