Happy Birthday AR Rahman: 20 best Tamil songs of the Mozart of Madras

AR Rahman is one of the best composers in the world that we have today. Starting off as an erstwhile keyboard player to music maestro Ilayaraja, Rahman's much-needed break happened when ace filmmaker Mani Ratnam's Roja released in 1992.

The album fetched him the National Award for Best Music Direction. From then, every song of his became infectiously addictive.
