AR Rahman in New York City

AR Rahman mesmerized the audience with a medley of songs, including some vintage Rahman numbers, such as ‘Chaiyya Chaiyya’ from the movie ‘Dil Se’ and ‘Humma humma’ from the movie ‘Bombay’. Jai Ho, the hit song from Slumdog Millionaire that captured the imagination of music lovers worldwide, was the finale.

The show is the biggest Bollywood production of its type in the United States.

Organizers said that the groundwork for the concert began in September of last year.
