At the start of Rangeela, AR Rahman announced his arrival in Hindi cinema with the pulsating opening of the title track, “Rangeela Re.” But he was sounding the bugle not just for himself, but also for choreographer Ahmed Khan, as Hindi film audiences had never seen that kind of street-style choreography on screen before. Nor had they experienced the dreamy visual language of a Ram Gopal Varma film. Urmila Matondkar, once the bright child actor from Shekhar Kapur’s Masoom (1983), burst onto the screen here, announcing her transition into a confident leading lady. There was only one voice at the start of Rangeela — strikingly familiar yet rebelliously raw — that served as a reassuring nod to a disoriented audience transported into a whole new world. “Yaayi re, yaayi re, zorr laga ke nache re,” sang the then-62-year-old Asha Bhosle, who breathed her last today. She invited the audience to embrace the new, just like she had done in each of the five decades she had made a mark in since her debut in 1943. …

Today, on the passing of my all-time favourite singer, the legendary Asha Bhosle ji, I find myself reflecting deeply. In Rangeela, it was Rahman who composed the music, but it was Asha ji’s voice that infused it with an immortal soul and raw, youthful fire. ‘Rangeela Re’ wasn’t just a song; it was a thunderclap that shook Bollywood. Singer Asha Bhosle at an event celebrating Marathi Language Day in February 2025. (AFP/File) Urmila’s electrifying moves on the raw, pulsating streets of Mumbai fused seamlessly with Asha ji’s playful sensuality, mischievous energy, and unimaginable vocal range, creating pure cinematic magic that redefined the rebellious spirit of film music. I remember her walking into the studio with the poise of a queen, yet carrying the wide-eyed, childlike curiosity of a newcomer hungry to experiment with a new-age music director like Rahman. One take, a small adjustment in phrasing or emotion, and the magic flowed like a torrential storm. Coincidentally, today marks the 24th anniversary of her track ‘Khallas’ from my film ‘Company’, starring fiery Isha Koppikar. That …

AR Rahman admits he has lost work in Bollywood in the last 8 years: ‘Maybe it’s a communal thing; people who are not creative have the power now’ | Bollywood News

AR Rahman may be one of the most prolific music composers in Bollywood today, but it took him seven years to feel at home while composing Hindi songs. He made his Bollywood debut with Mani Ratnam’s 1991 romantic thriller Roja, and went on to do a trilogy with him — Roja, Bombay (1995), and Dil Se.. (1998). He also made a dent with Ram Gopal Varma’s 1995 romantic comedy Rangeela, which was completely different from the Mani Ratnam films. The composer who believes it took him years to feel like an insider in Bollywood, also opened up on losing out on work in the last eight years in the Hindi film industry and also wondered about its causes. But it wasn’t until Subhash Ghai’s 1999 romantic drama Taal that he stopped feeling like an outsider in Hindi cinema. “Actually, I was still an outsider with these three (Roja, Bombay, Dil Se..), but Taal became a household (album). It entered the kitchens of everybody, so to say. Even now, most of the North Indians still have …

Ahmed Khan’s breakthrough as a choreographer happened with Ram Gopal Varma’s 1995 blockbuster romantic film Rangeela. One of his most memorable songs from the film was “Hai Rama,” filmed on Jackie Shroff and Urmila Matondkar. Ahmed recently recalled how in a dance sequence, Jackie lifted and spun Urmila so aggressively that she even got a bruise. “Jaggu da makes it look very rough, but he’s not. He’s a soft man. But the way he held her, he got Urmila in one or two places. We were shooting their catfight sequence in Mehboob Studio. He had to turn and spin her. He really spun her because that’s the moment we wanted her to take a full pivot. That’s when she got a bruise on her arm,” recalls Ahmed on the inaugural edition of SCREEN Spotlight. “Jaggu da told me, ‘Bhedu, tu tension mat le. Main sab sambhal loonga.’ And I was very young to tell him to hold the girl passionately. How would a 19-year-old teach it, that too to Jaggu da? I still remember Jaggu …

Ahmed Khan is a filmmaker now, but his breakthrough as a choreographer came with Ram Gopal Varma’s 1995 seminal romantic film Rangeela. The movie gained a cult status because of how much it pushed the envelope in terms of not only the costumes, but also the music and choreography. It marked the breakthrough of not only Ahmed, but also composer AR Rahman and costume designer Manish Malhotra. “To my surprise, I don’t know why Ram Gopal Varma offered me that film because I was a very young boy. And during those days, in 1994, it was very tough to penetrate and walk into a studio. And here he was, offering me a film. So, it took me a while to understand if it’s really happened or if he’s joking,” recalled Ahmed in the inaugural edition of SCREEN Spotlight. At that time, Ahmed Khan was working under the busiest choreographer Saroj Khan. Whenever her dates would clash, assistants like Ahmed had to step in to cover her for a song shoot. “One day, she was abroad …
