R. Rahman. Right from the chimes of "Chinna Chinna Aasai" in "Roja" to the sufiyana tunes of "Guru", A. R. Rahman has enchanted the whole generation of a nation with his out-of-this-world genre of music. He has made a home in the heart of every Indian. *Rahmania* is an attempt to bring this genius out of those hearts and have conversation with them through his music. This is the only show which presents a compiled program of his songs, much because of his complex orchestration and offbeat type of music. A. R.Rahman being synonymous with Youth, Zeal, Verve and Exuberance, the show comprises of some of Pune's best young musical talents along with some budding ones, who are already working together under the name *The Wandering Souls*.
