Hi.. that's nice to hear Rahman has worked with IR in Sadma. I always felt that Rahman's 'Bombay Theme' has some similarity with 'Surmai Akhiyon Mein' (Kanne Kalaimane in tamil) from Sadma. The raaga and emotions expressed sounds similar. May be Rahman has his hand on this original tune :) Just my guess :)
