Today's TOI report on 3D tour has a box item which says that certain reviews of the stage adaptation of MM Kaye's 'Far Pavilions' mention that the show would have been better if Rahman was its composer. Far Pavilions is the love story between an Indian princess and a British Officer set in British Raj. The Indian connection could be the reasn why Rahman's name cropped up in the reviews.

Rahman of Bombay Dreams were composing, would have a far greater Indian sound" http://www.asiansinmedia.org/news/article.php/theatre/919 "While Bombay Dreams had the mighty A.R. Rahman, Far Pavilions reduces Indian musical heritage to a bunch of white guys in Indian garb trying to do Bhangra and a few tabla beats at the end of some songs" Karthik www.itwofs.com This August, Discover the Birth of Your Independence and The Magic of A.R.Rahman's Music in Mangal Pandey - The Rising http://www.risingthefilm.com http://www.mangalpandeythefilm.com Music released: Jul 14, 2005 Movie releases: Aug 12, 2005 Explore, Experience, Enjoy A.R.Rahman - The Man, The Music, The Magic.
