In less than 20 years, AR Rahman has come to dominate Indian popular music by breaking all of its borders.S Subramanian reads a new biography of Bollywood's great assimilator.AR Rahman: The Musical Storm Kamini Mathai Penguin India Dh38 The Indian composer AR Rahman, recent winner of a pair of Academy Awards for his jaunty songs in Slumdog Millionaire, has over the years demonstrated a keen talent for reaching new, rapidly appreciative audiences. This talent is typically discussed in reference to his work outside India, which began early this century when he collaborated with Andrew Lloyd Webber on the saccharine West End confection Bombay Dreams, pairing reworked versions of some of his most outstanding songs from the 1990s with some of his worst original music. Since then, his work has featured on Broadway and in Chinese and Hollywood films. All this, particularly the Slumdog Oscars, has made Rahman the first Indian composer to find substantial audiences beyond the already large world of his country's film industry.

But Rahman's first, more impressive feat of border-crossing occurred much earlier, when he became the first Indian composer with a pan-Indian audience. So often is Bollywood used as a symbol of the entire Indian film industry that it is ea

The Aquarium and the Imperial Theatre together occupied about 3 acres, a site that stretched as far back as St James’ Park tube station. Designed by Alfred Bedborough, the Royal Aquarium was highly ornamental and faced with Portland stone, being very much like that of the ‘Crystal Palace’ erected in Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851 and subsequently moved to south London. The Aquarium was opened in 1876 and had some fish but it also staged exhibits such as ‘The World’s Strongest Woman’, ‘Boxing Kangaroos’, human cannonballs, the ‘Leopard Boy.’ Its best known artist was the music hall star ‘Champagne Charlie’ - George Leybourne.

The Aquarium’s poor reputation earned it the nickname ‘the Devil’s acre.’ So the purchase of the premises by the Wesleyan Methodist Church was therefore amicable. The first meeti
