<div class="section1"><div class="Normal"><span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Bombay Dreams</span> may not have scored high points in terms of its content, but our little man from Chennai has become an instant hit with the westerners. <br />Rahman''s music has caught the fancy of the west and broken new ground, and to his credit, the British press called him the ''Mozart of Madras'' while Lloyd Webber compared him to boxing legend Muhammed Ali as ''the greatest'' and went on to emotionally kiss him on stage.From <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Roja to Dil Se to Taal to Lagaan to Bombay Dreams, Rahman took Indian music to dazzling heights. The wiz kid from Chennai has grown into a maestro! </span></div> </div>
