I never knew that day will come so soon (read the last para of my last post).
Today, a super mega budget movie borrowed the soundtrack from our ARR’s score!! Nicolas Cage’s movie ‘Lord of War’ uses our ARR’s Bombay theme. When Nicolas cage gets arrested in Africa - the sun sets down, we hear Bombay […]
