In the early hours of January 27, with heavy fog swirling all around, when A. R. Rahman took to the mic at Bollywood Parks to ask the audience if they were ready for one more song, the resounding yes left one in no doubt about the talent of the man who answers to the sobriquet of Mozart of Madras.
A moniker Rahman lived up to through the night along with his talented posse of singers including Neeti Mohan, Armaan Malik, Benny Dayal, Jonita Gandhi, Haricharan Seshadri, Harshdeep Kaur and Javed Ali.
A bit late perhaps but @arrahman brings #Dubai to its feet with a rousing rendition of #VandeMataram to celebrate #Republicday2018 pic.twitter.com/orXrFabbS1The 3 and a half hour concert was a true celebration of A. R. Rahman's 25-year journey in the music industry spanning Tamil and Hindi songs proving yet again his pan-Indian appeal. There was even the high-energy Padakaali song from the Mohanlal starrer Yodha to keep his Malayali fans happy, done with great gusto by Benny Dayal and Haricharan Seshadri.

The super talented @neetimohan18 wows with #JiyaRe from #JabTakHaiJaan at #ARRahman concert pic.twitter.com/M6lWtIaKncStage-managing the entire show, seated with his prized possesion, the grand piano on a raised platform, he was the master of ceremonies, bringing all the different elements together. For much of the concert, Rahman showcased his vocals, wowing even the sceptics with his high range - and then allowed the others to infuse a peppy atmosphere.

Amazing VFX on display at #ARRahman concert in #Dubai pic.twitter.com/pFPn5Lpa9hThe only song that stood out like a sore thumb among all the classics was the Battery song from Rajinkanth's upcoming 2.0 movie by Shankar. But one which might soon be taking over the nightclubs for all we know.

. @ArmaanMalik22 brings his energetic charm to #BollywoodParksDubai with this #Tamasha song pic.twitter.com/H4ko7y4rT4The last one hour of the much-delayed concert was perhaps the best part of the show - the swirling fog might have made visibility an issue for many seated behind, and dropping temperatures ensured only the brave were left behind as A.R Rahman brought The Journey: A Celebration of Music to a rousing end at nearly one in the morning on January 27. With a cheeky, "I'm late as usual." statement as he wished the gathered revellers a happy Republic Day (India celebrated its 69th Republic Day on January 26) he launched into the patriotic Maa Tujhe Salaam that had nearly everyone in the audience swaying on their feet.
