n April 1995, Rahmans third film with Mani Ratnam, the controversial Bombay was released. The successful partnership that he had forged with his mentor went to new heights with the music of this film. The music of Bombay was one of the most awaited scores and was hailed as a classic. With this film, Rahman also formally took to playback singing. Rahman had lent his voice to his compositions earlier too but they had been part of the chorus or bit pieces like Marhaba in Urvashi in Kadhalan or background pieces and interludes like Yelelo in Chinna Chinna Aasai in Roja. But Hamma Hamma in Bombay was Rahmans first complete song. With Humma Humma Rahman came to be regarded as much a playback singer as a composer. It became an amusing and common sight at various award functions to see the comperes trying to cajole Rahman into singing on stage and Rahman coming up with hilarious excuses to avoid the same. Bombay also became the first Rahman film to be released in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi simultaneously. Humma Humma became an instant chartbuster and went on to become the blockbuster of the year. https://youtube/watch?v=wWyN-o9IH4I
