The A. R. Rahman & Raj Zutshi partnership

After 16 years apart, they came back together for Mom (2017). They didn't share a set between 2001 and 2017. From Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India (2001) to Mom (2017).

Mom is the one most viewers reach for. It started with Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India (2001).

The shape of the work

The 2000s belonged to Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India; the 2010s to Mom. Never on the same side of the camera — A. R. Rahman original music composer, Raj Zutshi actor, across all 3 films. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

3 films across 2 decades

The 2000s accounted for 2 films, averaging 5.9/10.

The 2010s brought 1 film together, anchored by Mom (7.8/10).
