Our country has experienced many great creators of music in the past few decades but one of them has taken the world by storm. He is none other than, Allah Rakha Rahman – the Musical Storm as he is better known as. The Oscar Winning composer and music producer launched his first ever biography, ‘Notes of a Dream: The Authorized Biography of A.R.

Two giants from the book industry, Landmark and Penguin Random Book House joined hands to successfully celebrate the launch of the legend’s biography.
