A.R. Rahman brought Indian music to the ears and hearts of millions in the west with the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack but has proved he's so much more than just "Jai Ho" on his 16-city world tour, Jai Ho The Journey Home. 

After an unfortunate accident that caused Rahman's summer show in Toronto to be rescheduled, the ACC finally hosted this musical legend on Sunday night with thousands of fans singing along to hits from Indian films like Lagaan, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, Dil Se, Rang De Basanti, Roja and of course, Slumdog Millionaire. Joined by dozens of dancers, singers and musicians on stage, Rahman offered the crowd a dazzling performance to compliment music that spanned a handful of decades and genres in a single night. 

The dynamic stage set evoked a golden palace, with a pair of movable staircases lifting the performers above the crowd. Just as often, they used a curved catwalk to get closer to the audience. Video projections and a fiery light show completed the celebratory atmosphere.

As a composer, musician, producer and singer, Rahman has won dozens of prestigious awards, including two Academy Awards, a Golden Globe, a Critics Choice Award and a BAFTA. This incredibly talented artist is known for experimenting with different styles of songs and constantly pushing the boundaries of Indian music, it's no wonder he's been honored as one of TIME Magazine's World's Most Influential People and is one of the world's top selling recording artists of all time. 

The songs performed during Jai Ho The Journey Home were influenced by hip-hop, rock, reggae and pop, as well as traditional Indian music, and were played with a variety of interesting instruments including a keytar and sitar, alongside the more common piano, keyboard and drums. Though obviously talented in all genres of music, it was Rahman's older, more traditional songs that the audience went wild with excitement over and that really demonstrated his strengths as an artist. There was a fantastic mix of young and old in the Toronto audience on Sunday night, a testament to Rahman's ability to reach people of all ages and from all different walks of life.
