Taj Mahal is a 2008 Indian Kannadaromantic drama film directed and written by R. Chandru and starring Ajay Rao and Pooja Gandhi.[3] Produced by T. Shivashankar Reddy, the film is Chandru's directoral debut. The film opened on 25 July 2008, and had a 200-day run in Karanataka.[4][5][6] Music director Abhiman Roy was awarded the Best Music Director accolade at the Karnataka State Film Awards for his film score. Taj Mahal was one of the most successful Kannada-language films of 2008.[7] It was remade in Telugu under the same title - Taj Mahal in 2010 starring Sivaji.[8][9][10]
Synopsis[edit]
Ajaykumar (Ajay Rao), an honest, poor boy from a village, hands over a lost suitcase to the police. He tells them that his name is Kumar and leaves his cell number. Shruthi (Pooja Gandhi), the owner of the suitcase, is immensely happy when she gets her father's suitcase back, and calls Kumar to thank him.
They speak over the phone many times and slowly fall in love. Incidentally they both study in the same engineering college, but Shruthi knows her lover only as Kumar. In college he is known as Ajay. Shruthi is not aware that Ajay and Kumar are the same person and flatly rejects Ajay when he proposes to her. In confusion and deep agony, Ajay decides to finish his engineering and go back to his village but on the examination day he gets a call from Shruthi.
Shruthi's father is back from abroad and is seriously looking for Kumar who is seeking isolation in his village. By the time Shruthi comes to know that Kumar and Ajay are one and the same person, meanwhile Ajay (Ajay Rao) was no longer live.[clarification needed]
Production[edit]
Sunil Raoh was asked to play the lead but backed out, citing personal reasons. Ajay Rao, who had one successful role in the film Excuse Me, replaced Raoh. Taj Mahal's success enhanced Rao's career.
Upon the film's release, some viewers called Chandru, accusing him of basing the film on their lives. Chandru dismissed these claims and stated that the film was based on events in a friend's life.[11]

Critical response[edit]
Rediff.com awarded the film 3.5 stars out of 5, writing, 'Taj Mahal blends pure romance with a right portion of sentiment and a bit of humour. And it is ably complimented by its excellent music and brilliant cinematography. The film also underlines the importance of parents' contribution to the future of their children, and how such an important factor is missed out by today's youngsters.. Performance-wise, Ajay has come out with his best till date. The actor, who made a very good first impression with Prem's Excuse Me, has bounced back with this powerful performance. Pooja Gandhi looks stunning and has worked hard to give a very strong performance.'[12]
indiaglitz.com rated the film 7.5 out of 10 and stated that Ajay Rao 'has done his role quite comfortably. Pooja Gandhi the heroine to watch on Kannada screen has been very good in emotions.'[13]
Sify rated the film 4 out of 5 and wrote that Rao 'has done it impressively and he is looking for a major breakthrough. Pooja Gandhi looks pretty and has done a good job. Suresh Mangalore Rangayana Raghu and Ananthnag are apt.'[14]
Box office[edit]
The film was released in Karnataka and completed a 200-day theatrical run. The film grossed over ₹10 crore (US$1.4 million) at the Indian box-office, against a budget of ₹2.5 crore.[15][16][better source needed]

About Taj Mahal
Hindi Movie Taj Mahal
Here is a man who has closely studied and preserved the roots music of African Americans since he began playing the Boston folk scene in the 1960s. He studied the history and formulas of Caribbean, West African, Zydeco, rock, jazz, and R&B. In fact, it was always the music of Country Blues that has influenced most of his own music. After learning how to play a multitude of instruments, Taj Mahal moved to Los Angeles and teamed up with Ry Cooder to form the Rising Sons, who split after one single was released (more songs from these sessions were released in the 1990s). Taj Mahal finally recorded his first solo album in 1968, shortly before playing an incredible performance of the Banks/Parker hit, 'Ain't That a Lot of Love' on the Rolling Stones' Rock & Roll Circus with the late, great Jessie Ed Davis on lead guitar. Following what his fans believe to be his prime years, Taj Mahal went on to experiment with whatever music genre he was infatuated with at the time, and also wrote some scores for the stage as well as television and film. Those who know his music well can testify that when he played Country Blues, the Taj was at his best. His rich soulful singing has an ultra-deep dynamic range that fits perfectly with the driving shuffle-beats and bass bounce of this particular blues subgenre.Bebop Digital
