I finally gathered the time to give the sountrack of Raavan a patient listen. I was rather kicked about writing a music review after a long time — but the music was disappointing, so I don’t have much to say. The songs of Raavan might just make more sense when seen in the context of the film.
The song that excited me in the trailer is Beera, which is one of the only two songs in the album I liked. The second is Khili Re, but just for Reena Bharadwaj. She is the female who sang the fabulous Yeh Rishta from Meenaxi. Pity she doesn’t sing more often.
That being said, I wouldn’t count out the other songs as yet. I’ve liked songs by Rahman months after listening to them.

Totally agree to the review, except that I thought only Beera deserved a second hear. But that might be cos I find Reena Bharadwaj’s voice way to screechy. Hoping the music grows on me though, in the usual Rahman way!

Hmm… I expected more I guess…
I have either liked or not liked Rahman songs in the first 2 times I hear the song…so lemme get hold of the soundtracks and then decide…

Hey, have you read the review by Bharadwaj Rangan? He’s summed it up beautifully.

i loved beera immediately too, not so sure about the others yet either. they all seem to have potential…but…not hitting it (yet). which is a surprise because even the artists are all my favorites…rekha bharadwaj, vijay prakash, etc. i’m going to try and see if the tamil version is any different/improved.
