The glimpse of Ranbir Kapoor as Rama from Ramayana was released earlier and received a positive response from audiences. However, the film’s music is drawing unexpected criticism from fans who are comparing it unfavorably with M. M. Keeravani’s work.
AR Rahman and Hans Zimmer vs Keeravani
Even the collaboration between A.R. Rahman and Hollywood maestro Hans Zimmer for Ramayana has fallen short of expectations when compared to M. M. Keeravani’s music in the Varanasi glimpse. Social media discussions reveal that fans are making direct comparisons between the two epic adaptations.
Keeravani’s Divine Touch Sets the Bar
When audiences hear the music of Varanasi’s glimpse, it creates an immersive experience. The composition not only evokes goosebumps but delivers a feeling of divine, pure bliss — a signature quality that has made Keeravani a legendary musician in Indian cinema.
The legendary composer’s ability to blend devotional elements with cinematic grandeur has set a benchmark that many composers find challenging to match.
Time for Course Correction
As of now, there is considerable time before Ramayana’s release. Fans are hopeful that the music of AR Rahman and Hans Zimmer will incorporate this early feedback to deliver the best possible background score for the epic adaptation.
The Rahman-Zimmer partnership was announced as a historic collaboration, and audiences still expect the final musical output to match the film’s grand scale and spiritual depth.
