Bharadwaj Rangan on Raavan Songs

Bharadwaj Rangan is disappointed with A.,R.Rahman in Raavan: the music is so complicated that some of the joy of losing oneself in music, it is lost- at least that is what I understood from this review, where he mixes admiration with criticism- do check it out: Head Games

"...after four or five listens to AR Rahman’s soundtrack for Raavan, were about how much head-music there was, and how much he’s completely abandoned the notion of catering to us heart-music lovers, we poor, sentimental fools....With Raavan, I couldn’t shake off the disappointment that, despite all the evident effort, there is no solitary dazzler, no Aaromale, no Rehna tu, no Rehnuma (and that was un film de Anthony D’Souza, for crying out loud)."
