Ravi Basrur became a household name after delivering a sensational score for KGF: Chapter 1, KGF: Chapter 2 and Salaar. His powerful music played a major role in elevating those films and creating a larger-than-life experience for audiences.

However, things have not gone as planned in recent years. Despite working on several high-profile projects, Basrur has struggled to recreate the magic of KGF or Salaar. Films like Kattalan failed to impress music lovers, and his work in Yash’s Toxic received mixed reactions from audiences.

The action drama carried huge expectations, especially because of the successful combination of Yash and Ravi Basrur. Fans expected a thunderous soundtrack, but that was missing completely. Social media is filled with discussions about how the background score failed to create the impact expected from a film of that scale.

Now, all eyes are on Dragon, directed by Prashanth Neel. The director and composer previously delivered career-defining work together through the KGF series. Many fans believe that Neel understands Basrur’s strengths better than anyone else and knows how to extract his best work.

The news is that Basrur has already given some good tracks and is preparing a solid BGM for the Jr NTR starrer. Can Dragon bring back the vintage Ravi Basrur and recreate the KGF-level magic? Let’s see what happens.
