The music of Ramayana, composed by AR Rahman and Hans Zimmer, has become a major talking point among audiences. While several viewers feel the background score does not have the expected impact, there is another side to the discussion that deserves attention.

Both Rahman and Zimmer are globally respected composers known for their distinctive musical styles. Their approach to Ramayana is more subtle and international rather than relying on loud, heavy-duty background music.

Indian audiences who are used to powerful elevations are finding the score a bit dull initially. However, the music has been designed to complement the film’s visuals and emotional moments. Such an approach can create a class experience, particularly for a global audience.

AR Rahman has also responded to criticism, highlighting the enormous effort and hard work involved in creating the film’s music. His reaction indicates how much dedication went into making Ramayana’s music.

Rahman and Zimmer are not ordinary composers who need to prove their credentials. The score may not satisfy everyone but it deserves appreciation and is the biggest strength of the film, especially in all the action and dramatic scenes.
