AR Rahman

Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava is doing great business at the box office. However, despite the film’s overwhelming success, one crucial aspect has fallen short of expectations: A.R. Rahman’s music and BGM.

The maestro, who has been celebrated globally for his iconic soundtracks, is facing a backlash for the first time in a long while.

Chhaava, based on the life of Maratha king Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, was expected to feature music that would complement the historical grandeur of the narrative. Instead, fans are calling Rahman’s compositions for the film forgettable and even absurd.

A.R. Rahman’s work in Chhaava has left many questioning if his creative spark has dimmed. Fans are vocal on social media, expressing disappointment at the lack of impact in the soundtrack.

Majority believe that Ajay-Atul, known for their powerful compositions in period films would have done justice to the project.

Rahman’s lackluster music is proving to be a talking point. In fact, some have even pointed out that certain background tunes resemble those from Tere Naam, which only adds to the feeling that Rahman’s magic is fading.

AR Rahman is now scoring the music for Ram Charan’s next film, directed by Buchi Babu Sana. After the disaster of Game Changer by Shankar, Charan’s fans are very concerned about his upcoming project. They don’t want anything to go wrong this time.

Music and background score play a critical role in the success of any film today. So, if AR Rahman delivers another substandard performance in RC 16 like he did in Chhaava, it could severely affect the film. There will likely be a flood of negativity and trolling on social media if the music doesn’t hit the mark.

Fans are demanding that AR Rahman be replaced by someone more aligned with current musical trends.




This is a big jolt to Buchi Babu and Ram Charan even before any musical content is out from the film. There is already a negativity surrounding the film due to Rahman’s underwhelming work in Chhaava.
