As I go around the net, gauging people's reactions to RDB's music, reading reviews, impressions, reading blogs (thanks to Gops!), I am just wonderstruck how each and every song from RDB has been declared a favorite by more than a handful of people. Whether it's the title song being seen as the best, or Paathshaala, or Rubaru, or Khalbali, or Lukka Chuppi, etc. etc., almost every song is a favorite of someone's. I think that says a lot about this very diverse and fresh soundtrack. The only track not declared a fav is Lalkaar, but that's not really a song. Despite sales being sluggish in certain key areas, I am really struck by the positive responses by many out there to this music. The negative responses are there too, but far, far outnumbered by positive reviews. I would say close to 95% of the reactions I am guaging from online users are overwhelmingly positive.
I hope this overall positive reaction and good reactions to the movie do translate into higher sales, but I am noticing that soundtracks which appeal to urban folks generally don't sell well in interior regions. It's just amazing how Rahman reigns in such a response, regardless of sales. Interestingly, I am getting to like the song Khalbali more. I am reading more and more folks out there declaring this song to be their favorites andin some ways, I can see why. I didn't like the song at all when I first heard it, but it's pretty infectious. Hats off to ARR for an uplifting and fresh soundtrack that is putting joy into many people's hearts and making us simply rock. The album does deserve it's share of criticisms about absence of Rahman's usual thick layering and other points, but I have not seen such an overwhelmingly positive reaction to a soundtrack in a long time.
