I agree. This will be a winner, but am not so sure about the semi classical bit. If Mani makes a modern day adaptation of Ramayana, the music may be surprisingly contemporary and youthful. Only time will tell ( or ARR) :)

Ravana sounds very interesting in terms of musical scope. I can foresee ARR using a lot of semi-classical stuff in the album given the historical references just based on the title alone. The Ram-Sita-Ravana triangle in symbolic form could really trigger a cascade of wonderful, creative opportunities for Rahman, esp. given Mani Ratnam's directorship. I am confident that this album will be a winner!
