Film Chhaava stimulates intense debate
Factually Hindi film Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, a fierce warrior and son of Shivaji, is a lesser figure in Indian history. His brutal execution at the hands of Aurangzeb and his unwavering resistance have rarely been explored in mainstream cinema.
Chhaava is an exceptional tribute that finally did justice to the story.
However, A. R. Rahman generated a lot of attention—6oss languages and genres proves his genius.
Some are even calling the backlash religiously motivated, predicting that he will face similar attacks when his music for Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana releases.
It is their argument that Keeravani, notwithstanding Baahubali phenomenon, lacks Rahman’s innovation and is often repetitive.
The question remains—was ARR an inspired choice, or did he strip away the soul of this historical epic?
Or if Keeravani could have given Chhaava the pulsating BGM which it truly deserved.
