The Story in Brief
Music composer Anirudh Ravichander has revealed that the viral track 'Raga of Revenge' from the Tamil film DC was composed in just 48 hours. He told Mashable India and Sun TV that the track was originally scored for a trailer to be screened at the Cannes Film Festival, months before the film's release. The idea was to showcase both North and South India by combining a South Indian beat with Hindustani vocals. The trailer was sent to Cannes, and the track was later released online, becoming an instant hit. DC, starring director Lokesh Kanagaraj in his acting debut alongside Wamiqa Gabbi, has been praised for Anirudh's music and background score. Directed by Arun Matheswaran, the film is a modern adaptation of the Devdas story and is performing well at the box office.
The Indian Opinion
The story of a hit track whipped up in 48 hours risks feeding the myth that art is effortless. Fans often treat such tales as proof of genius, ignoring the years of training and intuition behind it. The fusion of South Indian rhythm and Hindustani vocals was deliberate, not accidental. The real test is whether the film's score, made under similar haste, holds up beyond the trailer's novelty. Will the rest of the soundtrack match this one-off spark?
