Reviewing the Music of #LaalSinghChaddha (2022), latest home production of #AamirKhan

The only way to revive #IndianFilmMusic is to bring back #ClassicalRaagas in our songs! Almost all contemporary music fails to reach anywhere near the heights of #Lagaan (2001) or #DilSe (1998) because #IndianClassicalMusic has vanished in the last two decades. The soul of our music is our immortal Raagas: Bhairav, Bhairvi, Malkauns, Darbari, Malhar, and dozens more! #AamirKhan cites two songs as his inspiration, #OhReTaalMile (Anokhi Raat, 1968) and #TereMereSapne (Guide, 1965): 1st based on Raag #Pilu, 2nd on Raag #Gara! Apparently, his #LaalSinghChaddha team forgot the Raags behind the classics so their music disappoints ultimately! Sharing some examples from @ARRahman Golden Era as a humble reminder of our leading artists' creativity!
