With the recent release of the complete music jukebox by ‘Homebale Films,’ viewers are praising the background score and songs composed by Ravi Basrur. The voice behind the track ‘Kaali Maa,’ sung by South African singer Shashika Mooruth, has garnered significant interest among netizens.

The Hindi track ‘Kaali Maa,’ penned by lyricist Riya Mukherjee, showcases Ravi Basrur’s talent in finding voices that perfectly match the theme and background, leading to gripping sequences in the film. The song has not only resonated well with the masses but also immerses the audience in the heart of the narrative, becoming an integral part of the film.

He is truly a remarkable composer and a humble human being. Working with him has been a creatively enriching experience.
