After all, Hollywood is always looking for change. Maybe Hey Ram will bring international exposure to IR, if screened in film festivals around the world. I would rate Hey Ram's BGM is much better. The theater has very bad sound system as Kiru said and I couldn't hear anything. Because the music is very subtle throughout the movie.
Folks just send few minutes and enjoy IR's western classic pieces.
Of course, the above site gives some excellent interludes from other movies too. No wonder both IR and Kamal has a great respect and a deep bond with Malayalam films and directors. Thats why IR actually wanted to start his School of Music there. This is the reason for the audience for many intellectual movies. My wife was the Dean of a Nursing College in Bangalore.
