You have good points! Raavan may lack some mass/universal appeal that previous ARR albums had. I felt Guru had a lot of mass appeal and the CD sold pretty well. Raavan audio will be a commercial hit only if the songs on screen are received well and picturized well. However, most music afficionados will love it!
