Karathey Babu - Raasaadhi Raasaa | Ravi Mohan | Sam CS | REACTION!!
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
The video begins with a discussion regarding the modern movie-going experience and the excessive length of pre-show content. The speakers note that audiences now arrive twenty to twenty-five minutes late because trailers and advertisements have become so long, often including micro-dramas or vertical videos. While some theaters like Cinemark in North Hollywood limit this time to fifteen minutes, most venues still fill a significant portion of the wait with commercials rather than just previews. Consequently, many viewers prefer watching these clips on streaming platforms like Rotten Tomatoes at home and arriving right before the film actually starts to avoid sitting through what they consider unnecessary garbage.
The conversation then shifts focus to the main subject: a lyric video for the song "Raasaadhi Raasaa" from the upcoming movie *Karathey Babu*. The track features vocals by Ravi Mohan, Sam C.S., and Ganesh K. Babu, with Budweiser appearing in the promotional material. One of the speakers identifies his father as being featured in the video, adding a personal touch to their reaction. They express strong appreciation for the song itself, particularly praising its unique rhythmic structure which is described as rhythmically off-beat and complex. The speaker specifically highlights that the track utilizes an unusual time signature, likely 5/4 or something even more intricate than standard Western rhythms, giving it a distinct energy and liveliness often found in Eastern music but less common in American productions.
Throughout their reaction to the audio, the speakers also comment on the visual elements of the lyric video, speculating that it serves as a promotional tool for *Karathey Babu*, which is scheduled for release in 2026. They identify various actors and characters within the visuals, including references to Dada Corbin and Donny O'Donovan, noting how these figures appear early on in the clip. The dialogue includes some humorous banter about identifying specific people mentioned or seen in the video, such as a brief confusion over names before settling on accurate identifications. Overall, the group enjoys both the musical composition with its unconventional beats and the visual presentation of the film's promotional content.
In conclusion, the reaction is overwhelmingly positive regarding the song's quality and the production values associated with it. The speakers agree that songs with complex, non-standard time signatures provide a refreshing listening experience compared to typical Western pop structures. They also touch upon other musical influences like the band Rush, drawing parallels between their jazz-fusion style and the rhythmic complexity found in Indian cinema music. As they wrap up the segment, they encourage viewers to share their own thoughts on the song below, maintaining an engaging tone that blends critique of current theater habits with genuine enthusiasm for the new film's soundtrack.

Just what we needed. What?
Already you add 20-25 minutes to the
start time of a movie because of what
they've done with trailers and
advertisements, right?
>> Sure.
>> They're adding micro dramas.
>> Like verticals?
>> Yep.
They're adding that. So
enjoy that because I won't be watching
them. I go to a movie 20 minutes after
the start time. So I don't have to sit
through all of that garbage. I can see
my trailers on Rotten Tomatoes. I'd
rather see the trailers. I'd like That's
what I liked about ArcLight. You got
three trailers.
The Cinemark in North Hollywood
does only 15 minutes of trailers and
ads, which is very, very nice, but
most theaters do 20 to 25 minutes of
sh- well, before and a lot of half of
that time is just spent with ads.
So if a movie starts at 4:00, I show up
at
4:00 to get concessions.
And then get in the seat by 4:15, 4:20.
>> 4:20, blaze it.

>> That was a cool song. Very cool.
Really like that song.
I love songs that are rhythmically
off like that one was in 5/4. Ones that
are in 7/8.
Those are very, very cool. They feel
like they're on They feel like four
but they're not and they're definitely
not three or six. There's this feeling
that it's just it gives this energy to
it and this
liveliness to it. That was very cool.
>> You said we hear 5/4 more in Indian
movies than we do in
American
>> Oh, way more. Way more. Uh way more. And
even more complex ones that maybe it
isn't 5/4. It could be something way
more complex than 5/4 but I'm pretty
sure that was 5/4.
Uh one of the best bands ever to do
stuff
in
cool different jazz
is Rush. Have you seen the highlights of
their new She is a badass.
>> She's awesome.

Uh Yes and Rush are two of the bands
from the past that were like
Chicago did it, too.
But they especially did it. And yeah,

to Eastern music, too. I just think
those rhythms are used more in Eastern
music than in Western music. J, he's
