Indian 2: Anirudh’s Music gets a mixed response

The much-awaited sequel, Indian 2, starring Kamal Haasan and directed by Shankar, is all set for a spectacular theatrical release. Prior to the film’s premiere, the cast and crew unveiled the highly anticipated Indian 2 songs at a grand audio launch event in Chennai on Saturday. Anirudh Ravichander, who took over as the music director from AR Rahman, has composed six mesmerizing tracks for the movie. Currently, social media is abuzz with netizens sharing their reactions to the soundtrack of this Kamal Haasan and S Shankar film.

The second installment of the Indian soundtrack was unveiled during a lavish audio launch event attended by the cast, crew, and esteemed guests. Feedback from online users has been varied, with a significant portion of Tamil cinema fans expressing disappointment, particularly those who hold fond memories of the original 1996 release and its unforgettable music crafted by AR Rahman. Although tracks like Paara. Comeback Indian and Neelorpam have garnered praise for their quality, but the remaining songs have failed to leave a lasting impression. The moviegoers also expressed their disappointment with the decision of the creators to remove the original theme music from Indian 2. Despite Anirudh Ravichander’s musical expertise, netizens believe that his unique style does not match the theme and ambiance of Kamal Haasan’s popular film series well. Specifically, social media users are currently busy criticizing the fast-paced song ‘Kadharalz’ for its strange lyrics. However, the loyal fans of the young music composer are highly impressed with the melodies and believe that they have brought a fresh perspective to the franchise.

The much-awaited audio launch event of Indian 2 was attended by Kamal Haasan, Shankar, Anirudh Ravichander, and other team members. Regrettably, Siddharth, who plays a significant role in the film, was absent as he is on a holiday with Aditi Rao Hydari in Tuscany, Italy. Several popular celebrities from the Tamil film industry, including Nelson Dilipkumar and Lokesh Kanagaraj, graced the occasion held at the Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai
