Tamil composer Anirudh Ravichander is the ‘Numero Uno’ music director in the country right now. He is ruling the roost in all languages after delivering chartbuster songs and thumping background score for numerous films in different languages. Unfortunately, he failed to live up to the high expectations of moviegoers with his latest film Indian 2.
Music maestro AR Rahman played a significant role in making Indian ( Bharateeyudu) an iconic blockbuster with his classic songs and stupendous background score for crucial portions in the film. The Shankar – Rahman combination has a legion of fans even till today.
For one or the other reason, Shankar didn’t repeat Rahman for Indian 2, a sequel to the 1996 film. He roped in Anirudh and raised the eyebrows of everyone. However, many believed that Anirudh can match the calibre of Rahman and expected him to deliver his best work for Indian 2.
But, Anirudh’s composition came as a huge disappointment to everyone. Neither songs nor BGM rendered by Anirudh matched the hype on Indian 2. Critics pointed that Shankar did a mistake by not retaining Rahman for this film. Critics expressed that Anirudh is no match to Rahman’s brilliance in the first part.
Some people opine that there is no scope for Anirudh to save the film with his work because of the spiritless script and lackluster narration by Shankar.
