4 Nov
Summary
- Gangai Amaran questions Anirudh's music's lasting appeal.
- Critic claims Anirudh's songs lack Tamil identity and language.
- Anirudh is currently one of the busiest composers in films.
Veteran filmmaker Gangai Amaran has openly questioned the lasting impact and cultural relevance of contemporary Tamil film music, singling out popular composer Anirudh Ravichander. Amaran expressed doubt about whether current hits possess the enduring quality of past musical masterpieces, posing a challenge to name any of Anirudh's songs that will remain popular for years to come.
Furthermore, Amaran suggested that Anirudh's music, while innovative, neglects the Tamil language and its identity. He argued that composers should prioritize linguistic roots, questioning the use of Tamil in songs when the language itself seems undervalued. This critique adds fuel to ongoing discussions about lyrical content and language preservation in modern Tamil cinema.
Despite the criticism, Anirudh Ravichander continues to be a highly in-demand music director. He has several high-profile projects lined up, including films featuring Tamil cinema icons Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan. His busy schedule and massive fan following underscore his significant influence in the industry.
