Why Are Some Viewers Criticising AR Rahman’s Music?
The Ravana Tandav song has been composed by AR Rahman, with vocals by Vishal Dadlani and lyrics by Kumar Vishwas.
Despite the excitement surrounding the release, some listeners have expressed disappointment with the song’s musical presentation. A social media user criticised its interpretation of the Shiva Tandav Stotram, arguing that the spiritual depth and devotional significance of the composition should have received greater emphasis.

One of the biggest talking points surrounding the Ravana Tandav song is its comparison with Adipurush, the mythological film starring Prabhas.

The comparison has triggered a wider discussion about the musical direction of mythological films and the expectations audiences have from stories rooted in Indian tradition.
Nevertheless, reactions to music remain subjective, and the overall soundtrack of Ramayana will provide a broader picture of the film’s musical approach.

Yash’s casting as Ravana has already generated considerable interest among fans. His performance in the Tandav sequence has further fuelled discussions about how the film will portray the legendary character.
For many viewers, the combination of Yash’s appearance, expressions and screen presence remains a key attraction of the newly released song.

response, with some viewers praising Yash’s performance while others question the musical treatment and compare it with Adipurush.
