Anirudh Ravichander Faces Backlash for “Bharateeyudu 2” Score, Contrasted with S.S. Thaman’s Success
Music composer Anirudh Ravichander has recently come under heavy criticism from Telugu music enthusiasts for his background score in the film “Bharateeyudu 2,” with many expressing disappointment over its perceived lack of energy and impact for a film of its scale and genre.
The backlash on social media has starkly highlighted the contrasting fortunes of Anirudh and his contemporary, S.S. Thaman. Thaman, known for his ability to elevate films with his exceptional background scores, has consistently delivered impressive work across various genres, making him a preferred choice among Telugu filmmakers. His recent successes in films like “Akhanda,” “Bhagavanth Kesari,” and “Guntur Kaaram” have further solidified his reputation as a composer who can transform ordinary scenes into extraordinary cinematic moments.
In contrast, Anirudh, known for his chart-topping songs, has faced challenges in meeting the expectations for background scores in Telugu cinema, especially when the film’s content doesn’t align with his creative direction. This disparity has previously led many filmmakers to opt for Thaman over Anirudh.
Despite Anirudh’s widespread appeal for his musical prowess, “Bharateeyudu 2” appears to have missed the mark, eliciting disappointment among fans and critics alike. The situation underscores the critical role of background scores in shaping the emotional narrative of films, where Thaman’s ability to resonate deeply with audiences continues to set him apart.
As the debate on musical preferences continues, Anirudh Ravichander faces a pivotal moment in navigating the expectations of Telugu cinema aficionados while S.S. Thaman’s popularity among fans remains at an all-time high.
