There is no doubt Rahman is a great singer and music director. But the songs in Pinniyin Selvan are not worth it. Rahman would have sung them correctly if he could understand the meaning of the lyrics.
He just went with the flow of the music and they are dull and drab in Telugu. Director Mani should have taken more care while doing the Telugu songs.
He has done the right thing by taking Tanikella Bharani for writing the Telugu version. In the same fashion, he should have taken Telugu singers and good lyric writers for the Telugu version.
The movie is getting mixed reactions in General and one cannot say that it is a flop. It looked as if he has done it taking Baahubali as the inspiration.
They say it is nowhere when compared to Baahubali and RRR. But the movie is rich with grandeur. In Tamil and also in the US the movie is doing well it is reported.
The second part is also ready and it will be released in the coming days. Ratnam must make fresh singing by the Telugu people for the second part of the movie.
Like dialogues, people must understand the lyrics also.
