2.0 Songs - Music Review

Ramesh Kannan

2.0 is one of the much-expected sequels from Shankar with Rajinikanth, Akshay Kumar and Amy Jackson playing the lead roles. The anticipation for the music and the movie skyrocketed mainly because of the dream combo Shankar -Rajinikanth- AR Rahman. Let's check out if Rahman has delivered another different sound for this sequel album. 

Endhira Logathu Sundariye  ✔:

Endhira Logathu Sundariye, as expected highly techno sounds laden track and Rahman's mixing make this one immensely enjoyable as well as the hummable track. MadhanKarky deserves special mention for his imaginative lyrics like Java Roja and invoking every robot parts in the verses. Sid Sriram nails the rendition as usual while Sashaa Tripathi mesmerizes the listener with her whispery brief sound cues.

Rajaali Nee Gaali  ✔

Rajaali Nee Gaali is the techno mass and majestic track for Rajini and Rahman once again ensured that the sounds are groovy enough to clasp the listener's attention. Composer's consistent engaging rhythm structure and the mastery in sound mixing is evident throughout the track. However, the lyrics are discordant especially with respect to all the grandeur in the sound production. Blaaze, Arjun Chandy and Sid Sriram deliver exceptionally well.

Verdict:

Though the album is surprisingly short, Rahman's unique sound mixing and MadhanKarky's imaginative lyrics are sure enough to satiate the fans.

Rating: 3.5/5
