Many also expressed their thoughts on social media highlighting the songs of these days lacks the ability to withstand in time. A comment reads, “That’s great advice from the legend. The term longevity is key here. These days, songs just come and go no one bothers about tunes. Just putting a ‘hook’ word in songs n making it viral. In quest of views and promotion of the movie in quick time they are taking out soul of music.”

Another thoughtful comment also reads, “ARR is perfectly correct. Anirudh’s music is chartbusters, no doubt. But they are all like 24×7 biryani shops. MSV, KVM, Raja, ARR stand tall as they created some great classical compositions. Remember – None remembers Aaluma Doluma or Beast songs today.”

The romantic comedy that explores modern relationships and the institution of marriage also features Yogi Babu, Lal, Vijay Rao, Lakshmy Ramakrishnan, Mano, TJ Bhanu, John Kokken and Vinothini in supporting roles.
