Kamal Haasan, a legendary actor in indian cinema, is set to make a significant impact with a series of upcoming films. One of the highly anticipated releases is "Indian 2" (also known as "Bharatiyadudu 2"), a sequel to the original film "Indian" which was released 28 years ago. Directed by kollywood star director Shankar, the shooting for "Indian 2" commenced some time ago and was recently completed. The film is scheduled to hit theaters on june 12.

The makers of "Indian 2" recently unveiled the movie's music album, which features songs by Anirudh Ravichander, a renowned kollywood music director. This album, featuring artists Siddharth, rakul preet singh, and Kajal Aggarwal, had a grand audio launch event in chennai a few days ago. However, the reception to the music has been mixed. While AR rahman delivered super hit songs for the original "Indian" movie, Anirudh's compositions for the sequel have not met all expectations. Some songs like "Para" and "Nilorpham" have been appreciated, but overall, many fans feel that the album does not live up to the iconic status of Rahman's work.

Despite this, "Indian 2" songs have garnered significant streams, surpassing 9 lakh streams on Spotify and achieving the highest number of streams for a movie in 2024. Additionally, the album secured the number one position on iTunes in India, and the tamil Juke Box has been well-received by the audience.

In the broader context, the film community is curious to see if the movie itself will be a hit, regardless of the music's reception. The excitement around "Indian 2" remains high, as Shankar's collaboration with kamal haasan and the expectations set by their previous work are substantial. With the movie's release just around the corner, fans are eagerly waiting to see if "Indian 2" will replicate the success and magic of its predecessor.
