The first blockbuster of Bollywood this year, Chhaava, starring Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna, has won the hearts of audiences and is swiftly crossing the Rs. 100 crore mark at the global box office. The historical action drama has garnered widespread acclaim for its engaging narrative and performances.
However, social media, as always, has its own mixed opinions, even about something as highly praised as Chhaava. While it is well-known that the Oscar-winning composer A.R. Rahman provided the background score and songs for the film, some netizens have expressed dissatisfaction with his work. They have taken to social platforms, criticizing his compositions for not fitting the historical tone of the movie.
On the other hand, there are fans who argue that the makers should have considered Ajay-Atul for the soundtrack, believing that their music could have better captured the essence of the history the film portrays. Conversely, A.R. Rahman’s devoted fans have defended his work, praising his contribution as one of the key elements that elevated the film, particularly in the climactic scenes.
A.R. Rahman, as always, has remained silent amidst the debate, choosing not to comment. Meanwhile, the producers at Maddock Films are celebrating the film’s tremendous success as Chhaava continues to make waves at the box office.
