Actor Sivakarthikeyan has praised Anirudh Ravichander's music in Arun Matheswaran's Tamil film DC, calling him 'truly incomparable' in a social media post. DC, an adaptation of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's Devadas, stars Lokesh Kanagaraj, Wamiqa Gabbi and Sanjana AK, and released on August 7.
The film has become a box office success in the south, but m9.news reports that Anirudh is walking away with the majority of the appreciation, even exceeding that for director Arun Matheswaran's work. The outlet says the music has elevated the film's otherwise ordinary narrative.
DC noise on social media amplifies a familiar pattern: a hit film and suddenly one contributor, here, the music composer, is credited with single-handedly carrying the picture. That undervalues the director, actors and technicians. The real test will be whether audiences return for repeat watches purely for the soundtrack, or if the story holds its own without the background score propping it up.
