Maari 2 Song Lacks Maari Impact!

Maari has been a musical hit in Telugu and Tamil, as well. It wasn't a blockbuster hit but it did give Dhanush a character and a franchise to re-visit.

Anirudh Ravichander's music for the first film made it an instant popular audio and three songs - Don-u Don-u, Maari and another duet - became instant classics and went viral too.

There are many who still listen to these songs on daily basis and there are such massive hits. Somehow, Dhanush felt the need to go with Yuvan Shankar Raja for the second outing as Maari.

Sai Pallavi is acting as a auto driver and the lead heroine of the film. She calls Dhanush, Rowdy Baby in the film.

So, a song with english and Tamil lyrics written by Dhanush and sung by him, Rowdy Baby is released as first single.

The song is catchy but the instant connect that Anirudh could bring is missing. Definitely Yuvan is more experienced and skilled but the composition lacks his usual rich imagination too.

In any case, this is just the beginning and we have to wait how the most popular Maari signature song has been tweaked or re-created.
