Some Kollywood audiences, after listening to the Thug Life songs, have commented that it is one of the best albums in recent times, praising the A.R. Rahman and Mani Ratnam combination for delivering a “musical fest” kind of an album.

Music lovers and A.R. Rahman fans, in particular, are celebrating it as the best Kollywood album of the decade.

However, some people who prefer loud, mass, or Western sounds, similar to Anirudh’s compositions, are commenting that Thug Life’s album is poor and that some A.R. Rahman fans are overhyping it.

The Thug Life album has nine songs. A.R. Rahman recently faced significant backlash for his background scores in the Bollywood movie Chaava, and the success of the Thug Life album is crucial for him.

So far, the Thug Life album has received mixed responses. If the movie resonates with the audience, the songs will likely gain a wider reach.

Nevertheless, before the Thug Life album’s release, some netizens had commented that A.R. Rahman was no longer in his prime.

However, the Thug Life album seems to have proved them wrong, demonstrating that A.R. Rahman is still in form and unique in his own way.
