Raajali (Lyric Video) – 2.0 [Tamil]
Raajali is an anthem-like number that celebrates the triumph of good over evil, a typical sentiment in Rajinikanth movies.

‘2.0’ music review: AR Rahman gives the villain the better song

The makers of the Rajinikanth-Akshay Kumar-starrer 2.0 have released only three songs from the soundtrack. The mega-budget juggernaut is reportedly director Shankar’s shortest film to date, and the superhero and the supervillain don’t seem to have time for much song and dance. In 2.0, Rajinikanth reprises his dual roles from Enthiran (2010) as the scientist […]
