Kanguva’s Music Backlash Raises Questions for Pushpa 2: Can Allu Arjun Save It?

The much-anticipated film Kanguva, starring Bobby Deol and Suriya, has received significant criticism for its loud background music (BGM). Fans have taken to social media to express their disappointment, claiming that the overpowering music ruined their movie-watching experience. Some even complained of headaches caused by the film's excessive sound levels. Combined with a lackluster storyline, the loud music has added to the negative reception of the film.
Devi Sri Prasad Faces Criticism for Kanguva’s Music
The music for Kanguva was composed by Devi Sri Prasad (DSP), a well-known name in the Indian music industry. However, DSP has come under fire for his work on this project. Many viewers feel the loud and unbalanced soundtrack further dampened an already underwhelming film.
The backlash has also made fans of Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2 uneasy, as DSP is also responsible for its soundtrack. Concerns are rising about whether similar issues might affect the much-awaited sequel to Pushpa: The Rise.
Recent reports suggest that director Sukumar, who is helming Pushpa 2, is dissatisfied with DSP's work. Allegedly, this dissatisfaction is why DSP was not assigned to compose the item song for the film. Instead, Thaman S, another prominent composer, was brought on board to handle the song. Additionally, there are rumors that Thaman may also be working on Pushpa 2’s BGM, potentially sharing the responsibility with other music directors.

Thaman recently stated in an interview, “I am not the sole music director for Pushpa 2. Many other composers are involved in this project.” This indicates that the film’s producers are taking extra care to ensure the soundtrack meets fan expectations.
International Talent Brought in to Improve Pushpa 2’s Music
Reports also reveal that musicians from Budapest have been brought in to enhance specific parts of Pushpa 2’s music. These professionals are reportedly working on creating new tunes for key scenes to elevate the film's overall appeal. Fans hope these efforts will prevent the soundtrack from facing the same criticism that Kanguva did.
With multiple changes and collaborations in the music department, the question remains: Will Pushpa 2 deliver a memorable soundtrack, or will the adjustments dilute its impact? Fans eagerly await the release of the film to see if the combined efforts of DSP, Thaman, and international musicians will result in a cohesive and engaging score.
as a reminder of the importance of balanced sound design in filmmaking. As Pushpa 2 gears up for its release, fans hope that the makers have taken note of these concerns and will ensure the sequel lives up to its predecessor’s legacy. The stakes are high, but with careful execution, Pushpa 2 has the potential to become a blockbuster hit with a soundtrack that resonates with audiences.
