Mumbai, 14th August 2023: The anticipation surrounding Kangana Ranaut’s return to the big screen in the upcoming film “Chandramukhi 2” has taken a new turn as the initial song from the film, titled “Swagathaanjali,” has been unveiled. Composed by MM Keeravaani, the song showcases Kangana Ranaut in an elegant white saree adorned with delicate pink accents, complemented by lavish gold jewelry. While the song has captured significant attention, the actress has found herself under scrutiny for her rendition of the Bharatnatyam dance showcased within the song.
The online discourse has been varied, with numerous users expressing their reservations about Kangana’s dance performance. Some critics argued that her portrayal doesn’t align with the essence of the dance form and remarked that she appears more like a typical Bollywood heroine rather than embodying the classical nuances of Bharatnatyam. One user stated, “Kangana Ranaut is undoubtedly a talented actor, but her dance skills seem to be lacking. Her performance in the snippet from Chandramukhi 2 is quite disappointing, especially for someone with nearly 17 years of classical dance training.”
However, amidst the critiques, Kangana’s passionate admirers emerged to defend her artistry. Some supporters praised her performance and compared her to iconic actors of the past, stating that she deserves to be regarded as the reigning queen of Hindi cinema. A supporter wrote, “Kangana Ranaut’s performance was exceptional. She effortlessly embodies each character she portrays, surpassing even the legendary actors of the industry.”
Directed by P Vasu, “Chandramukhi 2” is a captivating blend of horror and comedy, scheduled for release in September. This sequel to the highly successful Tamil blockbuster features Kangana as a dancer in a royal court. The film is a collaboration between Lyca Productions and Subaskaran. Alongside Kangana, the movie showcases the talents of Srushti Dange, Lakshmi Manon, Radhika Sarathkumar, Mahima Nambiar, Rao Ramesh, and Vignesh in crucial roles. “Chandramukhi 2” is set to grace the silver screen on September 19th, promising a unique cinematic experience that combines the elegance of classical dance with the intrigue of the horror-comedy genre. As opinions continue to vary, the spotlight remains on Kangana Ranaut’s portrayal and how it will ultimately be received by audiences.
