Such a great interview. SaNa is easily one of the most talented yet underrated musicians in India at the moment. Hope he receives the credit he deserves soon.

I'm big fan of SANA but in kalki some 2 or 3 portions music is hit and miss..not precise to balance movie

[@Vijayrc171]

Nice

[@sivasagar1800]

Great movie and music

[@scrapanimation3813]

Compared to his other work, his work in kalki was really average. Hopefully the score improves for the next film

[@jaganat3333]

WEAKEST link in KALKI is easily the SONGS.......the BGM in 2nd half is good.....

[@KeerthiVasan]

Lol. The soundtrack is goated on so many levels!

[@TheNarenoffrings]

Great movie.. great bgm.. worst songs

[@kumarct6941]

Santhosh Narayan’s music is not up to the mark. Need to inspire by Rahaman, Keeravani and Anirudh.
If Music is all about BGM, then there are so many self proclaimed musicians from India looking for 1st opportunity. Spend some time in UA-cam or Instagram 😂
Nag Ashwin would have saved even more money from the allocated budget 😅
Remember that, Roja movie songs are still trendy and soothing for all types of audience and it was 1st or 2nd movie for Rahaman.

[@Bagswa]

Rahman keeravani ok..anirudh?? Seriously???

[@kumarct6941]

@@Bagswa far better than this Hollywood musician 🤣😆

[@Kishore386]

Please watch his work for karnan , dasara etc​@@kumarct6941

[@gopinathbalakrishnan7390]

Why bringing copyrudh here..in the recent Indian 2 calendar song he 100% copied the pop track released 11 years ago

[@arjun9685]

Sana has some raw touch which most of the above directors have not yet explored especially anirudh

[@nikkyujoshi]

@The Hindu, please don’t interview for interviews and views sake. You should have interviewed the best crew of this movie, the writers, directors and producers.
