Vijay’s upcoming movie, “The GOAT,” released its third song, “Spark,” featuring Vijay and Meenakshi Chaudhary. Unfortunately, the music by Yuvan Shankar Raja has not met expectations, adding to the disappointment from the first two songs. Fans are expressing their displeasure describing the music as lackluster and calling it one of the worst albums in Vijay’s career.
Adding to the criticism is Vijay’s appearance in the “Spark” song. The film employs advanced de-aging technology for one of Vijay’s characters, but the results have been unsatisfactory. Viewers feel the technology has made Vijay look unrealistic and even comical. This misuse of de-aging techniques has been compared to similar issues in Chiranjeevi’s film “Acharya,” where the younger version of the character was poorly received. Fans argue that traditional makeup would have been a better choice.
Hardcore fans are particularly vocal, wishing the “Spark” song could be removed from the film. They believe such songs disrupt the narrative flow and attract unnecessary negative attention. The situation is dire when even loyal supporters are unhappy with both the music and the visual presentation.
The last film where Vijay’s music and appearance were widely praised was “Master” by Lokesh Kanagaraj. Sadly, “The GOAT” is not living up to the high expectations set by his previous works. The film is scheduled to release on September 5 and fans are hoping for better elements in the final product.
