‘Mangal Rang’ Song Receives Backlash

Mangal Rang shows the sequence of Lord Ram and Sita’s wedding ceremony. Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal have lent their voices to this melodious song, and the visuals are amazing too. The lyrics by Kumar Vishwas are beautiful and thoughtful. However, many people online have criticised the song’s Qawwali-like tune. They questioned the use of “Qawwali” in Ramayana and expressed shock! Some opined that the tune doesn’t match the visuals and feel of the song.

However, a large section of the audience praised the beauty of the song and called it ‘feel-good’. They also appreciated Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi’s acting in this, and of course hailed AR Rahman’s composition.
