The 2024 film Saindhav is an example of how forced the plot twists in some movies have to be to keep the viewers interested. Such films have a target audience that likes to just sit back and be bombarded with mindless action and a little bit of sentimental drama, usually revolving around a father and his child. There is nothing inherently bad about this kind of chaotic storytelling, but it is just not my cup of tea. The story revolves around a man named Saindhav, who has to return to his roots of crime and violence so that his daughter can survive. Saindhav, written and directed by Sailesh Kolanu, is made to provide fast-paced but simplistic action with no real depth at all, which is something that has taken over cinema screens in recent times.

To kick start the album we have ‘Ranga Ranga,’ sung by the legendary S.P. Balasubrahmanyam and Jaspreet Jasz. The song is upbeat throughout and has a blend of instruments such as the trumpet, drums and the guitar; with a chorus to accompany the composition also. This one is not a bad attempt by Rahman, but I think for me personally it just does not have any catch to it. It was...
