Thug Life: Netizens disappointed over major song missing, say ‘for all the hype and divide Muththa Mazhai created, it’s nowhere heard’

There was much excitement when the album of Thug Life was released. Muththa Mazhai crooned by Dhee, which was subsequently performed by Chinmayi on the stage, was one of the instant hits and most expected song from the album to be seen. However, fans were in for a disappointment when the Kamal Haasan-Mani Ratnam film chose to do away with Muththa Mazhai.

Thug Life: Fans disappointed over Muththa Mazhai missing from the film

The much-anticipated Thug Life has finally hit theatres. The film, which is directed by Mani Ratnam, is headlined by actor Kamal Haasan, who has written the film along with the Roja filmmaker. Fans were excited for the reunion of the duo, 38 years after the release of Nayakan. However, Thug Life did not resonate much with the audience, and had received middling reviews.

Amid this, the absence of Muththa Mazhai song has further caused dejection among fans. Muththa Mazhai is part of the Thug Life album scored by AR Rahman. Dhee had sung the song in Tamil and Chinmayi had performed during the audio launch event. Fans were going gaga over Muththa Mazhai and had anticipated to look forward for the visuals. However, the song is missing from Thug Life. Here are some of the reactions from fans:
