Quotes
An unnamed critic
A social media user criticizing the song’s Malayalam pronunciation.
“Dear Tamils, please don't include Malayalam in your songs or dialogues unless it's pronounced correctly. Mispronouncing words, especially the 'la' sounds, can be really irritating to Malayalis and may feel disrespectful to our language. This is NOT Malayalam.”
