Without even knowing the meaning of these amazing lyrics (that literally gives you chills if you are a Tamizhan), both of you got the meaning, purpose and the emotions behind this epic song.. that is the genius of AR Rahman and Mani Ratnam.. what an amazing composition!!

That Last Lyrics.... En Thamizh Vaazhga Vaazhga Veera Chozham Vaazhga Vaazhga Natramizh Vaazhga Vaazhga Nallor Dhesam Vaazhga Vaazhga I Love this One...!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🐅🐅🐅🐅🐅

This is the greatest Tamil song of all time. Especially the lyrics. I never heard anything so beautiful like this. This song's ending is literally gave me goosebumps and emotional high. Lyrics, music and voice everything is gorgeously beautiful.

Just one word "The Royalty is Dripping" in this composition 🔥🔥🔥🔥. I felt the same way just as Rick and korbin reacted.

I felt that veera raja veera music quality is 1000 times better than nattu nattu song

That Guitar solo u thought; it was actually a Veena😂 U should look into it. Hell of an Indian instrument❤

In an age of music directors trying to compose songs for Tik tok and insta reels, ppl like Rahman try to stay original and continue experimenting with their music

எம் தமிழ் வாழ்க வாழ்க வீர சோழம் வாழ்க நற்றமிழ் வாழ்க வாழ்க நல்லோர் தேசம் வாழ்க❤️❤️❤️

Some say ARR is past his prime. Silly kids.

The energy and majesty to this song comes from the Dhrupad composition it's based on. The original one is dedicated to Lord Shiva. Only A R Rehman could have adapted this so beautifully 🙌🙌 And the musicians have performed it to perfection ❤️ And not to miss the wonderful lyrics 🙏 .... Overall a Masterpiece !

Dude I'm a malayali yet i got goosebumps hearing the last lines

Ar rahman compositions age like fine high standard wine.....when you hear it for 1st time it will pierce it to your heart....after decades it will touch your soul and will take you to heaven when you here it......

First i was so frustrated that there are no subtitles for them to react...but it's a different kind of joy if they understand the valour and royalty in the song without even subtitles 🔥🔥🔥🔥

The grandeur in this composition is just wonderful...all thanks to our Rahman sir

must have heard this 100 times. Gives me goosebumps. Amazing Tamil words.❤.

Only only only Rahman can compose like this in today's time

Tamil is a beautiful langauage and this song proves it. Its not easy to bring back chola dynasty into life and sure theae are the music and song would have play in chola dancing court. And now it is been show to ask by ar rahman music mani ratham direction plus lyca owner susbash karan i thank u guys for making tamil prouds all the credit goes to u guys.

ARR doesn't stop researching and creating a new pattern of music. It's risky, but he always nailed it. I wonder how tension would the post composition be....

Rick is right. The 5/8 beat is called Kanda nadai in Indian classical music! Love ur musical knowledge and appreciation! Lots of love!

They removed last 20 sec of the song in all other versions. it's only present in og tamil version . which would create unwanted problem. And there is one so called pan India movie releasing lyrical video in some other language not even English. ( return of Hanuman) it's the last 20 sec removed from other version. Em Thamizh Vaazhga Vaazhga Veera Cholam Vaazhga Natramizh Vaazhga Vaazhga Nallor Dhesam Vaazhga Long live My Tamil ! Long live Brave cholas! Long live good Tamizh! Long live the nation of good people! NOTE some are commenting he copied from gundecha brothers but He gave credits in the lyrics video and description . it's only based , not a ditto copy, the raaga is same that's it. he is ARrahman. " composition based on traditional Dragavani tradition Dhrupad" ITS IN THE LYRIC VIDEO. both are totally different .

Oscar is not enough for this composition. It touches the soul. That Veena or guitar sound very amazing. And final part about Tamil Language Praising is ultimate.

Our Tamil language is so beautiful.

எதிரிகள் உதிரம் சேர்ந்து குதிகடல் வண்ணம் மாறும் உதிர்ந்திடும் பகைவர் தேகம் கடலுக்கு அன்னமாகும் This line is enough to describe the valor of Cholas. All the blood of enemies collect together to change the color of the ocean. Falling dead bodies of enemies becomes food for the ocean. Cholas are known for navy expedition.

Sir, this is called carnatic music.... One of our traditional divine music.

Dhrupad is a genre of vocal music. It is very energetic and usually sung by male singers. It connects with the Divine . That is why this song accelerated your pulse Mr.Rick. There are some very famous Dhrupad singers. Even the beat is unique.

Always ancient Tamil language sounds gorgeous.... Without knowing meaning of lyrics..

This songs deserves an Oscar ! Peak Classical compositions

NANBAR doing his usual magic :) Waiting to feel the magic in Big Screens

Listening this song can't be expressed through words It's was just mindblowing

What a classic composition ARR🎉🎉🎉very soothing❤❤

Kandam- 5 beats in high speed- its takadimi (4) takita (3) takita (3)… veera+pause; raja+pause; veera+pause Kandam is most suitable for procession. Correct me if I am wrong… Same lines are interpreted using different ragams also I think. Last 4 lines- salute!!!🫡🙇🏽‍♀️🙏🏾🌺 The lines move from regional and individual glories to global wishes and universal blessings.

As usual... Its slow poison... The more you hear.. the more you love.... 😍

Terrific explanation of music to the audience after the reaction. Incredibly knowledgeable and sharing of knowledge Rick🙏🏼❤

Compared to naatu naatu this song has variability, versatile composition ..hope this gets international recognition

I was wondering when you would react to this...also i guessed rick would go silent given i ve seen how appreciative he is always towards good music...i predicted well he would go silent when hearing the last part ..

3:45 how beautifully you catched the tempo of this song. In hindusthani classical music it's called " Sur - Faak"Taal contains 10 beats, every two beat couples to make group of 5 segments.

The magic of ‘Dhrupad’ Gayan , Raagasangeet did half of the magic and on that the potent lyrics ♥️ long live our Shashtriya Sangeet 🙏🏽

Yes the tamil lyrics from heaven and the entire composition was absolutely divine to ears❤❤u should learn those words will be more meaningful to listen to this epic masterpiece

The meanings of the lyrics just flows like honey on to the ears 😍😍

This song about paise of great king of Chola dinesty (TAMIL KING)...who conquered 7 countries ( srilanka...Singapore...malasiya...burma...putan...compodiya.. newzealand...some part of south Africa....abound 1300 years ago...

Shankar Mahadevan has god-like voice.

That's the magic of maniratnam's vision when combined with rahman's music ✌🤘😇 it's always lit 😊🎉

This deserves oscar❤

That's not guitar, it's veena. It's an Indian instrument. Also, the talam Or the beat is misra chapu (7 beats)..

Oscar jury doesn't know how to select best music sometimes. Probably they aren't felt best which always comes from AR RAHMAN. They should come out of the box and give Oscars for best compositions like this than some random track which got popular with hight paid publicity.

ARR’s “past prime” is the highest of highs for most composers.

@Rick: I bow my head towards your observatory skill !! Although you are musically sound enough, you have just exactly received this master piece from @ARR, that too while hearing it for the very first time. Your detailed explanation was so natural and shows how deeply you understand @ARR and Indian music. WOWww! Always a great fan of your utter dedication and commitment 💛 @Korbin : Its not that i did not notice you😛. You were so into the strings of veena 💛💛 Love your works both of you 💛💛

Guys great news.... PS 2 is gonna be playing in Denver at Denver Pavillion's Stadium in 4k ... You got lucky it is one of the only 22 theaters in US where it is playing in 4k..you not gonna miss it🎉🎉

That's A.R. Rahman sir. He can do it that's all. India is proud to have him.

எம் தமிழ் வாழ்க 🔥 (long live our Tamizh 🙏)

4:13 Wow though Chitra mam is a legend , harini's voice has a magic and brings different flavour in that above time stamp

My sister lives in Denver, they watched PS1 so quite sure PS2 would be released as well, now that the overseas release is directly by Lyca productions I hope they will release it in more screens.

Dhrupad is like a genre of classical music. So this song is based on that genre

How did you guys miss pathu thala movie album by AR Rahman

Raja raja cholan is praised by wishing 'long live' and is invited to rule. ARR now composed as per the situation in old style using the voices of Sankar Mahadevan, Chitra and Harini. The old film Raja Raja Cholan (1973) also had the same. The song, Thanjai periya koyil' sung by TR Mahalingam, Seerkazhi Govindarajan and S Varalaxmi gave a warm welcome to the chola King (Shivaji Ganesan) in Kunnakudi Vaithiyanathan musical.

Actually waiting for your reaction 🌟. This song is so soooooo spcl.

The beat is called 7beats in carnatic music That is Tak Tak taka taka Tak Tak taka taka

Rick, you were talking about (O fortuna carmina burana) also popularized as the Oldspice Theme song. It is one of the most epic music compositions of all time that requires a full on choir.

A R REHMAN Son of Musical God in heaven

The movie is getting screened at Century Aurora in Denver!!!

Shankar Mahadevan Sir KS chitra ma'am, A R Rahman sir, Harini ma'am

Pure music lovers will cherish ever. This song

No words to say about this song , just Goosebumps😬

What a great rhythm! The beat is split into 4,3,3.

Guys it's a Veena solo in between not a guitar one. And there is a constant Bass by Mohini Dey too. And a prominent Tabla too🥰

Magic of music ❤❤

the part where korbin thinks its a guitar solo, and vibes to is...was actually an instrument that was either the "sittar"........or a "vinai".....you could call them the indian guitar

Your reviews are so relatable with mine! Qualitative analysis or review makes you my fav review/reaction channel

You are right. Goosebumps everytime I hear.. and you were able to feel without the understanding the language..

They say he lost his touch 😂😂😂...bro you have to grow up Arr is way ahead of time..after 5 yrs when you randomly listen to a small beat of that song and then that song will rule your playlist forever ❤..Arr magic

Kadaisi rendu nimisham reaction Vera level...😂😂

actually the solo around 4:50 is not from a guitar. Its a 2,200 years old classical indian instrument called Veena.

It needs a oscar

This is our golden dynasty of great chola kingdom 😍🙏😍🙏

This song made me feel like i was fighting for raja raja chola. The lyrics are deep

This is the type of traditional Indian music I hope would get better recognition in Oscars, but they always choose dance numbers.

Sir in the middle the music is not a guitar. It's 'Veena' indian instrument

I've been waiting for this reaction for a week now.. I checked RU-vid everyday just to share my obsession of this masterpiece with someone

I had a nice time watching this reaction :)

It wasn't a guitar 😂 It's an instrument called Veena

3:42 It is 4+3+3. 10 beats per bar. Count it as 1234, 123, 123. Thakadimi thakita thakita. 10:40 Your count of 5 is right but you double it and count twice as fast and split it into 4/3/3.

Ar rahman nail it well again showing to world that he is a really oscar winner. And he deserve many more titles along in his career who knows this movie could win oscar too good.

Music of Ancient Thamizh apprx. 3000years ago.

AR Rahman 🔥💯

ARR can only magical music

What an arrangements of sounds…it’s mesmerizing

Already its my alarm song😍❤️..

They wearing original jewels..which gold,Ruby

These two naughty kids became silent at some point listened to song. Usually don't happen 😂

As per the Wikipedia, “Dhrupad is a genre in Hindustani classical music. It is the oldest known style of major vocal styles associated with Hindustani classical music, Haveli Sangeet (music) of Pushtimarg Sampradaya and also related to the South Indian Carnatic tradition” By the way, my family follows the Pushtimarg Sampradaya, a sub-tradition in Vaishnavnism, one of the major denominations in Hinduism. Pushtimarg Sampradaya is focused on Krishna devotional school. Whenever there is a religious event in my family, people sing songs based on Dhrupad genre.

Cmon ,we already know hes the *GOAT* hes just showing off

I don't think this is emphasized enough, but your sense of humor is 🔥- it's exactly the kind of stuff I say and laugh about. When Korbin said "fuck Bryan" at the beginning of the video, I lost it 😂

The Tune and inspiration came from an ancient Hindu sacred holy song. You can hear this tune for the original hymn played in Temples or in Brahmin people's households If I'm Not Mistaken. I have heard this tune before, it was played in a temple. But they just kind of changed the words to reflect on Arulmozhi Varman aka Ponniyin Selvan aka Raja Raja Chola's anointment as King.

I cant wait to see you guys reacting to minnanchula vennela(reprise) from ps2.

I don't understand why some one give national award for music like pushpa rather giving these kind of beautiful compositions.

Great sozhass we are also part of that empire from kerala kollam district old venad empire

This song also has a Hindi version. It is sung by different artists, one of which is Shreya Ghoshal.

Thanks for stating that it's " Based on dargavani Dhrupad tradition" which is present in the lyrical video and description as well. many creating unwanted problem on twitter without knowing this!

"O Fortuna" which is part of the collection known as the Carmina Burana - set to music by Carl Off....Most Indians know that song through an OLD SPICE ad from the mid 1980s :)
