One user has written, music has no language, no barrier. It simply enters through your ears and touches your soul. At the same time, another user has commented, this is the first time that a Japanese can sing a Tamil song so beautifully. Another user says, we need to learn a lot from the Japanese. They know very well how to win people’s hearts.
Let us tell you that Rajinikanth’s ‘Muthu’ became the highest-grossing Indian film in Japanese history in 1995 with an earning of 400 million Japanese Yen (ie approximately 23.5 crores). However, in 2022, Ram Charan and Jr NTR starrer film ‘RRR’ broke this 24-year-old record by making huge profits at the Japanese box office.
