The lyrical video of the much-awaited song Kissik has been released. Expectations were high among film lovers and Allu Arjun fans nationwide.
While the song is decent, many are comparing it to Oo Antava from Pushpa 1 and rating it lower.
Here's a glimpse of some social media reactions:
- "Oo Antava was a wildfire—Kissik is just a fire."
- "Kissik isn’t up to the mark. It feels like it was rushed. Neither the lyrics nor the singer seem to have fully immersed themselves as they did in Oo Antava."
- "Two slides of the Hindi lyrical video include Telugu lyrics. This shows how hastily things were done at the last minute, without proper cross-checking before release."
- "Oo Antava explored the psychology of men, which resonated universally. In contrast, Kissik is about a woman warning men to keep secrets. This is less relatable and has limited appeal."
- "Kissik is good, but it would’ve been better suited for Part 1, with Oo Antava taking its place in Part 2. Oo Antava is 100 times better."
- "DSP tried to compensate for the lack of strong lyrics and singing with his orchestration. It feels like Chandrabose and Sukumar didn’t invest adequate time to craft something truly exceptional, like they did earlier."
- "A line like 'debbalu padathayi raja' if you leak our pictures, portrays a timid girl, not a bold one. This is a major drawback in the lyrics."
- "The dance steps by Samantha and Allu Arjun in Pushpa 1 played a vital role in Oo Antava’s success. The lyrical video for Kissik lacks any glimpse of such impactful choreography. Without it, this song may struggle to stand out."
- "There’s no fire in this song because DSP himself is on fire—against the producer!"
Overall, Kissik has received mixed reviews, with almost 90% of opinions agreeing that it falls short of Oo Antava in terms of lyrics and singing quality. This song has not lived up to the hype surrounding the film as much as expected.
