‘Tarasuki Ram’ Lyrical Reveals the Emotional Divide at the Heart of Draupathi 2

The newly released lyrical song “Tarasuki Ram” from Draupathi 2 stands out as a composition that treats celebration not merely as visual ornamentation, but as a powerful narrative device. Rather than functioning as a routine festive number, the song is deeply embedded in the film’s historical and ideological framework, using contrast to quietly articulate the emotional and cultural divides that shape the story.

Structured around two sharply defined stanzas, Tarasuki Ram unfolds as a musical conversation between opposing worlds. The opening segment, “Tarasuki Tarasuki,” presents the sultanate clan in a state of exuberant celebration. Marked by pulsating rhythms, large-scale choreography, and high-energy visuals, this portion projects celebration as a symbol of authority and dominance. The tone is expansive and assertive, driven by collective fervour and spectacle that emphasises power, momentum, and command.

The song then transitions seamlessly into its second stanza, “Jai Rama Rama Rama Hare Ram,” set during the sacred prāṇa pratiṣṭhā ceremony. Here, Richard Rishi’s character is seen carrying the idol of Lord Rama alongside members of his clan. While the mood remains celebratory, the emotional register shifts decisively toward devotion, unity, and shared spiritual resolve. Celebration, in this context, becomes an act of consecration and collective belief rather than outward display. The contrast between these two movements is left intentionally unspoken, allowing imagery and emotion to convey meaning.

Choreographed by Thanika Tony, the song maintains continuity through movement while preserving the individuality of both emotional spaces. The choreography serves as a binding force, enabling the two contrasting worlds to coexist within a single musical frame without diluting their distinct identities.

Produced by Sola Shakkaravarthi under Netaji Productions, in association with G M Film Corporation, Draupathi 2 expands into a broader and more layered historical canvas. Set in the 14th century, the film draws inspiration from an era marked by imperial conflicts, regional resistance, and cultural upheaval, referencing the reign of Hoysala emperor Veera Vallalar III and the legacy of the Kadavarayas of Sendhamangalam.

Following the strong emotional response to the earlier lyrical “Nelaraaje,” the release of Tarasuki Ram further underlines the makers’ intent to use music as an extension of storytelling rather than as standalone attraction. Directed by Mohan G, the film stars Richard Rishi alongside Rakshana Induchoodan in the commanding role of Draupathi Devi.

The ensemble cast includes Natti Natraj, Y G Mahendran, Nadodigal Barani, Saravana Subbiah, Vel Ramamoorthy, Siraj Johnny, Dinesh Lamba, Ganesh Gaurang, Divi, Devayani Sharma, and Arunodayan.

With Ghibran Vaibodha composing the music and Philip R Sundar handling cinematography, Draupathi 2 continues to gain momentum as a historical drama rooted in conviction, contrast, and immersive world-building—where music plays a central role in shaping narrative meaning.
