"Mutha Mazhai" from Thug Life has two versions, sung by Dhee and Chinmayi Sripada. Dhee's version is modern and edgy, the official soundtrack release. Chinmayi's live performance at the audio launch was emotional and classic, generating significant praise and sparking debate online about who "owned" the song. The song reminds listeners of other AR Rahman classics and has fueled a discussion about Chinmayi's absence from Tamil cinema.
