Many netizens, after the Monica promo, questioned why Anirudh Ravichander is not letting other singers sing the songs under his compositions, and stated that over a period of time, his voice has become saturated. They also suggested that, at least from the next album, he should let other singers sing.

Also, The first single of Coolie, Chikitu, which was released a few days ago, ended up as an average song, so Anirudh needs to deliver Monica as an instant chartbuster to prove his potential.
Previously, Anirudh Ravichander delivered a banger item number, Kaavaalaa, for Jailer, which ended up as an instant chartbuster and created a huge buzz for Jailer before its release.

In the promo, the last few shots from the movie featuring Pooja Hegde and Soubin Shahir dancing to the Monica song are anticipated to be a blast in theaters and Some people on social media also responded that, more than Pooja Hegde, Soubin Shahir’s dance in this song is going to be the major highlight.
However, it remains to be seen whether the Monica song satisfies the expectations of the audience and emerges as an instant chartbuster, fueling the hype for Coolie upon its release on July 11th.
