Overall, Devara’s music album is a success. The makers have invested a bomb on Anirudh Ravichander, and he didn’t disappoint. The second single, ‘Chuttamalle’, a romantic melody, is undoubtedly the biggest hit of the three songs released so far. While there were some plagarism allegations, the track is thoroughly enjoyable.
However, there seems to be a desperation behind ‘Fear Song’ and ‘Daavudi’. While the former feels like a rip-off of Hukum from Jailer (2023), the latter is a mishmash of Halamathi Habibu from Vijay’s Beast (2022). It is evident that the makers have tried to mimic the success of Anirudh’s previous hits.
This brings us to the question: who’s the individual behind these desperate attempts: Tarak or Koratala? Whoever it could be, Anirudh has done a commendable job in creating good buzz around Devara: Part One that is scheduled for a release on 27th September, 2024.
