Beyond all that pulsating rock sound, Hero hero actually has just a functional tune, though the odd ‘Senthamizh thenmozhiyal’ inclusion does spice up things. Shreya is superb in the title song, the fantastic rock base sitting perfectly on the melody! Onam onam starts of very authentically, but moves into a highly rhythmic Telugu sound, powered by Chinmayi’s pitch-perfect singing. Vaadarey machan and Come on baby, despite the bombastic masala sound, seem largely templatized and tame. Seetha kalyanam is interesting because it changes the usual raaga into something different! Mixed bag, but the good ones showcase immense promise for this composer!
