Devara ‘Fear Song’ : Anirudh belts out a screamer

The much-hyped ‘Fear’ song from Man of Masses NTR’s highly anticipated action saga ‘Devara: Part 1’ is out this Sunday evening as a birthday treat, and it turns out to be a perfect gift for his fans and music lovers. Fear seems to be a constant emotion in Devara, as the makers have been highlighting it from the very day the shooting formalities kicked off, and this song just pushes the expectations a notch higher.

Music maestro Anirudh Ravichander, who has a sensational track record for delivering crowd-pleasing chartbusters that can send listeners into a tizzy instantly, has once again belted out a screamer with his thumping score that ratchets up the hype on the rest of the album. His scintillating rendition stands out despite the fact that the lyrics are not easily understandable.

The Fear song is invigorating because Anirudh’s superlative score overwhelms everything else. The music dominates the entire song, and even the incisive lyrics penned by Ramjogayya Sastry are very hard to decipher. Anirudh lent energetic vocals, and his lively performance is another takeaway for the song.

It is a typical hero elevation song that lionizes the brutal and violent qualities of the merciless lead protagonist, who is the ‘Lord of Fear’ for his opponents. The song is shot exquisitely with a sea backdrop, and NTR’s intense screen presence as the savior of his followers makes it more appealing.

Overall, Fear song is not a regular foot-tapping mass number that is usually expected from Anirudh, but it has got so much intensity in terms of his score and acts as a slow poison because it may take some time for the lyrics to be comprehended by music lovers.
