Anup Rubens works his magic for romantic thriller Hello! with tracks like Haricharan’s deft “Thalachi Thalachi”—beautiful guitar melodies all the way—and “Yevevo”, which features a warm, earnest guest vocal by the film’s lead, Akhil Akkineni. More upbeat, pacey vibes come in the form of “Merise Merise” and the stripped-back and breezy title track “Hello!”, a song to stroll to hand-in-hand with bae.
