Production

The film's soundtrack album and background score are composed by Anirudh Ravichander in his fourth Telugu project after Agnyaathavaasi (2018), Jersey (2019), and Nani's Gang Leader (2019). [2] This also marks the second time Siva has worked with another music director besides his frequent collaborator, Devi Sri Prasad. [3] At a press conference in Chennai, Anirudh recalled that the actor's fans had trended on Twitter insisting his inclusion for a future project, which led the team rope him for the film. [4] Anirudh was initially roped in for Aravinda Sametha Veera Raghava (2018) before he was replaced by Thaman S as the composer. [5] He further added, "When Koratala Siva sir narrated the story to me, I was genuinely excited and entertained. I realised that it is not a mainstream Telugu film, but a rather different idea in the commercial genre. I had also not done a mass film in Telugu until then. Additionally, this film is Anna’s solo release after 6 years, which means that it will have a lot of expectations." [6]

The music sittings for the film began in November 2022. [7] In August 2023, Ramajogayya Sastry in his X (formerly Twitter) account, had announced that he had started writing the lyrics for the film's songs. [8] While recording the film's music and score, Anirudh impressed on the film's production values, scale and opulence of grandeur, as well as it having a multitude of emotions, which felt that working in three films at once. [9] Anirudh recorded the film score during the third quarter of 2024, at Budapest with Budapest Scoring Orchestra performing the score. He utilized newer instrumentations and soundscape to bring a fresh sound. [9]

The film's music rights were purchased by T-Series at the price of 27 crore (US$3.2 million). [10]

Reception

Christy Rosy Sibi of The Week wrote "[Anirudh] does everything in his power to bring the plot alive. He ever so gracefully magnetised the scenes to his music, enticing emotions that the audience would not have felt otherwise." [29] Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu , with praise for the film's technical departments, added "The one who has had the most fun, though, is Anirudh Ravichander. Sometimes with rock-inspired score and sometimes using the traditional dol and dappu, his music infuses energy into the proceedings." [30] Balakrishna Ganeshan of The News Minute added that Anirudh's "bombastic music score" amped up the emotions. [31]

Rajasekar S of The Federal wrote "Anirudh is another big asset of the film, his background score and songs amplify many adequate moments." [32] Janani K. of India Today wrote "Composer Anirudh Ravichander's background music elevates certain theatrical moments, but the songs act as speedbreakers in the film." [33] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV wrote "Anirudh Ravichander's BGM rises and falls in keeping with the needs of the action, which, in effect, means that it is almost always flirting with distracting crescendos. The songs, too, come and go without creating much impact." [34]

Controversy

The song "Chuttamalle" was alleged to be copied from the viral Srilankan song "Manike Mage Hithe" performed by Yohani and Satheesan, after users compared both the songs having similarities in terms of instrumental arrangements and compositions. [35] [36] However, the original composer Chamath Sangeeth responded to it, as he elated on his song had inspired Anirudh to create something similar. [37]
