Development
editSukumar's usual composer Devi Sri Prasad was assigned to compose the score and soundtrack for 1: Nenokkadine; it is also Prasad's first collaboration with Babu. While discussing the script with Sukumar, the latter felt that Prasad translated his vision in the background score.[1] The music sittings began in Hyderabad in September 2012, with Prasad describing the album as "radically different" and unique from his previous works.[2] The re-recording of the film's second half was completed within seven days.[3] Prem Rakshith choreographed the song sequences.[4]
Marketing and release
editThe music rights were acquired by Lahari Music for ₹1 crore (equivalent to ₹1.7 crore or US$200,000 in 2023), a record for a Telugu film.[5][6] A 25-second teaser of the song "Who Are You?" was released on 17 December.[7] The film's soundtrack was launched at the Shilpakala Vedika in Hyderabad, with the presence of the cast and crew, and watched by 14,500 people on venue.[8][9] The event was premiered live in 24 theatres across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, being the first Indian soundtrack release event to be showcased live in theatres.[10] The event was also aired live on NTV and TV9 Telugu which acquired the telecasting rights for ₹2.5 crore (equivalent to ₹4.2 crore or US$510,000 in 2023); the deal was finalized with an agreement that media personnel (television, newspaper and website) should not be present at the venue and those who willing to attend, should buy a fan pass to attend without professional cameras, and photos will be shared after the event ends.[8] The rhyme featured in the film's climax scene was launched by Mahesh's son Gautam Krishna (who also played the protagonist's younger version) through YouTube on 23 January 2014.[11]
Reception
editA reviewer from The Times of India complimented its variety in genres, describing it as an "engaging" album.[12] Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog wrote "Devi Sri Prasad delivers a lively and ear-friendly soundtrack for his first film with Mahesh Babu".[13] Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu wrote "As a surprise there's Devi Sri Prasad's background score that's so different from his regular fare. He's been given the chance to push the envelope and boy, he does it so well."[14] A reviewer from Sify wrote: "Music director Devi Sri Prasad excels in providing background score."[15] Sridhar Vivan of Bangalore Mirror called it as one of the highlights.[16] Suresh Kavirayani of Deccan Chronicle criticized the music to be "mediocre".[17]
