Development
editIn October 2023, during the film's launch, it was announced that Jakes Bejoy would compose the film's music and background score, in his first collaboration with Nani and Athreya. Bejoy recalled that his compositions for the Malayalam film King of Kotha (2023) attributed to his involvement in the project as Athreya liked the film's soundscape which was a blend of North Indian percussive music with western orchestral beats.[1]
Following his involvement, he composed the musical piece for the promotional title teaser Unchained.[2][3] Bejoy wanted to bring that "pucca Marvel superhero mood" making it standout from regular commercial films and the announcement video helped him to come up with a theme.[1] Bejoy further composed separate themes for the promotional materials, such as Surya's (Nani) and Daya's (Suryah) character teasers that helped him to develop the soundscape for the project.[1] He added "Every two months we were working on a new theme. By the time four videos came out, we had four solid themes, and the audience already registered it. My duty was just to use those themes at the appropriate places in the film."[1]
Once he had the themes ready, Bejoy focused on the film's high moments.[1] He further recalled that the post-interval fight sequence between Surya and Daya's planning moments that culminated in the pub sequence where Surya attacks Daya, was a challenging moment where there are no dialogues and the entire sequence being musically driven. It took him five days to get the moment right, adding "That build-up is what worked—the way it starts to reach a crescendo. It’s a technique in scoring."[1] All the songs in the film had a different musical vibe. The promotional song "Sa Ri Ma Pa" was targeted for the Instagram Reels audience.[1]
Release
editThe film's music rights were acquired by Sony Music India.[4] Soon after the announcement, the song "Unchained" which soundtracked the film's announcement trailer, was released on 19 February 2024.[5] The track "Samavarthi" which was featured in Surya's character teaser, released on Nani's birthday (24 February 2024) was separately released as an audio format on 28 February 2024.[6]
The album was preceded by three singles—the first song "Garam Garam" was released as a single on 15 June 2024.[7] It is the introduction number for Surya's character, that featured lyrics written by Sanapati Bharadwaj Patrudu and sung by Vishal Dadlani.[8][9] The second single "Ullasam" was released on 13 July 2024.[10] A romantic number picturized on Surya and Charulatha (Mohan), the song had lyrics written by Sanare and performed by Sanjith Hegde and Krishna Lasya Muthyala.[10] The third single titled "Sa Ri Ma Pa", a promotional video song featuring Nani and Mohan, was released on 24 August 2024.[11] The song featured lyrics written by Krishna Kanth and performed by Karthik.[12][13] The full album was released on 25 August 2024.[14]

Reception
editSangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu and Avinash Ramachandran of The Indian Express called the score "pulsating" and "adrenaline pumping".[17][18] Janani K. of India Today wrote "Composer Jakes Bejoy's pulsating background music enhances the theatrical moments. However, his songs are quite forgettable."[19] Balakrishna Ganesan of The News Minute wrote "Jakes Bejoy’s music is a mild let-down, as his background scores are too overpowering and loud."[20] Neeshita Nyayapati of Hindustan Times wrote "The background score by Jakes Bejoy, in particular, ebbs and flows with Surya’s mood, making for an immersive experience and adding depth to a story that might otherwise come across as run-of-the-mill."[21]
