Development

[edit]

The music and background score are composed by Santhosh Narayanan, in his first collaboration with Suriya and eighth with Subbaraj.[1][a] His involvement was confirmed by the producers on his birthday (15 May 2024).[2][3] Shortly afterwards, he started working on the film's music by June 2024. The first piece, he composed was the theme for the promotional video—"the first shot", which was tuned within two hours, when Santhosh worked on the background score of Kalki 2898 AD (2024).[4][5]

As Subbaraj stated the film being set in the romantic action genre,[6] he provided a reference of Alai Payuthey (2000) for the musical soundscape and the vibe being a "perfect blend of action and love".[7] Santhosh began working on the film's background score by November 2024.[8] Santhosh, through his X account, had claimed that he used DeepSeek for producing the background scores for the film, which helped him to reduce the duration of stem export.[9] In a conversation with sound engineer Vijay Rathinam, Santhosh described the process was more of basic project cleaning based on empty tracks, tracks with all muted regions being moved to a folder and then exported based on custom preferences, and the reasoning language model was way better in DeepSeek than in ChatGPT.[10][11]

Album information

[edit]

The songs featured lyrics written by Arunraja Kamaraj, Vivek, Shan Vincent de Paul and 808krsna[b] and vocals performed by Punya Selva, Sid Sriram, 808krsna, SVDP, Suriya and Santhosh.[12] "Kannadi Poove" is a melancholic dance number sung by Santhosh and backing vocals provided by Kapil Kapilan himself.[13][14][15] It was composed in the traditional pallavi and charanam structure.[16] The song emphasizes the use of violin in the opening and in interlude for a melancholic feel, as the song is picturized on Suriya's character describing his love for Hegde during his incarceration.[17][18] After release, Santhosh described the song as close to his heart.[19]

"Kanimaa" which released as a second single is developed from casual conversations between Subbaraj, Santhosh and Vivek.[20] It's composition was influenced by the rhythm of 1990s wedding folk songs in Tamil, with the original structure of introductory line, hook line and chorus, and emphasized use of drums and trumpet for instrumentation and melody.[20] The composition of "Kanimaa" was influenced from T. Rajendar's "En Aasai Mythiliye" from Mythili Ennai Kaathali (1986).[21] The song was sung by Santhosh himself, with vocals from The Indian Choral Ensemble—Aparna Harikumar, Nidhi Saraogi, Sushmita Narasimhan, Sreekanth Hariharan, Shridhar Ramesh, and Karthik Manickavasakam.[22] The third single "The One" is a high energy, upbeat number, which featured vocals by Sid Sriram and Santhosh, with rap portions by SVDP, backing vocals by Mahalakshmi Santhosh and Victor, as well as chorus performed by The Indian Choral Ensemble.[23][24]

The song "Love Detox", an upbeat dance number is recorded by Punya Selva, with Suriya also singing a few lines along with Santhosh.[25] "Edharkaga Marubadi" is a melancholic number, also sung by Selva, and "Lose Your Fkin Mind" is a rap song written and performed by 808krsna.[25][12] At the film's audio launch, Santhosh asserted that the film featured 12 songs.[26] His mother Mahalakshmi had also recorded a song for the film.[26]

Music video

[edit]

Sheriff choreographed the songs, having did the same for all of Subbaraj's previous films. The song "Love Detox" is a dance number featuring Shriya Saran, which was filmed at the second schedule in Ooty.[27][28] The song "Kannadi Poove" was shot at the final phase of the filming schedule, before schedule wrap. A jail set was constructed at the BSNL office in Chennai for shooting the song.[29][30] The song "Kanimaa" is part of a 15-minute long single-shot sequence in the film, involving action, drama and dance.[31][32] Besides the lead cast and the supporting actors, Santhosh also appeared in a cameo in this song.[33] All the actors had shot the scene in a single take.[33]

The rest of the songs will be featured as montages, throughout the film.[12] However, a promotional music video for "The One" was shot with the singers;[34] the video was directed by Ken Royson, filmed by Shreyaas Krishna and choreographed by Suren of The Dancers Club.[34]

Reception

[edit]

Reviewing the film, Goutham S of Pinkvilla wrote "[…] Santhosh Narayanan delivers an outstanding score. While the music tracks were already popular, it’s the background score that truly breathes life into the film, enhancing every scene."[46] M. Suganth of The Times of India wrote " Then, there's Santhosh Narayanan, who delivers foot-tapping numbers and a rousing background score that elevates even the weaker moments."[47] Latha Srinivasan of Hindustan Times wrote " Speaking about the music, Santosh Narayan has delivered a thumping BGM that elevates the film, especially the action scenes. The song Kannima is already a major ear worm and whistle-inducing in theatres."[48] Avinash Ramachandran of The Indian Express wrote " What cinematographer Shreyaas Krishna, composer Santhosh Narayanan, and editor Shafique Mohammed Ali have achieved in Retro is nothing short of brilliant. […] The background scores for a lot of the characters, and the innumerable fight sequences, is Santhosh having a lot of fun."[49]

Upon the release of the first single "Kannadi Poove", the song was well received, praising it's music and lyrics.[17][50] A critic of The Times of India said, "With its soothing orchestration, breezy rhythms, and heartfelt lyrics, the track exudes an old-school charm while retaining a contemporary touch. The vocals, layered with tenderness, enhance the dreamy feel of the song, making it an instant earworm. Santhosh Narayanan’s signature experimental elements subtly infuse the composition, adding depth without overshadowing its emotional core. Overall, 'Kannadi Poove' is a mesmerising love ballad that promises to resonate deeply with listeners, capturing the essence of romance and longing."[51]

The song "Kanimaa" was praised by Srijony Das of Pinkvilla, who also called it a "foot-tapping number".[52] Atreyee Poddar of Indulge Express described the song as a "vibe material".[53] The Statesman praised the song and stated, "The track has that perfect mix of upbeat rhythm and catchy choreography, making it the next big sensation for reels and dance covers."[54] Rahul M of The Free Press Journal complimented the idea of the song and wrote "The song's visuals feature a traditional Tamil wedding with people dancing joyously in celebration. It shows people dressed in vibrant costumes and displaying celebratory vibes."[55] Upon reviewing the song "The One", Goutham S of Pinkvilla, noted "The song composed by Santhosh Narayanan packs in quite the energy in terms of bringing out a banger that everyone is likely to be excited for".[34]
