## Composition and collaboration
Keeravani composed the songs and the film's background score. He is [S. S. Rajamouli](https://www.edgepedia.org/s-s-rajamouli)'s cousin and his regular composer; in a 2023 interview marking eight years of the film, Keeravani said the two had worked on twelve films together, starting with Rajamouli's first film *Student No.1*, and that Rajamouli gives him creative space to compose songs the way he wants.[5](https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/news/features/8-years-baahubali-beginning-film-became-precious-not-us-also-public-says-composer-m-m-keeravani/) Keeravani also said he had no idea the film would become so large, and that "Baahubali became precious not only to us but also to the public."[5](https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/news/features/8-years-baahubali-beginning-film-became-precious-not-us-also-public-says-composer-m-m-keeravani/)
Rajamouli described the songs' narrative function in a 2015 interview: "For the longest time, song and dance have been very much part of Indian film, we cannot take them away. In Baahubali what we tried to do is cover a lot of story in the songs."[6](https://screenanarchy.com/2015/07/interview-director-ss-rajamouli-on-baahubali-an-epic-undertaking-gallery.html)

The Tamil version pairs each Telugu song with a Tamil counterpart: "Pachchai Thee" (Karthik, Damini Bhatla), "Jeeva Nadhi" (Geetha Madhuri), "Deerane" (Ramya Behara, Deepu), "Irul Konda Vaanil" (Deepika), "Moochile Theeyumaay" ([Kailash Kher](https://www.edgepedia.org/kailash-kher)), "Manogari" ([Haricharan](https://www.edgepedia.org/haricharan), Mohana Bhogaraju), "Siva Sivaya Potri" (M.

A separate "With Dialogues" edition on Lahari Music pairs the songs with dialogue excerpts performed by the film's cast, including Prabhas, Anushka Shetty, Rana Daggubati, Ramya Krishna, and [Sathyaraj](https://www.edgepedia.org/sathyaraj).[7](https://www.shazam.com/album/1842557619/baahubali-the-beginning-with-dialogues-original-motion-picture-soundtrack)
## Background score and sound
The instrumental score has been described as built on massed choir, heavy percussion, and modal melodic writing that reads as archaic without being ethnographic.[8](https://sightlines.media/film/256040/bahubali-the-beginning-2015) The film's sound mixer, Justin Jose, mixed *Baahubali: The Beginning* in [Dolby Atmos](https://www.edgepedia.org/dolby-atmos) and wrote that Keeravani's background score and music was "one of the finest in the recent times"; the Hindi version was a dub based on the Telugu video, and the sound editor Gokul K. R. edited the Tamil version to match the Telugu mix.[9](https://film-mixing.com/2015/08/05/behind-the-dolby-atmos-mix-of-baahubali/)
The score has also reached the concert hall: the New Jersey Symphony presented the North American premiere of *Baahubali: The Beginning* live in concert, with the orchestra performing the music alongside the film.[10](https://www.njsymphony.org/assets/doc/New-Jersey-Symphony-Presents-the-North-American-Premiere-of-Baahubali-The-Beginning-Live-in-Concert-a4f2d1019a.pdf)
