First of all, I like the song. Its a nice song as a stand alone song. I don't know about others, but the way song makes me feel is that its not a song that can be placed in Chola era. Its not that modern instruments can't be used, its the feel. Its has pop feel, why?. Also, ARR should not have sung the song. It should have been done by some other singer with commanding voice.

For the film, Rahman researched extensively for the period setting and soundscape, taking nearly six months for initial works on the music.[2] The soundtrack was curated and conceptualised for nearly three years, since mid-2019 to early-2022, where all the songs were recorded at the Panchathan Record Inn and AM Studios in Chennai, and also recorded at the Firdaus Studio in Dubai, inaugurated by Rahman, during Expo 2020.[3] The soundtrack is the first of the two-part series composed for the duology, which has six songs for each film. It also marked Rahman's first soundtrack for a Mani Ratnam film not to feature lyrics written by Vairamuthu. Instead the soundtrack for the Tamil version, featured lyrics written by Ilango Krishnan, Kabilan, Siva Ananth and Krithika Nelson, while Mehboob Kotwal, Ananta Sriram, Rafeeq Ahamed and Jayanth Kaikini are credited as the songwriters for the Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada versions, respectively.[4]

Ponniyin Selvan: I's soundtrack, released by Tips Music, featured two singles. The first song titled "Ponni Nadhi" was released by Tips Music on 31 July 2022,[5] and the second song "Chola Chola" was released on 19 August.[6][7] The music launch event was held on 6 September, at Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai, with the presence of the cast and crew and other celebrities.[8] The album was officially released to music streaming platforms on the following day, 7 September, along with the Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada versions. The music received positive response from critics appreciating Rahman's composition and the lyrics, while also praising the instrumentation in tune to the periodic setting and soundscape.[9]

The soundtrack featured music composed by Ratnam's norm collaborator, A. R. Rahman. He called Ponniyin Selvan as one of the most difficult projects, since it is an epic film, and required an exhaustive research.[2] It took him six months to work on the project, and he and Mani Ratnam also went to Bali and Cambodia for writing some of the songs,[2] However, Rahman had stated the challenging part on scoring the film is that, Ratnam wanted a particular sound, "which is unique but at the same time relatable", adding that he worked hard to get that sound.[2] Rahman researched on periodic instruments for the songs in tune to the film's setting in Chola period.[10] During their music session in Bali and Cambodia, he incorporated those instruments from the region and used it in the soundtrack. In a September 2019 interaction with the press, Ratnam revealed that the film will have 12 songs (featuring in two-parts).[11]

In December 2019, singer Harini confirmed in an interview that she has rendered her voice for one of the songs in the film.[12] Shreya Ghoshal further recorded one song for the film. Apart from composition, Rahman also sang the track "Ponni Nadhi" for the film.[10] In a January 2021 interview to Naman Ramachandran of Variety, Rahman said that the entire composition was completed during the COVID-19 lockdown in India. In December, Rahman shared a glimpse from the recording session of the film's songs, through social media platforms.[13][14] The recording of the songs were completed by early-January 2022, and had submitted the final versions to Ratnam, who was impressed with the songs.[15]

Ilango Krishnan, Kabilan, Siva Ananth and Krithika Nelson reported to write the songs for the Ponniyin Selvan: I soundtrack. For the dubbed versions, Mehboob Kotwal, Ananta Sriram, Rafeeq Ahamed and Jayanth Kaikini wrote the song lyrics in Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada languages. Initially, Vairamuthu was reported to write all of the songs for the film, continuing the three-decade long collaboration with Ratnam and Rahman. His involvement received criticism from the female peers in the industry, particularly that of singer Chinmayi, who accused him on the grounds of sexual misconduct, led him to be excluded from the project in mid-December 2019.[21][22] Rahman did not comment about Vairamuthu's exit, as the officials of Madras Talkies made the decision,[23] while also adding that two of the songs were written by Kabilan.[23] Several lyricists were reported to be part of the film, including Venba Geethaiyan, who was about to contribute to the songs, but was not officially roped in.[24] In August 2021, the production executives officially revealed that poet Ilango Krishnan, will write lyrics for the film's songs.[4] He was reported to contribute for eight songs in the two-part franchise.[25][26]

"For this song, he told me that it had captured Vanthiyathevan's thoughts as he was riding to the Chola capital to deliver messages to the king and his daughter Kundhavai, who was the sister of his friend and leader Aaditha Karikalan. Vanthiyathevan is a warrior, who is goodhearted, intelligent, mingles with everyone, somewhat attracted towards women and has great affection towards Karikalan. He is his trustworthy friend, aide, and also commander. He has longing to see Thanjavur and the Ponni river for many years, but has been stuck up with the battles Karikalan was fighting in the north. Now, he finally has gotten his wish, but then he was going to travel as a spy. His thoughts turn to the Ponni river, which to him feels like heaven, but duty calls. The song had to capture this mental state of Vanthiyathevan."

Krishnan revealed that, the film's dialogue writer B. Jeyamohan contacted him through text, about his inclusion, and he formally met Ratnam and Rahman in February 2020, who collected some of the works related to Ponniyin Selvan.[28] For the songwriting process, he read several novels about the works of Cholas' history from prominent Indian historians-authors, K. A. Nilakanta Sastri, T. V. Sadasiva Pandarathar, Kudavayil Balasubramanian amongst several others, to ensure no historical inaccuracies. He also re-read classical poems, such as Akanau, Puranaanuru, Kuuntokai and Kamba Ramayanam, to refer those aesthetics of Classical and Sangam Tamil poetry, and incorporated modernised Tamil to "bring to life the imagery of the Chola period".[29]

The song "Ponni Nadhi" was written within a month, while other songs in the album were written within two hours. It was the fourth song at the time, Krishnan had submitted it, who was not aware on being the introductory song for Vandiyadevan.[28] While writing the track, he used the classical Tamil verses for few of the lines, including the first line from the song describes on "how Kallanai is an attire for Cauvery river that was built by Karikala Cholan 2,000 years ago".[28] Krishnan revealed that, the significance of the track, is that, it is one of the few songs in Tamil, in the past few years, that did not borrow words from other languages. But, he predominantly "stuck to words with common usages".[28]

The film's music launch event was held on 6 September 2022 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium, Chennai.[44][45] The event saw the attendance of the film's cast and crew, and graced by Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan as the chief guests.[46] It was preceded by a live performance featuring Rahman's musical ensemble, who performed the film's songs and also other chartbusters from films such as Roja (1992), Bombay (1995), Alai Payuthey (2000), Guru (2007) and several other films, as a tribute to 30 years of Rahman's debut in the film music industry and his collaboration with Ratnam.[47] The event was not streamed live, but was later telecasted on Sun TV on 25 September.[47]

Moviecrow also gave three-and-a-half stars and said "Rahman's soundtrack for the epic Ponniyin Selvan stays true to the story's situations and matches the grandeur needed while the composer's brilliance is also evident in the melodies."[51] Critic Siddharth Srinivas called the album as "a work of genius from AR Rahman, who skilfully puts in a variant and efficient set of songs that work superbly. This is another strong example of his amazing combinations with Mani Ratnam, and it works so well that one cannot stop going back to it."[52] Vipin Nair of Music Aloud stated "Ponniyin Selvan features the best songs that A. R. Rahman has produced for Mani Ratnam in a while".[53] Reviewing the track "Ponni Nadhi", critic based at Pinkvilla praised the composition, instrumentation and Rahman's vocals, stating "The music looks top-notch while Sivamani's thumping beats give us many reasons to be hooked to the magical track. The detailing of the flute in the song by Kamalakar and the violin by Vignesh give a refreshing and mesmerising take to the song altogether.[54] The Indian Express called the song as "rousing and energetic". On reviewing "Chola Chola", a critic from Outlook, praised the use of "global sounds" such as the South Indian folk instruments, percussions and the orchestra (Chennai Strings Orchestra, Sunshine Orchestra and Budapest Scoring Orchestra) making it an "audio-visual treat".[55] 006ab0faaa
