Music

A. R. Rahman was approached to compose the music for the film but he opted out citing busy schedules. The soundtrack is scored by the acclaimed composer trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, whilst the background score is composed by Vishwa Mohan Bhatt. To give an Orissi touch to the film, a devotional song of Lord Jagannath, an integral part of the dance form, will be sung during the dance.The film has two classical songs, a Sanskrit sloka by eminent Poet Pdt.Manmohan Acharya and an Oriya song taken from Padyaballi, written by Gopalkrushna Patnaik.

Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “Always, however brutal an age may actually have been, its style transmits its music only.”
    —André Malraux (1901–1976)

    “So gladly, from the songs of modern speech
    Men turn, and see the stars, and feel the free
    Shrill wind beyond the close of heavy flowers,
    And through the music of the languid hours,
    They hear like ocean on a western beach
    The surge and thunder of the Odyssey.”
    —Andrew Lang (1844–1912)

    “The music stopp’d, and I stood still,
    And found myself outside the Hill,
    Left alone against my will,
    To go now limping as before,
    And never hear of that country more!””
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)
