The original score and songs were composed by A. R. Rahman; the lyrics were penned by Bichu Thirumala. This is the only released Malayalam movie for which Rahman has composed the music so far.
The soundtrack was also released in Tamil (as Asokan), Hindi (as Dharam Yoddha) and Telugu (as Yoddha). The respective soundtracks featured versions of all songs except "Mamboove", which was not featured in the film. "Mamboove" was later reused for the Tamil movie Pavithra as "Sevvanam". The lyrics were written by Vairamuthu, P. K. Mishra and Veturi respectively for the Tamil, Hindi and Telugu versions. The Hindi version was added with five songs composed by Pappu Khan.
The soundtrack was met with positive responses upon release. The track "Padakali" is often considered one of the most popular songs ever in the Malayalam film history. Besides the tune of the song, the tongue twisting lyrics by Bichu Thirumala and choreography by Kumar were noticed.
