B. Ajaneesh Loknath’s Music in Kantara Film:
B. Ajaneesh Loknath composed the movie’s soundtrack. 30 to 40 musicians were brought in to play with him. Mime Ramdas helped the crew, which focused mostly on folk music shown through Jaanapada songs performed on traditional instruments. Songs that are commonly sung by the general public during agricultural harvest and those that are well-liked by the local tribes were incorporated into the background score and album. According to the band Thaikkudam Bridge, who released Navarasam in 2017, the song “Varaha Roopam” was allegedly lifted verbatim from the song “Navarasam”. This tune evokes feelings of nostalgia.
