== Development ==
The film is scored by [[Santhosh Narayanan]] in his third Telugu venture after ''Billa Ranga'' (2013) and ''[[Guru (2017 film)|Guru]]'' (2017).{{Efn|Remakes of Tamil films ''[[Soodhu Kavvum]]'' (2013) and ''[[Irudhi Suttru]]'' (2016), which was also originally scored by Santhosh Narayanan.}}<ref>{{Citation |title=Santhosh Narayanan Interview With Baradwaj Rangan {{!}} Wide Angle {{!}} #dasara {{!}} #projectk {{!}} Galatta plus |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNyuvKmW3qM |access-date=2023-03-30 |language=en}}</ref> Odela and the team wanted a composer giving time and freedom for expressing director's vision in the story, and also providing rooted musicians for the audience.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=kavitha |date=2023-03-12 |title=Actor Nani on why he picked Dasara: There's more to films than box-office |url=https://thefederal.com/entertainment/actor-nani-on-why-he-picked-dasara-theres-more-to-films-than-box-office/ |access-date=2023-03-30 |website=The Federal |language=en-US}}</ref> After zeroing multiple musicians, he finalised on Narayanan. In an interview, Narayanan revealed that he heard over 90 scripts from Telugu, where he picked ''Dasara'' as he opined it as "one of the best scripts he heard in 10 years".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Arikatla |first=Venkat |date=2023-03-04 |title=Dasara Is The Best Script In 10 Years: Narayanan |url=https://www.greatandhra.com/movies/news/dasara-is-the-best-script-in-10-years-narayanan-127680 |access-date=2023-03-30 |website=greatandhra.com |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite web |title=Santosh Narayanan's local flavour for Dasara |url=https://www.idlebrain.com/news/today/dasara-santhoshnarayan-localflavour.html |access-date=2023-03-30 |website=idlebrain.com}}</ref> According to Narayanan, the film offered him the space for research and experimentation that went on for more than a year, as being a rooted film with lot of rustic cultural elements, he added:<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web |last1=Babu |first1=Hari |last2=Gandhi |first2=Sudharshan |title=Sarpatta, Vada Chennai, Karnan! - Nani Shares{{!}} Santhosh Narayanan {{!}} Dasara |url=https://cinema.vikatan.com/kollywood/dasara-movie-actor-nani-exclusive-interview |access-date=2023-03-30 |website=Ananda Vikatan |language=ta}}</ref><blockquote>
"It wasn’t superficial research where I just call someone or spend time with them, I never do that. We worked really hard for this film [...] In that one year, I learned a lot about that culture. Since I did not know the language I was very careful not to misrepresent anything. In Tamil, we take care of sounds so well, and we ensure certain ethnic sounds are not drowned out by other elements. I wanted to do the same in Dasara, and I found people I could trust with for delivering such an output. It was an amazing experience and I am proud to be part of that film."<ref name=":0" /></blockquote>
Narayanan also praised Srikanth Odela's vision to bring the rustic tonality as "he is very rooted and had a vast knowledge of the region where he comes from" comparing that of [[Mari Selvaraj]]'s vision towards nativity and rootedness in [[Pariyerum Perumal|''Pariyerum Perumal'']] (2018). He told Srikanth to do a scratch cut of his song before signing the project, thereby pretending to be a first-time composer for the film.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Santhosh Narayanan Interview: Playing with gaana and symphony |url=https://www.cinemaexpress.com/tamil/interviews/2023/mar/14/santhosh-narayanan-interview-playing-with-gaana-and-symphony-41070.html |access-date=2023-03-30 |website=[[Cinema Express]] |language=en}}</ref>
