'''''Rangasthalam''''' is the soundtrack of the [[List of Telugu films of 2018|2018]] Indian [[Telugu language|Telugu-language]] film [[Rangasthalam|of the same name]] directed by [[Sukumar (director)|Sukumar]]. Composed by [[Devi Sri Prasad]], the soundtrack contains 6 songs with lyrics by [[Chandrabose (lyricist)|Chandrabose]]. The film was produced by Naveen Yerneni, Ravi Shankar Yelamanchili and Mohan Cherukuri for [[Mythri Movie Makers]]. [[Ram Charan]] and [[Samantha Akkineni]] played the lead roles, with [[Jagapathi Babu|Jagapati Babu]], [[Aadhi Pinisetty]], [[Prakash Raj]], [[Naresh (actor)|Naresh]], [[Rohini (actress)|Rohini]] and [[Anasuya Bharadwaj]] in supporting roles.

Chandrabose wrote the lyrics at [[Pondicherry|Puducherry]] after holding discussions with Sukumar and Prasad, and completed work on five songs in four days with each one taking half an hour to complete. The tunes were composed after the lyrics were written. [[Lahari Music]] released the soundtrack on 15 March 2018 in YouTube and all other digital platforms. The soundtrack received positive reviews from the critics, who were appreciative of the lyrics and Prasad's instrumentation in tune with the film's periodic setting.

To sound authentic, Prasad approached folk singers Shiva Nagulu, Rela Kumar and Ganta Venkata Lakshmi to provide vocals for the songs "Aa Gattununtava" and "Jigelu Rani". For the latter, he used a 70 year old clarinet as the song would reflect the mood of Rajahmundry of the 1980s.<ref name="DSP int TOI" /> During the re-recording phase, the soundtrack version of "Aa Gattununtava" was discarded due to issues in lip syncing and the initial rough track (sung by Prasad) was used. Nagulu, however, received credit as the singer of the song in the soundtrack.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.ntnews.com/cinema-news-telugu/sukumar-gives-clarity-on-shiv-nagulu-song-1-1-562144.html |title=శివ‌నాగులు పాట మార్చ‌డానికి గ‌ల కార‌ణం చెప్పిన సుక్కూ |date=4 April 2018 |work=Namaste Telangana |access-date=10 September 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180910093022/https://www.ntnews.com/cinema-news-telugu/sukumar-gives-clarity-on-shiv-nagulu-song-1-1-562144.html |archive-date=10 September 2018 |language=Telugu |trans-title=Sukumar gives clarity on Shiva Nagulu's song}}</ref>

== Critical reception ==
Reviewing for ''[[Firstpost]]'', Mridula Ramadugu termed ''Rangasthalam''{{'s}} soundtrack as Prasad's "most offbeat album yet" and added, "It would be biased to say — Not one track from this album goes unnoticed; but we are going to say exactly that. We took in this pure folk so well and enjoyed every bit of it."<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/rangasthalam-music-review-devi-sri-prasads-soundtrack-perfectly-reflects-rural-essence-of-ram-charan-starrer-4410363.html |title=Rangasthalam music review: Devi Sri Prasad's soundtrack perfectly reflects rural essence of Ram Charan-starrer |last=Ramadugu |first=Mridula |date=30 March 2018 |work=Firstpost |access-date=10 September 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180910113303/https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/rangasthalam-music-review-devi-sri-prasads-soundtrack-perfectly-reflects-rural-essence-of-ram-charan-starrer-4410363.html |archive-date=10 September 2018}}</ref> [[Scroll.in]], in its review of the soundtrack, opined that Prasad's compositions "channel folk tunes that could have easily found a place on the stage" with "Yentha Sakkagunnave" mirroring Sukumar's effort "to bridge the gap between the stage and the screen", thus standing out from the rest.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/music/music-review-rangasthalam/articleshow/63334439.cms |title=Devi Sri Prasad is the other hero of the Telugu hit 'Rangasthalam' |date=2 April 2018 |publisher=Scroll.in |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180910115239/https://scroll.in/reel/873969/devi-sri-prasad-is-the-other-hero-of-the-telugu-hit-rangasthalam |archive-date=10 September 2018 |access-date=10 September 2018}}</ref> Priyanka Sundar of ''[[Hindustan Times]]'' called the soundtrack "rustic" and "highlights the backdrop of the film well", with the song "Yentha Sakkagunnave" being the soundtrack's highlight.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/regional-movies/rangasthalam-audio-review-the-music-of-ram-charan-samantha-akkineni-film-offers-rustic-charm/story-wj9NwtaQ84WSZ2YvhGBz2O.html |title=Rangasthalam audio review: The music of Ram Charan, Samantha Akkineni film offers rustic charm |last=Sundar |first=Priyanka |date=15 March 2018 |work=Hindustan Times |access-date=10 September 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180910113946/https://www.hindustantimes.com/regional-movies/rangasthalam-audio-review-the-music-of-ram-charan-samantha-akkineni-film-offers-rustic-charm/story-wj9NwtaQ84WSZ2YvhGBz2O.html |archive-date=10 September 2018}}</ref> In contrast, Suhas Yellapantula of ''[[The Times of India]]'' called the soundtrack "one-dimensional", criticising for its lack of variety despite being in sync with the film's theme.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/music/music-review-rangasthalam/articleshow/63334439.cms |title=Music review: Rangasthalam |last=Yellapantula |first=Suhas |date=17 March 2018 |work=The Times of India |access-date=10 September 2018 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20180910114520/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/music/music-review-rangasthalam/articleshow/63334439.cms |archive-date=10 September 2018}}</ref>
