'''''Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu''''' is the [[soundtrack]] to the [[Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu|eponymous 2022 Tamil-language neo-noir gangster film]] directed by [[Gautham Vasudev Menon]] and starring [[Silambarasan]] in the lead role. The film's soundtrack features five songs composed by [[A. R. Rahman]] and lyrics written by [[Vivek (lyricist)|Vivek]] & [[Thamarai]]. It is preceded by two singles—"Kaalathukkum Nee Venum" and "Marakkuma Nenjam"—before the album's release on 31 August 2022 through [[Think Music]]. The album, particularly the song "Mallipoo", received positive response from music critics.

== Development ==
''Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu'' marked Rahman's third collaboration with Menon after ''[[Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa]]'' (2010) and ''[[Achcham Yenbadhu Madamaiyada]]'' (2016); fourth with Silambarasan after the former two films and ''[[Chekka Chivantha Vaanam]]'' (2018).<ref>{{Cite web |date=6 August 2021 |title=Simbu's next with Gautham Vasudev Menon titled Vendhu Thaninthathu Kaadu, see first look |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/tamil/simbu-next-with-gautham-vasudev-menon-titled-vendhu-thaninthathu-kaadu-see-first-look-7441527/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210806115026/https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/tamil/simbu-next-with-gautham-vasudev-menon-titled-vendhu-thaninthathu-kaadu-see-first-look-7441527/ |archive-date=6 August 2021 |access-date=9 August 2021 |website=[[The Indian Express]]}}</ref> As with Menon's previous films, [[Thamarai]] penned the lyrics for all the songs in the film. Rahman had initially worked on three songs for ''Nadhigalil Neeradum Sooriyan'', a film that was intended before the production of ''Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu''. Menon, then requested Rahman to use the same tunes with different lyrics but Rahman composed fresh tunes for the film.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news |last=Ramanujam |first=Srinivasa |date=1 September 2022 |title=STR at 'Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu' audio launch: 'Gratitude is my new attitude' |url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/str-at-vendhu-thanindhathu-kaadu-audio-launch-gratitude-is-my-new-attitude/article65844465.ece |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220908212953/https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/str-at-vendhu-thanindhathu-kaadu-audio-launch-gratitude-is-my-new-attitude/article65844465.ece |archive-date=8 September 2022 |access-date=22 January 2024 |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}</ref> Producer [[Ishari K.
