Akhanda is the soundtrack to the 2021 film of the same name directed by Boyapati Srinu starring Nandamuri Balakrishna and Pragya Jaiswal.

[1] Thaman and Srinu extensively researched on the music of Akhanda to understand the nuances of Aghori saints and maintained its authenticity through the instrumentation and lyrics.

[2] Thaman had initially composed five songs for the film, but one of the tracks had to be removed after watching the final edit, as it interrupted the flow of the narrative.

[8] Mukesh Manjunath of Film Companion said "the music becomes the green chilli that some people eat along with food that's already spicy.

"[9] In contrast, Manoj Kumar R. of The Indian Express found Thaman's score as "inccessant" and outdid the "screams and whistles in a packed movie theatre".
