The music for Thayi Karulu was composed by G. K. Venkatesh.[4] There are claims that the song Baa Thaaye Bharathiye was originally written by TN Balakrishna when he learned of the birth of his daughter, who was named Bharathi. According to these claims, GV Iyer, a friend of Balakrishna asked for permission to use the song in the film, and Balakrishna agreed to let him use it, with Iyer credited as the lyricist.[5]
