Discussing “Conditioning”
Overall Nuance
The repeated “Conditioning” is deliberately ironic. The ancestors are not teaching wisdom. They are reprogramming the protagonist into embracing arrogance, entitlement, and blind loyalty to his royal bloodline. The song functions as a satirical portrayal of inherited superiority and ideological brainwashing, which aligns with the film’s premise of a man in a coma being influenced by his ancestors in a dream.
Premise of the song
“Conditioning” is one of the most unusual songs in the Rao Bahadur soundtrack. Rather than functioning as a conventional romantic melody or celebratory number, it serves as a satirical musical sequence that explores the psychology of power, privilege, and inherited ideology. Composed, programmed, and arranged by Smaran Sai, with lyrics by Rehman, the song is performed by Venkatesh Maha, Smaran Sai and Satya Dev, the director, music director and actor themselves, whose contrasting vocal deliveries help distinguish the different voices within the protagonist’s dream.
The song appears during a crucial phase of the film when the protagonist, who believes he is the rightful heir to a royal dynasty, is lying in a coma. In his dream, he encounters his ancestors, who begin “conditioning” him into thinking and behaving like a ruler. Instead of offering wisdom or compassion, they encourage him to embrace superiority, authority, and unquestioned power. This dream becomes less of a family reunion and more of an ideological training session, where each lesson pushes him further toward believing that royal blood alone makes him worthy of ruling others.
The lyrics cleverly build this idea through exaggerated royal advice. The ancestors proudly remind him of his lineage, ask him to sit on the throne without ever lowering himself, and repeatedly tell him that the world belongs to him. The recurring word “Conditioning” becomes the central idea of the song. It represents the gradual process of reshaping someone’s thoughts until arrogance begins to feel like truth. Rather than presenting these ideas as ideals to admire, the song deliberately exaggerates them, allowing the audience to recognize how dangerous blind pride and inherited entitlement can become.
One of the most interesting aspects of the lyrics is their use of irony. Lines about covering the mind, preventing truth from entering, and erasing the belief that everyone is equal reveal that the ancestors are not educating the protagonist—they are programming him. Even when they speak about tradition and heritage, the intention is not to preserve culture but to reinforce unquestioned authority. This makes the song function almost like a theatrical performance within the dream, where every instruction slowly transforms the protagonist’s worldview.
Following the film’s theatrical release, “Conditioning” was released as a standalone video song, allowing audiences to revisit one of the film’s most memorable and unconventional sequences. Within the Rao Bahadur album, it offers a striking contrast to songs like “Desa Sanchari” and “O Sundari.” While those tracks explore different emotional spaces, “Conditioning” stands apart as a narrative-driven composition that advances the story while examining the influence of legacy, identity, and power.
