The film's subject [[Aron Ralston]]'s favourite band, [[Phish]], is mentioned in the film. During production, Boyle asked Ralston how Phish lyrics could be included in the film.

==Development==
Rahman collaborated with Danny Boyle for the second time. Their previous association, ''Slumdog Millionaire'' was a great critical and commercial success to Rahman, who was described by ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' magazine as India's most prominent movie songwriter, in 2005.<ref>[[Richard Corliss|Corliss, Richard]].

Rahman says that he was able to complete the score within a short period of three to four weeks.<ref name="interview"/> After completing the score, when asked about the scoring experience and challenges, Rahman said:
{{quote|"The idea was not to make the music sad or self-pitying at all. The idea was to go to Aron's frame of mind where he was happy and confident.

Sarah Kurchak of [[ChartAttack]] reviewed the music saying "There's something about the way Danny Boyle uses popular music in his films that's really exciting for anyone who genuinely cares about the medium. Plenty of directors are good with a score, and he's no slouch in that department, but the use of songs is a different beast. In both score and songs, Boyle seems to have an inherent ability to understand the moods and emotions music can inspire in people and uses it to augment his storytelling."<ref name="TIFF">{{cite web

The soundtrack was rated five out of five in the review by Danny Graydon of ''[[Empire (magazine)|Empire]]'' magazine. His review reads: "Following their Oscar-winning collaboration on ''Slumdog Millionaire'', A. R. Rahman provides Danny Boyle’s tale of a mountaineer in dire straits with an affecting core of slow-burn, reflective cues that ultimately penetrate in a big way, supported by a typically eclectic array of exterior tracks from the likes of Free Blood, Bill Withers and, most effectively, Sigur Rós. Rahman’s nine cues are anchored on acoustic guitar and generate a suitably meditative tone, augmented by ethnic pipes (Acid Darbari) and ethereal vocals (R. I. P.). Rahman’s collaboration with singer Dido, [[If I Rise]], closes proceedings with a cathartic and quietly optimistic tone which almost prompts a tear."<ref name="Empire">{{cite magazine|url=http://www.empireonline.com/reviews/reviewcomplete.asp?SID=10264|title=Review of 127 Hours|author=Danny Graydon|magazine=[[Empire (magazine)|Empire]]|date=17 January 2011|access-date=18 January 2011}}</ref>

Margaret Wappler, in the review published in ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'', said that "In his last movie, ''Slumdog Millionaire'', director Danny Boyle showed a sophisticated sense of how music and image can intertwine and intensify each other. With his latest, ''127 Hours'', he proves his skill again, reenlisting composer A.R. Rahman, who won two Academy Awards for his racing, kinetic score to Boyle's violent fairy tale set in Mumbai, India."<ref name="LATreview">{{cite news |author=Margaret Wappler|title=Soundtrack review: A.R.

Daniel Schweiger of ''Film Music Magazine'' said that "Danny Boyle and A.R. Rahman are going for a far more interior moment of transcendence, one that tells us the often-awful fight for life is more than worth it- especially in this haunting fever dream that take a filmmaker and musician to new heights while pondering their way out of a man's darkest hours."<ref name="Film Music Magazine">{{cite web|author=Daniel Schweiger |title=CD Review: 127 Hours – Original Soundtrack |url=http://www.filmmusicmag.com/?p=6418 |publisher=Film Music Magazine |date=1 November 2010 |access-date=16 January 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101230211751/http://www.filmmusicmag.com/?p=6418 |archive-date=30 December 2010 |url-status=live}}</ref>

The review published by Christian Clemmensen at [[Filmtracks.com|Filmtracks]] commented that "Whether or not you can stomach this film or its equally challenging album, the music serves as even more evidence that the diversity of Rahman's talents can compete favourably in an otherwise arguably stale film scoring environment in the United States."<ref name="Filmtracks">{{cite web |title=Editorial Review: 127 Hours |url=http://www.filmtracks.com/titles/127_hours.html |publisher=Filmtracks|date=18 November 2010|access-date=16 January 2011}}</ref>

Jonathan Broxton of Movie Music UK gave a favourable review and called the score an "unconventional one". He also praised Rahman for his ability to score in multiple genres.<ref name="Movie Music UK">{{cite web|url=http://moviemusicuk.us/2010/11/07/127-hours-a-r-rahman/ |title=127 HOURS – A.R.

Director [[Shekhar Kapur]], after a special screening of the movie, commented through Twitter that "Rahman's score adds depth to Danny Boyle's deft and energetic direction in ''127 hours''.
