The Hundred-Foot Journey: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack album to the American comedy-drama film of the same name (based on the novel), directed by Lasse Hallström from a screenplay written by Steven Knight. A. R. Rahman composed the score for the film. Hollywood Records released the soundtrack on August 12, 2014.

In December 2013, a press release featured in The New York Times confirmed A. R. Rahman was scoring the film. The composer began scoring after the completion of filming, wherein he found the film pleasant.After seeing the first cut of the film, he took one and a half months to score it.He stated that the Indian part of the score featured the instruments sitar, sarod and santoor.According to him, a generic score wasn't the immediate requirement but he wanted to weave the screenplay into a themethat doesn't have a marked end or beginning.Thus, the score was organically mixed in a particular way, where the sound cues differentiate between Indian and French.The distinction was brought out dramatically through music when there is a war sort of sequence in the film where both the kitchens are working in parallel. Rahman stated that recording was seamlessly done as per requirement. He said the score has 'western classical music sensibilities'. The director and the composer worked together, communicating via Skype while Rahman was in Los Angeles finishing up Million Dollar Arm and Hallstrom was shooting the film in France.
