Soundtrack
The soundtrack was composed by Chakri.[6]
Reception
A critic from The Hindu wrote that the film was "As boring as sitting through a tax seminar".[7] A critic from Filmibeat wrote that "But for the over exposure of glamour of Charmy Kaur the film has nothing more to offer".[8] A critic from Full Hyderabad wrote that "Mayagadu is a stillborn. The movie was clearly released a decade too late, while zillions of movies meanwhile have milked dry the prototype of its plot".[9] A critic from Nowrunning wrote that "Like I mentioned before it was sheer craziness that was thrown on screen. The cast constitutes few brilliant actors, who were not just let down by the script but were made to look as fools in front of the camera".[10]
