The music was composed by Rajesh Ramanath.[4] Upendra wrote the lyrics and sung for a song in the film.[5] The other songs were written by M. N. Vyasa Rao, Sriranga, and Rudramurthy Shastry.[6]

Reception

A critic from The Hindu opined that "The director attempts to exercise his hold on the audience in a liberal fashion, undermining the latter's sensibility".[7] R G Vijayasarathy of Rediff.com gave the film a rating of one out of five stars and opined that "The ineptness of this film is, in short, such that even a popular star like Upendra can do nothing for its prospects at the box office".[8] A critic from Sify gave the film a verdict of below average and said that "This is a poorly made film with nothing new in the offering. Bizarre films with similar content seem to the order of the day in Kannada!"[9] The film was a box office failure.
