Soundtrack[edit]

The music of the film was composed by Rajan–Nagendra with lyrics by Chi. Udaya Shankar.[6] All the songs composed for the film were received extremely well. The song "Thai Thai Bangari" was remixed in Ashoka (2003) starring Shivarajkumar. Rajan-Nagendra reused the tune of Nagunagutha Nee Baruve [7] for the 1979 Telugu movie Sommokadidhi Sokokadidhi as Tholivalapu Tondarulu.[8]
