The music was composed by M. M. Srilekha and the lyrics were written by Bhaskarabhatla. An audio launch was held on 7 January 200 in Hyderabad.^[2]

Jeevi of Idlebrain.com rated the film 2+1⁄2 out of 5 and wrote that "Director KS Nageswara Rao exhibited expertise in action sequences. Other than that he could not succeed in holding interest element in narration and maintaining grip on the proceedings on the film".^[3] A critic from Indiaglitz wrote that "The hero just hams or gapes at the camera. The heroines just lark around in outfits that a kindergarten student would have difficulty getting in. The music, by Sri Lekha, passes muster. But the camerawork is patchy. Nageshwara Rao's direction is nondescript".^[4] Full Hyderabad wrote that "The film has an A certificate. Watch it when you become an adult".^[5]
