Reception
Writing for The Times of India, Sruthi Raman reviewed "The album's smart soundtrack ends up evoking memories of Radhan's best work."[3] Janani K. of India Today wrote "Composer Radhan's background score is the soul of the film. When the theme music plays, you can't help but watch Dhruv waltz through the frame with much aplomb. The background music and the songs are almost the same with just a change in lyrics."[16]
