Reception

Critic based at Deccan Chronicle summarised that "the soundtrack is filled with a lively Caribbean music". [4] Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog complimented "Gopi in his elements, as usual". [5] Sowmya Rajendran of The News Minute felt that Gopi Sundar's music "captured the energy of the lively characters and its stories". [6]

A critic from The Indian Express described the song "Maangalyam" sets the tone for the film with the introduction of the main characters and the story. [7] Singer Divya S. Menon, who performed "Maangalyam" with Vijay Yesudas and Sachin Warrier, emerged breakthrough and later croon for several Malayalam songs. [8]

Plagiarism issues

Despite the critical reception of the soundtrack, Sundar was criticised for plaigiarising some of the tunes for his film. [9] In September 2014, Canadian musician Bryan Adams, whom Sundar claimed as his inspiration, sued him for copyright violation as the song "Namma Ooru Bengaluru" had a strong resemblance to his song "Summer of '69" from the 1984 album Reckless. [10] Sundar defended that he only adapted the guitar notes from that song while the melody was different. He further admitted, he used to listen to "Summer of '69" in his early days and with the admiration he had for Adams, he decided to adapt the same guitar notes for "Namma Ooru Bengaluru". [11] [12]
