[2] The film's audio launch was held at the Taj Deccan in Hyderabad on 28 May 2014, [3] with the cast and crew in attendance, along with Varun Sandesh, Manchu Manoj, Sudheer Babu, Allari Naresh, Aadi Saikumar and director Sudheer Varma felicitating the event. [4] [5] The Tamil version of the soundtrack was launched at the Sathyam Cinemas in Chennai on 18 June 2014, which saw the attendance of directors Mohan Raja, N. Lingusamy, producer Kalaipuli S. Thanu amongst others. [6]

Critical reception

Reviewing the soundtrack, The Times of India wrote "All in all, Shekhar Chandra tunes are youthful and fresh. The tunes can easily generate interest among music lovers" and rated the album 3 out of 5. [7] Sify wrote "Sekhar Chandra has given decent background score for this maintaining the required tempo of the narration. Songs are not really needed in a thriller. Here it is such a waste." [8] Suresh Kaviyarani of Deccan Chronicle noted that: "[a] plus point of this film is the background music by Sekhar Chandra. The film has a few songs but no regular romantic ones." [9] Jeevi of Idlebrain.com added "Background music by Sekhar Chandra is good. But songs are wasted as there is no scope for songs in this thriller." [10] A reviewer from OTTPlay added "Shekhar Chandra’s background score is another asset to the film." [11]
