Reception

T. Maruthi Acharya of India Today wrote that Ceciroleo's music "works well within the film’s tone" and added that "the songs translate neatly onto the screen, and the background score supports the comedy and emotional beats without overpowering them". [15] Sasidhar Adivi of Filmfare called Ceciroleo's music as a major highlight where, "songs like Meesala Pilla and Hook Step are catchy earworms, while the background score adds much-needed punch to the action sequences." [16] Suresh Kavirayani of The New Indian Express admitted that the songs, "Meesala Pilla" and "Sasirekha" were "catchy and well picturised" and the "Mega Victory Mass Song" is "routine but effective for fans". [17] Jalapathy Gudelli of Telugucinema.com wrote "The songs, though, are catchy and serve their purpose." [18]
