123telugu wrote that, "Radhan has composed the songs, and they are just about okay. But the BGM, composed by Kapil Kumar, is terrific."[12] With a similar opinion, M9 stated, "However, Radhan’s songs are weak here. Nothing sticks. Kapil Kumar J’s background score is impactful and elevates the proceedings in the second half."[13]
