Production edit

The music was composed by Vandemataram Srinivas and features eight songs.[4] The lyrics were written by Suddala Ashok Teja and Dasari Narayana Rao.[5] The songs were released under the Aditya Music audio label.[6]

Release edit
Prior to the release of the film, Annapurna Studios sent a complaint to Dasari Narayana Rao saying that he owned money to them from the failure of Ramanaidu Studios' Prema Mandiram (1981) starring Akkineni Nageswara Rao and had to pay it before Sammakka Sarakka (2000) could release. D. Suresh Babu intervened and sent the needed dues to Annapurna Studios.[7]

Jeevi of Idlebrain.com wrote that "If you like 'Osey Ramulamma' and if you want to watch the badly executed 'Osey Ramulamma', watch this film!"[3]
