Soundtrack

The music was composed by Rajan–Nagendra, with lyrics by Chi. Udaya Shankar. All the songs composed for the film were received extremely well and considered evergreen songs. Rajan-Nagendra reused the tune of Olida Jeeva for the 1986 Telugu movie Rendu Rella Aaru as Viraha Veena. That song is based on Hamsanandi raga.
