Development

[edit]

The film's soundtrack consisted of six songs curated by Prasad, who previously collaborated with Kalyan on Jalsa (2008) and also collaborating with Shankar for the first time.[1] Popular Telugu actor Kota Srinivasa Rao lent his vocals for a song in the film,[2] as did Kalyan for the song "Pilla".[1] There were rumours that the song called "O Bava" were circulating around the internet but Prasad denied that he had composed such a song for the film and "someone have might have uploaded it 'by mistake' as our song."[3]

Release

[edit]

On 15 April 2012, Kalyan, Ganesh, Shankar and few others visited Venkateswara Temple in Tirumala, where they released the first song "Dekho Dekho Gabbar Singh" and soon after, they went to Visakhapatnam and visited Simhachalam Temple to release the second song "Akasam Ammayaithe".[4] The remaining songs were released at the film's music launch event which was held at Shilpakala Vedika in Hyderabad on the very same day.[5][6] Although, Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan were reported to attend the event, only the former appeared as the chief guest.[7] The makers further unveiled a mobile application for fans to stream the event live on their mobile phones.[8]

Reception

[edit]

Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog commented that the soundtrack for the film is "notches below Thaman's Tamil equivalent (Osthe)".[9] In contrast, a critic from 123Telugu described the music as "a superb entertainer that has a nice mix of class and mass songs".[10] Radhika Rajamani of Rediff.com wrote "Devisprasad's music was in tune with the story".[11] Karthik Pasupulate of IndiaTimes called the music as a "standout" and "enhances the whole experience".[12] Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu said that the music adds "zing" to the film, further stating "The 70s hangover is hard to miss in the background score".[13]
