Achu Rajamani composed the music for this film. The soundtrack consists of 7 songs and a piece of theme music whose lyrics were penned by Ramajogayya Sastry, Varikuppala Yadagiri Goud, Anantha Sreeram and Bhaskarabhatla. Manchu Manoj sang a "Devadas break up" song, which was released on 9 September 2014 along with its behind the scenes video.[2] It was a situational break up song for the climax when the heroine dumps the hero. Nageswara Reddy and Achu suggested he sing the song, which he accepted.[3] It received a viral response and Manoj dedicated it to all the girls who inspired him.[4] Chinmayi sang a song named "Padahaarellainaa" penned by Anantha Sreeram.[5]
At the end of June 2014, the makers planned to release the audio in August 2014.[6]
The soundtrack received positive reviews from critics. The Times of India called it "a record that will take you by surprise" and rated it 3.5 out of 5.[7] In contrast, Milliblog wrote "Karthik is fabulous in his two melodies, the bordering-on-Charukesi Pilla and the short, mellow Kallalo. The soundtrack’s highlight is Padahaarellainaa, which exploits Chinmayi’s fantastic vocals to great effect and layers many interesting sounds onto a dreamy, waltz’y melody. Barring these, this soundtrack is a step down from Achu’s recent form."[8] The soundtrack was a chart-topper and according to Trade experts, it garnered tremendous likes and has been shared in the social media extensively within hours of its official online release who called it a "viral darling".[9]
The film received an A certificate by Central Board of Film Certification due to the bold item track featuring Sunny Leone.[10]
