The music composed by Chakri, with lyrics written by Chandrabose. The soundtrack album was released under the label Aditya Music on 3 December 2012. The soundtrack received a mixed review from Cinecorn.com, receiving a rating of 2/5, stating Director YVS Chowdhary for the maximum part hasn’t disappointed musically despite the ‘been there, done that kind’ of feel it evokes but fails to deliver a knock out album. One feels the extra hard work being put for the album but it ends up hurting the album. Rey too is in similar vein and a lot depends on the choreography and placement of the songs in the film as well."
