The audio launch was held in a grand manner in Chancery Hotel, Bengaluru on 2 June 2012. While the music composer made an appearance at the event, the cast and crew of the film, veteran actor Ambareesh, top composers and lyricists of the Kannada film industry were also present at the occasion. Singers Vijay Prakash, Swetha Mohan and Naresh Iyer each performed one song live at the event. The audio rights were acquired by Samartha Ventures' label Ashwini Media Networks. The soundtrack album received generally positive reviews from critics. Rahman was nominated for the Best Music Director category in the 2nd SIIMA Awards. The soundtrack album received positive critical reception. "MusicAloud" commented that the soundtrack as usual is a great piece from Rahman, particularly praising the songs "Laali Laali Amma", "Nannede Shruthiyalli", "Sarigama Sangamave" and "Neene Ee Kanna", stating that the tunes were unique for Kannada soundtracks generally, thus giving it a rating 9 out of 10. "Indiaglitz" stated that it is a great album, yet it is missing some core ingredients of Kannada film songs, especially noting the uniqueness of the song "Sanchari Manasu", which lacks the Sandalwood touch of music, giving the album a rating of 3.5 out of 5. "OneIndia" stated, "A R Rahman has given a good album, which might not go well with the masses. Especially, for those who are used to the Bhat and Harikrishna's kind of music, the album might just appear to be very minor, as the strength of the album is classical or slow songs. In fact, it has gone against the current trend. However, the songs Nannede Shruthiyalli, Sarigama Sangamave and Neene Ee Kanna are very nice and pleasant to hear."
