Cast
Soundtrack
This film music was composed and written by Hamsalekha. A breathless song "Onde Usiranthe" was recorded in the voices of Rajesh Krishnan and K. S. Chitra which was widely appreciated. Sonu Nigam also sang his second number in Kannada whose soundtrack was inspired by Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" from the soundtrack of the film 'Titanic' (1997). The album consists of seven tracks.
Reception
Srikanth Srinivasa of 'Deccan Herald' called the film a "tear-jerker mould with a light and clean social entertainer." Of the acting performances, he wrote, "Ramesh fits the bill perfectly especially after shedding oodles of adipose. Ramesh has added another dimension to his acting capability. Ramkumar has definitely matured as an actor. Anu Prabhakar is a sweet delight to watch. Sharan seems to have a natural flair for comedy and his dialogues are timed well and so does Michael. Vinod Raj impresses in his brief sojourn. Shashi Kumar looks out of place but has a role to play in the end."
