Soundtrack
The songs and background score were composed by Devendranath Chatterjee, a Bengali composer. All the songs were superhits. The song "Akashe Batase" was reused from the original Telugu film which was itself plagiarized from a Malayalam song titled "Kannadi Koodum Kootti" in the film Pranayavarnangal, sung by singers K. J. Yesudas and K. S. Chithra. It is composed by South Indian Music Director Vidyasagar. Whereas "Chupi Chupi Kichu Kotha" is reused from Telugu song "Kita Kita Thalupulu" (sung by K. S. Chitra) and "Moner Majhe Tumi" is reused from "Manasantha Nuvve" (sung by Hemachandra and Usha). Both of the songs are from the original film Manasantha Nuvve (2001).
