The music for this movie was composed by M. M. Keeravani. This album involved the voices of S. P. Balasubrahmanyam, K. S. Chithra, S. P. Sailaja and Pallavi. All tracks were huge hits, especially the song "Seetamma Andalu" (by S. P. Balasubrahmanyam, Chithra & Sailaja), it was expressively sung by Sailaja, which fetched her first Nandi Award. Lyrics were written by Veturi and Sitarama Sastry. Even Keeravani won a Filmfare Award for best music direction. Keeravani used Chithra's voice for the character Sandhya in the picture, and Sailaja's voice for Amani (which needed a folky touch) and Pallavi's voice was used to provide a Hollywood tinge of background music. The song "Narudu Bratuku Nartana" sung by S. P. Balasubrahmanyam involved the hit track of Ilaiyaraaja's musical Sagara Sangamam and that track involved 2 tracks of this picture itself (Chiranjeevi Soubhagyavathi and Seethamma Andalu).
