Composer Harikrishna and Yogaraj Bhat seem to be having a great time crooning Budu buduke… a simple, street-smart song. Soundharya samara starts off with an uncredited lady’s classical Panthuvarali singing and continues in semi-classical format, with Sonu Nigam acing the rendition – it moves off Panthuvarali only later, very oddly. Shachina Heggar’s breezy Hedarabyadre is considerably modern and is pleasantly tuneful. The composer’s wife Vani gets the soundtrack’s best, Bere yaro – an ambient, haunting melody. The short Jinke bedareruvaga sounds sweet but fails to make a dent. Hari seems to reserve his experimental best for Yogaraj-associated films, as usual.
