The other famous songs include "Sundari, oho Sundari..", "Neevena nanu pilichinadi?..", "Lahiri lahiri lahirilo.." and ofcourse "Aha na pelli anta..".
Great cinematographer Marcus Bartley was the best thing to happen for Telugu films. His marvelous camera work is the highlight of this film. In Black and White films, one needs to set proper lighting to get the depth. And Marcus’s lighting is very unique. And also some of the trick photography that he had done for this film is outstanding.
