Besides writing the story, Chaduranga also wrote the dialogues for the film and won Karnataka State Film Award for the year 1979 for this story. The soundtrack and original score composed by Vijaya Bhaskar was widely acclaimed and appreciated. Produced by Gopal - Lakshman duo, the film fetched the Karnataka State Film Award for Best Film award for the same year. The film was screened twice at the IFFI Retrospect - once in 1992 and once again in 2019 on the occasion of the 50th year of IFFI.[4] In a small drama sequence, Rajkumar appears as Gautama Buddha and Leelavathi as Kisa Gotami.
The songs composed by Vijaya Bhaskar and sung by P. B. Sreenivas and P. Susheela found wide reach and are considered one of the best soundtracks.[5] Rajkumar "humming" the entire lyrics of Doniyolage Neenu [6] in a sequence in the movie remains the only instance of him "singing" in the music direction of Vijaya Bhaskar.[7]
