The retained songs from the original movie were: College Kurrodu [4] was the retained version of College Kumar.[5] O Gulabi [6] was the retained version of O Gulaabiye.[7] Bullemma [8] was the retained version of Mehabooba.[9] While the other song Om Brahmanda [10] which comes in the place of Hey Dinakara retained only the opening Sanskrit verse from the original version [11] and was followed by the tune of another Kannada song by Hamsalekha - Eke Heegaytho [12] from the 1988 Kannada movie Anjada Gandu.
