Dookudu is the soundtrack to the 2011 film of the same name composed by S. Thaman with lyrics written by Ramajogayya Sastry, Viswa and Bhaskarabhatla Ravi Kumar.

The album was met with mixed response from critics, but fetched Thaman his maiden Filmfare Award for Best Music Director – Telugu.

The film marked Thaman's maiden collaboration with Babu and Vaitla; he also replaced the latter's usual music composer Devi Sri Prasad as he could not accommodate the dates for the project.

[9] Pavithra Srinivasan of Rediff.com felt that Thaman's score is "a lot of sound and fury" but only "Nee Dookudu" and "Guruvaram" "linger in one's memory for a while".

[15] Critic based at The New Indian Express wrote "Thaman’s music is justified with artistic picturization of songs, especially the title track, 'Dethadi Dethadi' and 'Poovai Poovai' [...] his background elevated most of the scenes when necessary.
