[1][2] Anirudh described it as a "romantic album" being "close to his heart" as the script underlined the romance between the lead pair while also being set as an action comedy.

[5] As a unique promotional strategy, Anirudh planned to release all the songs from the album as individual singles, instead of opting for an audio launch.

[7] Within its individual release, all the songs topped the ITunes charts in India occupying the first five positions during early October 2015, and played on air at several radio stations.

[12] Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog reviewed it with the words "After a series of so-so soundtracks, Anirudh comes back with a bang in Naanum Rowdy Dhaan"[13] Malini Mannath of The New Indian Express stated that the music and background score "effectively captures the feel",[14] and S. Saraswathi of Rediff.com complimented the music being the "biggest strengths of the film".

[15] Manoj Kumar R. of The Indian Express stated that Anirudh's "lively background score coupled with chartbuster songs aids the director in achieving a farcical film about revenge".
