"Chandrabose Wrote Songs Without Taking a Single Rupee" – V.V. Vinayak
Recalling the early days of his own directorial blockbuster Aadi, blockbuster director V.V. Vinayak showered praise on the film's noble intentions and disciplined execution:
"Chandrabose called me and spoke passionately about this project. He told me that director Jai Gnana Prabha has mounted a sincere, hard-hitting film addressing the drug menace. Chandrabose loved the story so deeply that he penned all the songs without taking a single rupee in remuneration!
Hearing him speak with such conviction convinced me that this film carries genuine substance. Chandrabose penned the very first song for my debut film 'Aadi', and he has now written for Gnana Prabha’s debut venture as well. I wholeheartedly wish this film achieves a massive success on that same level."
— Director V.V. Vinayak
"Gave Me the Same Creative High as Rangasthalam" – Oscar Winner Chandrabose
Highlighting the philosophical depth and situational richness of the narrative, lyricist Chandrabose stated:

Five Soulful Tracks: Described his work on the album—featuring tracks like ‘Nyayam Cheyara Deva’, ‘Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitah’, ‘Arambham’, ‘Koduko Koduko’, and ‘Kaalam’ set to music by Mahaveer Elender—as one of his most satisfying career experiences since Rangasthalam.
-
The Core Conflict: "Within every human being lies both a noble soul and a dark side. The ideological clash between these two extremes forms the backbone of this story, and the director has translated that onto screen with raw conviction."
