Reviews

A. Kameshwari of Indian Express wrote that "Allu Arjun’s films are more than just a theatre experience. For his fans, his films are a reason to celebrate because they are a true blend of what is known as Tollywood masala. Now, the fans are patiently waiting for his upcoming film DJ-Duvvada Jagannadham. However, before the release, the makers of the film have treated fans with its jukebox. Over the years, the one thing Tollywood fans are assured about is the fact that when Allu Arjun and Devi Sri Prasad aka DSP, come together the album has to be something that will simply blow your mind, and DJ-Duvvada Jaggannadham’s jukebox stands up to all kinds of expectations Allu Arjun’s fans must have had from the hit duo."[21]

123Telugu stated about the album that "One can easily say that DJ is definitely not a better album than Allu Arjun’s previous audio Sarrainodu. Having said that, Devi Sri Prasad makes sure that he gives some hit songs which suit every situation in the film. There is something for everyone and DSP’s tracks will grow on you slowly. Badilo Vadilo, Box Baddalaipoye and Mecchuko are our picks and will be even bigger hits once the film releases."[22] Another reviewer from Idlebrain.com wrote that "Music by Devi Sri Prasad is good and my favorite song on screen is Asmaika. Mass songs (Box Baddalaipoddi and Seeti Maar) were also pictured well."[23]

Shekhar H Hooli of International Business Times stated "The songs of DJ aka Duvvada Jagannadham starring Allu Arjun and Pooja Hegde, has received superb response from audience, who say all the tracks are set to be chartbusters. DJ aka Duvvada Jagannadham has five songs and Devi Sri Prasad has composed music for the movie. Aditya Music, who holds its audio rights, released the videos of couple songs last week and received a wonderful response with the views count crossing 10 million in couple of days. They also unleashed the teaser of the music video of one of the songs, which was also superhit."[24]

Controversy

The brahmin community in Telangana filed a complaint against the makers of the film, as the lyrics of the song "Gudilo Badilo Madilo Vodilo" allegedly showcased them in a bad way, also seeking a ban on the movie.[25]
