The music was composed by Sadhu Kokila. The film notably didn't feature the "Manmadha Raasa" song from the original, which was already reused by Sadhu Kokila in Suntaragaali (2003). Nonetheless, the song "Mast Kudure" was partially inspired by that song. The song "Ammani Ammani" is based on "Kannamma Kannamma" from Tamil film Dum (2003). The songs "Chanda Kanthare" and "Ninna Nodidetige" were based on "Azhaga Irukkanga" and "Unnai Paartha Piragu" from Thiruda Thirudi.

Reception
R. G. Vijayasarathy of IANS wrote, "With the main attractive point missing out in the film,Sakha Sakhi falls flat down the ground with a bad handling of the project and poor taste of the director and its below the belt dialogues" and added that "Sadhu Kokila's comedy is in poor taste. His music is also just ordinary". A critic from Rediff.com wrote that "Chaya Singh in the lead is Saka Saki's only redeeming feature. Sunil Rao tries to look natural as a street smart boy, but his body language and emoting fail to satisfy. An eminently forgettable film".
Box office
The film was a box office failure, which was attributed to the lack of publicity and the "Manmadha Raasa" song. Regarding the film's failure, Chaya Singh said she was not bothered about her image and how she is focusing on the quality of films and not the quantity.
