Filming
"Cheluveye Ninne Nodalu" was launched on 11 December 2008 at the Durga Parameswari temple in Bangalore[2] and shooting was completed on 18 March 2010.[3]
V. Harikrishna scored the film's background score and the soundtrack. The soundtrack album consists of eight tracks.[4] Lyrics for the tracks were written by V. Nagendra Prasad, Nagathihalli Chandrashekhar, S. Narayan and Yogaraj Bhat. A remixed version of the song "Huttidare Kannada" from the film Aakasmika (1993) was used in the film. The album was released on 30 November 2009 [5] and was distributed in by Anand Audio. A Video CD was distributed along with the audio CD of the album that contained a 55-minute video of the film's making.[6]
A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3.5 out of 5 stars and says "While Sonal is simply superb, Haripriya is equally good. Dattanna, Prem, Tarun, Venkatesh Prasad have done justice to their roles. Kabir Lal's camera work is pleasing to the eyes. V Harikrishna walks away with all honours for his brilliant musical work. Chinthan, dialogue writer, needs special mention for his good work. A movie for the family audience".[7] B S Srivani from Deccan Herald wrote "Dialogues by Chintan, cinematography by Kabir Lal and music by V Harikrishna all complement the director's vision, providing ample tour-time for the intrepid travellers. "Cheluveye..." is Shivanna's 98th release. The film is a must watch, not only for his fans but also families and armchair tourists".[8]
