Reception
Rudraveena is considered one of the acclaimed works of Ilaiyaraaja in Telugu cinema.[8][9] K. Naresh Kumar of The Hans India commented that K. J. Yesudas and K. S. Chithra brought the song "Lalitha Priya Kamalam" to life "soothingly", adding that everything is right about the number in terms of instrumentation.[10] Pulagam Chinnarayana of Sakshi praised Ilaiyaraaja's varied instrumentation in the re-recording and found Sitaramasastri's lyrics "optimistic and poetic".[3] S. Subakeerthana of The Federal stated that in films like Sagara Sangamam, Sindhu Bhairavi and Rudraveena, "[Ilaiyaraaja] displayed his hold over Carnatic music by tackling some challenging ragas."[11]
Archana Nathan of Scroll.in described the soundtrack as "brilliant" and reflected on the central themes of the film, which is the tussle between father and son over Carnatic music, but felt that "Taralirada" dwells deeper into the said themes.[12] At the presentation of the Sri Raja-Lakshmi award in November 2006, Balasubrahmanyam performed the song "Taralirada" at Kalabharathi auditorium, Visakhapatnam.[13][14]
