The playback was rendered by well-known singers from Punjab, namely Surjit Bindrakhiya, Gurdas Maan, Sarabjeet Kaur, Sukhshinder Shinda, Dilshad Akhtar, Hans Raj Hans, Sardool Sikander, Amar Noorie and others. The soundtrack of the movie was a chartbuster across the radio stations and countdown shows as no one ever imagined such an ensemble of singers in one single album. Gautam Vijay Films released the music separately as a music album called Sur Punjab De, meaning "The Vocals of Punjab".

Kachehari was liked by the audience across all classes and was a favourite among the critics, too. Kachehari was conferred with the National Award in the Best Film category in 1994.

Gautam Vijay Films is planning to recreate the magic with a remake of Kachehari. Gautam Tandon will be executing this project under the astute guidance of his father Vijay Tandon. The remake will be based in the summer of 2008 and would incorporate a contemporary look. It is on the storyboard and ad filmmaker Ron Singh has been roped in to direct it.
