Soundtrack
The music was composed by T. Rajendar.[2] A critic wrote that "Of his nine songs ‘Vararu Maapillai’ is the best where the contents of the song, through the soulful rendering of S. P. Balasubramaniam, find meaning and expression while ‘Ponnumani Kannumani’ (SPB and chorus), ‘Pachai Valai Eduthu’ (Sindhu and chorus) and ‘Ettu Patti Kedkum Varai’ (Malaysia Vasudevan and Chitra) are the other melodious numbers".[3]
