Cast

Soundtrack

The soundtrack was composed by Shankar–Ganesh while Ilaiyaraaja composed one song "Sangathil Padatha". The lyrics for all songs were written by Pulamaipithan.[3][4] The songs "Malare Enna" and "Kannil Vannam" are based on "Naliva Gulabi" and "Nanna Aase", respectively, from the original Kannada version of Auto Raja.

Song Singer(s) Composer
"Sangathil Padatha" Ilaiyaraaja, S. Janaki Ilaiyaraaja
"Malare Enna Kolam" S. P. Balasubrahmanyam Shankar–Ganesh
"Kanni Vannam" S. P. Balasubrahmanyam, Vani Jairam
"Oru Vargappuratchi" T. M. Soundararajan
"Kattilarai" S. Janaki
"Oosikkulle" Malaysia Vasudevan, chorus

Ilaiyaraaja re-used the tune "Sangathil Padatha" in Malayalam, Telugu (including its Tamil dubbed version), and Hindi films. The song was re-used in the Malayalam film Olangal at the request of Balu Mahendra as "Thumbi Vaa",[5] Mahendra's 1986 Telugu film Nireekshana as "Aakasham Eenatido" and in Kanne Kalaimaane, the dubbed version of Nireekshana, as "Neerveezhchi Thee Muttuthey".[6] Mahendra loved the tune so much that he insisted having the tune again in his 1996 Hindi film Aur Ek Prem Kahani in the song "Monday To Uth Kar". It was also used in the 2009 Hindi film Paa as "Gumm Summ Gumm".[7]

Reception
