Soundtrack

The soundtrack was composed by Ilaiyaraaja while the lyrics were written by Pulamaipithan.[3][4] The song "Vedham Nee" is set in the Carnatic raga known as Gaula.[5][6] Charulatha Mani identifies "Amuthe Tamizhe" as being set in Poorvikalyani,[7] although Carnatic musicologist Sundararaman claims it is set in Rasika Ranjani,[8] a raga he identifies "Sangeethame" as being set in,[9] although Charulatha Mani says it is in Rasikapriya.[10] This was the final film where the nadaswaram-playing brothers M. P. N. Sethuraman and Ponnuswamy performed.[11][12]
