Themes
C. R. W. David, in the book Cinema as Medium of Communication in Tamil Nadu, compared Mayangukiral Oru Maadhu to Avalum Penn Thaane (1974) because in both films, the lead female has "fallen" in her past.[6]
Soundtrack
The music was composed by Vijaya Bhaskar.[7] The song "Samsaram Enbathu Veenai" reflects the expectations of a husband about his wife, with the lyrics "Samsaram enbathu veenai, santhosam enbathu ragam, salanangal athil illai" (wife is a veena, happiness is the raga, there are no discordant notes in it).[8]
