The soundtracks were composed by K. V. Mahadevan and lyrics were by Kannadasan. The song "Nadarmudi" is based on Punnagavarali raga.[6] The song "Mannavan Vanthanadi" is based on Kalyani raga.[7][8] P. Susheela who sang the song recalled that she was initially nervous to sing this song because of Sivaji's presence at the studio. Noticing it, Sivaji Ganesan walked out of the studio and P. Susheela recorded the song.[9]
