Cast

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] Charulatha Mani identifies "Amuthe Tamizhe" as being set in Poorvikalyani,[6] although Carnatic musicologist Sundararaman claims it is set in Rasika Ranjani, a raga he identifies "Sangeethame" as being set in, although Charulatha Mani says it is in Rasikapriya.[7] This was the final film where the nadaswaram-playing brothers M. P. N. Sethuraman and Ponnuswamy performed.[8] [9]
