Production

Osai marked the film debut of Shalini, though she began filming for Pillai Nila before.[3]

Soundtrack

Soundtrack was composed by Shankar–Ganesh.[4] [5] The song "Ek Pyaar Ka Nagma" from the original Hindi film was retained in this version.

Reception

Jayamanmadhan of Kalki praised the acting of actors but panned Anuradha's dance and Mohan-Nalini's romance and concluded if we forget these negatives, this is not osai (sound), it is isai (music).[6]
