Soundtrack
[edit]The music composed by Ilayaraja.[1] Rediff wrote "In fact, that's something that's valid for the whole album -- in many ways, its trademark Ilayaraja of olden times, minus the musical feats that some of his classic usually contain. Perhaps that might be a direct result of the project itself; this collection works best if you're a diehard fan".[2] Milliblog called it "decent enough soundtrack".[3]
