Soundtrack

The music was composed by Raveendran.[4][5] He was chosen as the composer after Ambika was listening to one of his compositions on her Walkman, catching the attention of Balu Anand.[3] The song "Yezhisai Geethame" was adapted from Raveendran's own composition "Ezhu Swarangalum" from the Malayalam film Chiriyo Chiri (1982) while "Paadi Azhaithen" was adapted from his other composition "Thenum Vayambum" from the Malayalam film Thenum Vayambum (1981).[citation needed]
