Ilayaraaja composed the music for the soundtracks with lyrics written by Chi. Udaya Shankar and R. N. Jayagopal.[2] For the song ""Yaarigagi Aata", Ilaiyaraaja said the "brief demanded a ‘cabaret song’, but he did not want it to sound predictable. He showed how he had used an Indian raga [..], and made the beat choppy and modern".[3] This song was set in Puriya Dhanashree raga.[4] According to Deepa Ganesh of The Hindu wrote "Extremely modern and unconventional in its sensibility, the song is an outstanding rendition by S. Janaki. Ilayaraja lays out a brilliant rhythm pattern that keeps changing its contours".[4]
