---The music score for the film was composed by Ilaiyaraaja. The soundtrack features seven songs. The song, "Rakkama Kaiya Thattu", performed by S. P. Balasubramanyam and Swarnalatha was amongst the songs listed in a BBC World Top Ten music poll.[8] "Raakkamma" song was copied by Anand-Milind as "Tun Tun Tara" in the film Bol Radha Bol. Controversially, it was also featured in the 2012 Bollywood film Agent Vinod, and Lahari took "legal action" against the producer of the film Saif Ali Khan, who used the song without permission.[9][10]
