Soundtrack
Soundtrack was composed by ViswanathanRamamoorthy. According to T. M. Soundararajan, when Viswanathan sang to him the tune of "Yaarantha Nilavu" that Soundararajan was supposed to sing, he was dumbstruck: "I was just too stunned and I wondered how I am going to sing it. It is impossible to sing like him".
Release
'Santhi' was originally scheduled for release on 10 April 1965, but was instead released 12 days later because the Censor Board originally wanted to give the film an "A" (adults only) certificate. The makers of the film thought this would prevent people from bringing their families to the theatres and it took some time for them to get the film a "U" (universal) certificate. The film was distributed by Sivaji Films.
