The film score and the soundtrack were composed by Pradeep Ravi. The soundtrack, released in 2000, features 5 tracks with lyrics written by Kamakodiyan and Bharathan.
Release
A reviewer of the film noted "some clichd, loosely etched, hastily put scenes here. If one has seen 'Baazigar', one would find most of the scenes in the film familiar. But considering that the actors and the technicians are debutants, they have done a fairly creditable job."
