Music
This album contains seven songs composed by M. S. Viswanathan and T. K. Ramamurthy and written by Kaviarasu Kannadasan. M. S.

He made S. Janaki and P. B. Sreenivas to sing that song because they had a smooth kind of voice which matches the Hindustani Classical genre. The album was released under the label Saregama.
