The music of the film was composed by R. Sudarsanam, while the lyrics were penned by Kannadasan, Kothamangalam Subbu, Ku. Ma. Balasubramaniam, M. K. Athmanathan and T. K. Sundara Vathiyar. For the song "Arugil Vanthaal", Kannadasan came up with 56 or 58 pallavis, of which eight were finalised. The song "Aadatha Manamum" is set in the Carnatic raga known as Gourimanohari. For the song "Ammavum Neeye", the makers were not satisfied with any of the tunes composed by Sudarsanam, when violinist Chengalvarayan composed the tune of "Ammavum Neeye" in his violin, Sudharshan then created a complete tune out of it. The soundtrack received positive response, with the number "Ammavum Neeye" being singled out for praise.
