The lyrics for the songs were written by Vairamuthu, Ponniyin Selvan, Palani Bharathi and Kalidasan. Critical reception. Indolink.com strongly gave a negative review stating that it's basically supporting actors beheading the lead actors and why do actor's son and daughter come to act in movies and criticized Suriya for his tedious face expressions. Suriya and Preetha vijayakumar could have just  watched how Prakash Raj and Raadhika emote during emotional scenes instead of participating as hero and heroine.
