Music Highlights: There are five songs in the album. The opening song, ‘Poove Poove,’ is a wonderful rendition by Harish Raghavendra and Nimmi. This soft, romantic number is written by Pavalur Ezhilvanan. ‘Quattarukku Mattervenum,’ written by Thendral Senthil and sung by Mukesh and Chinna Ponnu, is a high-on-energy, mass number. ‘Chinna Vennila’ is a melodious track by the same lyricist and sung by Prasanna and Amrutha. Viveka has written ‘Unnile Paadhi Naan,’ a touching number that comes twice in the album. While Vijay Yesudas and Nimmi render it the first time, it has another version by the veteran S.P. Balasubramaniam.
