Agathiyan sir has portrayed the human relationships in a beautiful way with interesting twists and turns". Deva signed to score the music and also appeared in a guest role in the film. The film had five songs including a semi-classical dance which will portray Tamil tradition.

The film score and the soundtrack were composed by Deva. The soundtrack, released on 18 March 2005, features 6 tracks with lyrics written by Agathiyan.[5][6]
The film received above average reviews. Indiaglitz.com said "Though not on the levels of his Kadhal Kottai or Gokulathil Seethai, all credit to Agathiyan for giving an engrossing movie with a less known star cast".[7] S. R. Ashok Kumar of The Hindu said "The first half keeps the viewers engrossed. It is only in the latter part that confusion shows up" but he praised the lead pair "Nanda makes good use of the scope the film offers.
