Soundtrack
The songs were composed by Ilaiyaraaja. The song "Manja Podi" is a slower version of the song "Mata Rani Mounamidi" from the Telugu film Maharshi (1987). It is set to the raga Keeravani.

Reception
The Indian Express wrote that Gangai Amaran "has paced the film well and the drama keeps building up". Jayamanmadhan (a duo) of Kalki praised the performances of Chandrasekhar and Silk Smitha, and Ilaiyaraaja's music but panned the humour of Senthil, S. S. Chandran and Moorthy and concluded saying Gangai Amaran has mastered the trick of making a film neatly without spending too much and without pomp but a little more knitting would have taken a little more.
