Cast[edit]

Soundtrack[edit]

Music by M. S. Baburaj. The song "Anjanakkannezhuthi" written by P. Bhaskaran and sung by S. Janaki was well received.[3][4] A writer called the film's verses "evocative".[5]

Reception[edit]

In a review of the film for The Hindu in 2012, B. Vijayakumar wrote that the film would be remembered "its excellent music and one of the best films in the popular ‘vadakkan paattu' genre".[6] Sathyan's portrayal of Othenan was one of his landmark performances.[7][8]
