Reception
Milliblog's music review of Veyilodu Vilayadu was mixed; one of the songs, Kaattukadanga puyalena was described to be 'stunningly boring and horrendously sung' although Dhoorathil unnaikkaanum was said to be the only one that works. This soundtrack hasn't accomplished to give Karthik Raja the comeback he achieved in Telugu.'[10] The soundtrack consists of 5 songs.[11]
