The film features four tracks composed by Vidyasagar. He has composed a different kind of music while retaining his trademark style of melody. All the songs garnered fine appreciation from critics. Ee Kadalinu Kolu, the melodious track brings the feel of rain, storm, sea and love – all blending together, indicating the blossoming of love between the lovers in a monsoon. Kavil, with a Latin-American flavour, has been composed as a folk song recounting how the Portuguese had come and gone. Swargam Thurannu, with its divine feel, it's a Christmas night carol song. Mekkarayil, there is a change happening in the seashore. As the waves come and go, this song even though a fast paced, gives the feel of each line coming and going.[8]
