Music

The music composed by Ilaiyaraaja.^[3] The most memorable song of this movie was the track "Ennama Kannu". The song was later remixed in the film Thiruvilayadal Arambam (2006), which starred Rajinikanth's son-in-law Dhanush, Shriya Saran & Prakash Raj.^[4] The film however has a different story. The song inspired a 2000 film of same name also starring Sathyaraj.^[5]

Release

Mr Bharath got terrific openings but could not sustain at box office. The film was appreciated for Rajini's style of tackling Sathyaraj but the critics gave it a thumbs down for tampering the original script of Trishul and miscasting of Sathyaraj and S. Ve. Sekar in the roles of Sanjeev Kumar and Shashi Kapoor. Rajini's stardom saved the film from becoming flop to making it 100 day run in few centres.^[6]
