No discussion of the is complete without mentioning its soundtrack. Composed by the legendary Sirpy (who gave many hits in the 90s), the album is a timeless classic.

The film subtly critiques the patriarchal structure where women’s futures are traded like commodities. Kannamma has no say in her loss. Sivagami uses her father’s patriarchal power to claim a man. Neither woman has agency over their own romantic destiny.

Brought commanding presence as the strict father figure representing societal norms.
