Except "Kuzhaloodhum Kannanukku", all the songs were composed by M. S. Viswanathan and the arrangements, orchestration and background score were done by Ilaiyaraaja. The song "Vaa Vennila" is inspired from another Viswanathan composition "Vaan Meedhile" from the 1953 film *[Chandirani](/wiki/Chandirani "Chandirani")*. Ilaiyaraaja later used "Kuzhaloodum Kannanukku" in [Hindi](/wiki/Hindi "Hindi") as "Baatein Hawa Hain Saare" for *[Cheeni Kum](/wiki/Cheeni_Kum "Cheeni Kum")* (2007\). That song is set in Pahadi raga.


What inspired Ilaiyaraaja to compose 'Vaa Vennila'?
