Rathnavel is sent to a mental asylum, where he later hangs himself. This seems to be a true story which happened in Andhra Pradesh in the late 1990s, and Rathnavel's (name changed) family members are still there in Kakinada, but the movie ends with a happy note when we see that Ravi and Bhanu are still happily married and Bhanu is visibly pregnant. Director Vasanth teamed up with composer Yuvan Shankar Raja again for the musical score after creating "Poovellam Kettuppar" (1999). The soundtrack, of "Satham Podathey", featuring 5 tracks overall, was released on 14 June 2007 at the Kamarajar Arangam. A live concert was conducted by Yuvan Shankar Raja, playing all the songs on stage, whereas the five songs were released by five music directors each. The music got positive reviews, praising Yuvan Shankar Raja's work. He was, in particular, lauded for making singers Shankar Mahadevan, Shreya Ghoshal and Sudha Raghunathan render songs in different genres as they earlier never did, whereas especially Raghunathan's first-time rendition of a Hip-hop song called "Kadhal Periyadha", was seen as a "surprise item", cited as "bringing out the Britney Spears in her". Moreover, the album itself was described as a "pure musical delight", whilst composer Yuvan Shankar himself was cited to be rocking. "Pesugiren Pesugiren" and "O Indha Kaadhal" were topping the charts for some time. Neha Bhasin was later awarded the Reliance Mobile Vijay TV Award for Best Female Playback Singer for the song "Pesugiren Pesugiren"
