The dialogues are signed by "Arignar" Anna, personally. The movie is built with the key elements of Hitchcock's, recurring theme of his cinema, "The man accused of a crime committed by another one, thrown in a pursuit, races to exonerate himself and find the real culprit".

Soundtrack

The music composed by T. R. Pappa. Lyrics by M. K. Athamanathan & Vaali. Playback singers are Seerkazhi Govindarajan, A. L. Raghavan, P. Leela, P. Suseela & S. Janaki.

Vaali wrote 2 songs for the first time to M. G.
