Ilaiyaraaja's music
Apart from the story, direction, and performances, it's Ilaiyaraaja's music that added power to the film. The legendary composer delivered music of different emotions and made the film speak through his music rather than words. Especially the song 'Vanam Thottu Pona' that appears during Sivaji Ganesan's death scene in the film will make you emotional and get connected deeply to the film.
