Cast






Soundtrack


Soundtrack was composed by Ilaiyaraaja. Lyrics were by Gangai Amaran. Anand was the first Tamil film since the 1950s where Lata Mangeshkar sang; she performed without taking remuneration out of respect for Prabhu's father Sivaji Ganesan. The song "I Want To Tell You Something" is unique in Tamil cinema as the chorus is entirely in English. The song "Aararo Aararo" is set in the raga Kalyani, and "Ola Kudisaiyile" is set to Shivaranjani.




Reception


The Indian Express wrote, "As both lovers belong to the upper class, the décor of the interiors is modish. G.OR. Nathan's photography accentuates this effect: the soft and diffuse lighting gives the film a classy texture". Jayamanmadhan of Kalki gave the film a mixed review panning, Prabhu's acting, humour and Ilaiyaraaja's background score but praised his songs and Radha's acting and concluded saying its neither too great nor its lip smacking.
