This movie has music by Niru of Kalaaba Kaadhalan
fame, a Sri Lankan Tamil himself. The audio sales
of this movie have amazed everybody in the trade.
What's even more surprising is that the sales
are not just across the state but the world. The
reasons are not just the music but the lyrics
of one particular song “Ellorayum Ettri
Poga Kappal Varrumaa.” The song, about
the plight of refugees waiting for a ship to take
them to safer ground, has struck a chord with
the Sri Lankan Tamil refugees. They seem to identify
with the song at an emotional level, which has
contributed to its success. The lyrics are soul
stirring with the haunting musical score adding
to it. This movie revolves around a Sri Lankan
refugee and his travails in Rameswaram. Jeeva
sure knows how to stay in the news.
