Murali's changed attitude is put to the test and eventually they are able to truly be together. This story is captured in an iconic Malayalam song from the movie that reflects Murali's feelings. The lyrics show his regret and desire for forgiveness from his partner, comparing her to a lotus and vowing not to tarnish her purity with his actions. The meaning of lyrics . Darling, I am I admitting my mistakes with bursting in tears You are Lakshmi who made the mind to a lotus l Forgive me and forgive me . I won't touch your pious body with my hands which wrote stories of sin . I will not impure the your lips which is holy as a lotus flower with my kisses holy lips of lotus with my kisses. ## Soundtrack The music was composed by [A. T. Ummer](/source/A._T._Ummer).
