The original score and songs were composed by Alex Paul, with lyrics penned by Kaithapram and Santhosh Varma. The soundtrack received mixed responses.[citation needed]Sify's review was negative saying, "Alex Paul’s tunes are pretty ordinary". They also commented that "A song pops out every other moment, which is almost always a dream sequence."[3]
The movie was released on 12 November 2010, in thirty six theatres by Cinema Factory Release.
The film was met with nearly unanimous negative reviews. Several critics reviewed that the movie lacked a good script and the direction by the businn tycoon was worse than poor. Sify reviewed the film saying, "With a ridiculous plot that has been presented as a thriller, Dr.M M Ramachandran’s Holidays is an amateurish attempt, to say the least. The script, visuals, music and the performances doesn’t help in making things better either."[3]
