The soundtrack was composed by Bharadwaj.[2] Bharadwaj later reused "Hoove Neenu" and "Premake Endu" as "Mazhaiyo Puyalo" for Tamil film Kalatpadai while "Nange Neenu Ista" was remade as "Unnai Enakku" for Kadhal Dot Com.
The film was released on 7 February 2003 alongside Border.[3]
A critic from Chitraloka.com wrote that "The film โNinendre Ishtaโ is a torturous film from the beginning. The scenes are so disjointed that it would leave an impression that the editor of this film has taken a long nap while using his scissors. Story by Thulasikumar has also reached the final stage in love story it seems".[4]
