The movie's music by Yuvan Shankar Raja was received well and now has now created a record as well.

The Rowdy Baby number from the movie, had been a hit right from the time the audio was released, and with the release of the movie, with Sai Pallavi rocking the dance floor with her terrific moves, totally overshadowing Dhanush, had its video song released on YouTube on Wednesday, and has created several massive records.

Within the first 24 hours of release, the song went on to achieve 7 million views, making it the most viewed song on YouTube within 24 hours and garnered a massive 288K likes, making it the most liked video song within first 24 hours of release. Earlier, Rowdy Baby lyrical video had achieved 50 million views as well. The stupendous success of Rowdy Baby can be equally attributed to Yuvan for his peppy tune, Prabhu Deva for his impressive choreography, and Sai Pallavi and Dhanush setting screens on fire with their dance.
