Development

Paayum Puli is Vishal's second and Suseenthiran's third consecutive collaboration with Imman after Pandiya Naadu (2013) and Jeeva (2014). [1] By mid-March 2015, Imman completed composing two songs in the soundtrack. [2] Imman chose Diwakar, known for his work in Airtel Super Singer, to provide vocals for the song "Marudakkaari" whose composition was based on both the Valaji raga and the Malayamarutam raga. [3] In late June 2015, Imman revealed through Twitter that Divya Kumar and Shashaa Tirupati were chosen for a racy song whose lyrics were penned by Vairamuthu. [4] Armaan Malik recorded the song "Yaar Indha Muyalkutty" which he considered it as one of his difficult songs due to its tricky composition and his unfamiliarity with the Tamil language at first. [5]

Release

The album contained five tracks and the karaoke versions of three of them. [6] The song "Silukku Marame" was released as a single track on 3 August 2015 at Prasad Labs in Chennai. [7] [8] The soundtrack was released on 15 August 2015 at Sathyam Cinemas, Chennai, [9] with the presence of the film's cast and crew. [10] [11] The soundtrack of the Telugu version was released on 23 August 2015 at Hyderabad. [12] [13] The album covers of both the original as well as for the Telugu versions depict a still of the lead pair from the song "Silukku Marame". [6]

Reception

Choosing "Silukku Marame" and "Yaar Indha Muyalkutty" as the picks of the album, Siddharth K. of Sify rated the soundtrack 2.5 out of 5 and stated "On the whole, Paayum Puli is an album which has two tracks that work. The remaining tracks pass muster. One hopes the screenplay is racy enough & make up for the remaining tracks to grab the viewer's attention". [14] S. Saraswathi of Rediff.com noted that "music by D. Imman leaves a lot to be desired [with] mediocre songs disrupt the narration". [15] Anupama Subramanian of Deccan Chronicle noted "Music by Imman has plenty of masala during the first half." [16] Kirubhakar Purushothaman of India Today wrote "D Imman's background score makes an impact, but other songs have just used Kajal's dates." [17] M. Suganth of The Times of India wrote "Imman’s songs, despite being catchy and energetic, are bathroom breaks as they don’t fit in with the plot." [18]
