The album generally positive reviews and responses from critics and audiences alike. The songs got popular among the masses immediately, witnessing grand sales and making it very big in audio markets, due to which even the stocks of audio CDs got over soon.[4] Becoming sensational hits very soon after its release, the songs were topping the Tamil music charts in the following weeks.[1][5][6] The album has reportedly become 2010's biggest selling audio and the top selling ringtone as well.[7] Moreover, as per the report of a national broadcasting agency, the song "Thuli Thuli" has become the first Tamil song to be featured in an all India index of the Top 20 songs on radio for the month of April 2010, indicating this song was played on all Indian FM radio stations more often than any other song in the history of Tamil film music ever.[7] Yuvan Shankar Raja's songs as well as his film score were also often cited to be the biggest plus and the backbone of the film besides playing an important role for the film's success.[8][9][10]
