Soundtrack
The music was composed by A. T. Ummer and the lyrics were written by Bichu Thirumala.[5] The song "Thushaarabindukkale" was written by Bichu Thirumala for his play Dandakaranyam, and included in Aalinganam because Sasi liked it; though Kannur Rajan composed that song, he was not credited for it.[6]
