Soundtrack
The music was composed by A. T. Ummer and the lyrics were written by Bichu Thirumala. 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.
