The film's score and soundtrack are composed by Ghibran along with lyricist Vairamuthu after their critically acclaimed album 'Vaagai Sooda Vaa'. Saregama south has secured the audio rights of Kuttipuli.[4] The soundtrack was released on 20 May 2013 and received positive reviews.[5] Ghibran stated that some of the music that he had recorded had been replaced in a few places and there was an additional song added. Ilaiyaraaja's "Pon Oviyam" song was used in its entirety in the film and Ghibran said "This was initially very, very emotionally disturbing as both the audiences and the media criticized me in this regard".[6]

Critical reception
The film received Mixed reviews from critics. Hindu wrote:"This film, itself, is something of a menagerie, a hodgepodge of "mass" elements. There's romance, fights, thaali-centered drama, drumstick-centered comedy, and — above all — unceasing amma sentiment".[9] Behindwoods wrote:"And if you are the type who would go gaga over mother sentiment, mindless violence, punch dialogues, Kuttipuli may work for you".[10] Indian express wrote:"Kutti Puli is probably the least exciting and engaging of Sasikumar starrers".[11]
