The music of Yaaradi Nee Mohini was scored by Yuvan Shankar Raja, who had composed the music for the original film as well. The first release of the soundtrack, released on 9 February 2008, contained five tracks, which were all retained from the original version with the song "Manasa Manninchamma" missing initially. Later a version of "Paalakattu Pakkathile" from Vietnam Veedu (1970) remixed by D. Imman was recorded and included in the film;[7] the producers decided to bring out a second release. This release features 16 tracks, including the earlier released five songs, two more versions of the song "Engeyo Paartha" (sung by Karthik and Naveen, respectively), two more remixes of the song "Paalakattu Pakkathile" (remixed by Dharan), the Tamil version of "Manasa Manninchamma", "Penne Ennai Kodu", the song "The Person Is The Looser" [sic], which runs during the opening credits apart from four "film score tracks". The lyrics were provided by Na. Muthukumar.
Mithran Jawahar's Yaaradi Nee Mohini follows the Tamil filmmakers' current obsession with borrowing titles from old hit songs. Here, the director has used the opening line of the old hit Yaaradi Nee Mohini from the 1958 Shivaji Ganesan-Padmini starrer Uthama Puthiran (a film based on Alexander Dumas's classic novel, The Man in the Iron Mask).
