The film features four tracks composed by [[Vidyasagar (Composer)|Vidyasagar]]. He has composed a different kind of music while retaining his trademark style of melody. All the songs garnered fine appreciation from critics. ''Ee Kadalinu Kolu'', the melodious track brings the feel of rain, storm, sea and love – all blending together, indicating the blossoming of love between the lovers in a monsoon. ''Kavil'', with a Latin-American flavour, has been composed as a folk song recounting how the [[Portugal|Portuguese]] had come and gone. ''Swargam Thurannu'', with its divine feel, it's a Christmas night carol song. ''Mekkarayil'', there is a change happening in the seashore. As the waves come and go, this song even though a fast-paced, gives the feel of each line coming and going.<ref>{{cite news|title=Vidyasagar is here again with Mariyam Mukku songs|url=http://www.kaumudi.com/innerpage1.php?newsid=59932|agency=[[Kerala Kaumudi|Kaumudi]]|date=10 January 2015}}</ref>

== Reception ==
The film received generally negative reviews from critics and ended as a below average grosser at the [[Kerala]] box office. It was an anticipated movie which is the directorial debut of scriptwriter James Albert known for scripting popular Malayalam films. But here, the weak screenplay was the major drawback. The script failed to narrate the theme, which was a blend of [[Realism (arts)|realism]] and [[Fantasy film|fantasy]]. The plot which develops with the feel of a love story, suddenly takes a complete track change into a fantasy drama. The unbalanced plot left the audience totally clueless about the total intention of the movie.<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://www.filmibeat.com/malayalam/news/2015/what-is-wrong-with-fahadh-faasils-mariyam-mukku-171716.html|title = What Is Wrong With Fahadh Faasil's Mariyam Mukku?|date = 26 January 2015|accessdate = |website = |publisher = Filmibeat.com|last = Akhila Menon}}</ref>
