The soundtrack album features 8 songs composed by D. Imman, featuring a theme music, male and female version of the title track and two [[karaoke]] versions of the songs. While all the song lyrics were written by [[Madhan Karky]], Mani Amudhavan penned both the male and female versions of the title track "10 Endrathukulla". [[Sony Music India|Sony Music]] acquired the audio rights of the film and subsequently for legal purchase as a soundtrack on digital music platform, [[iTunes]].

The first track "Vroom Vroom" is penned by Madhan Karky, and rendered by Santhosh Hariharan, with backing vocals by D. Imman. The song is termed as a racy bike ride with this eerie number supported well by thumping rhythm and amazing bass guitar. The vocal renders the tune with supreme confidence and mastery. Here is a James Bond from Tamil Nadu musically presented in style by Imman-which happened never before! One will be surprised to find Indian musical instruments like Sitar and Mrudangam effortlessly fusing in this mélange.

The male version of the title track "10 Endrathukulla" is rendered by [[Vishal Dadlani]], with rap portions by Emcee Jesz. Experimentation gets a new dimension further when the sequencing sounds like a motorcycle ride in a convincing manner. Vishal Dadlani's urbane voice is a perfect fit for this contemporary chase genre composition. The live drumming and freaky electric guitars are like a detour to Classic Rock of the 80s but just when that is assumed, a layer of Hip-Hop chorus arrives from nowhere! Watch out for the mesmerizing electric guitar solo in the first interlude- which defines the soul of the album.

The soundtrack album of 10 Endrathukulla, got mixed reception, while "10 Endrathukulla" and "Vroom Vroom" were quietly praised. Behindwoods rated the album 2.75 out of 5 stars, summarising that "10 Endrathukulla is a fun listen!"<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movies/10-endrathukulla/10-endrathukulla-songs-review.html|title=10 Endrathukulla (aka) 10 Enradhukulla songs review|date=6 October 2015|website=Behindwoods|access-date=13 September 2019}}</ref> Indiaglitz reviewed as "Imman experiments with urbane flavor with ease" and rated the album 2.75 out of 5.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiaglitz.com/10-endrathukulla-songs-review-tamil-movie-18833|title=10 Endrathukulla Music review songs lyrics|website=IndiaGlitz.com|access-date=13 September 2019}}</ref> Moviecrow rated it as 2.5 out of 5, stating "Imman fails to deliver the completely enjoyable album in this 10 Enrathukulla mainly due to uninspiring tunes, However Imman's orchestration is considerably engaging throughout the album."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.moviecrow.net/News/9786/10-endrathukulla-songs---music-review|title=10 Endrathukulla Songs – Music Review|website=www.moviecrow.net|access-date=13 September 2019}}</ref>
