Soundtrack
Soundtrack was composed by Sabesh–Murali. Behindwoods wrote "Sabesh-Murali duo deserves a pat for sticking to sensible and gentle percussive usage for this ‘rural-themed’ story".
Reception
Sify wrote "Like all? made in Madurai? films, it is another gory tale that traces the story of four youngsters who have gone astray due to parental neglect at an early age. [..] Madurai films seems to be losing steam as the subject and treatment is the same in film after film since Sasikumar?s pathbreaking Subramaniapuram happened in 2008". Behindwoods wrote "Goripalayam could have been a sensible and sensitive film about how societal negligence can be a breeding opportunity for the unwanted".
