Selvaraghavan's first (official) film Kadal Kondein was a big hit with audiences and critics. The film's music, composed by Illayaraja's younger son Yuvan Shankar Raja, was also well received.

His next film was eagerly awaited. And Selvaraghavan and Yuvan did not disappoint. 7 G Rainbow Colony, like Kadal Kondein, was a commercial hit. Those who love good cinema loved its realism. Yuvan's musical score was excellent.
