- The feature film soundtrack to the 2018 Indian Tamil-language coming-of-age romance film 96 is composed by Govind Vasantha. The film starred Vijay Sethupathi and Trisha in the leading roles, and was directed by cinematographer C. Prem Kumar in his directorial debut. It revolves around two high school sweethearts, Ram and Jaanu, hailing from the batch of 1996 parted ways, and they meet at a reunion after 22 years. Govind was hired as the film's composer, following his relationship with Balaji Tharaneetharan during the production of Oru Pakka Kathai, where Prem Kumar handled the cinematography for the film. The delay over the film's release meant that 96 becoming the composer's third film to be released after Solo (2017) and Asuravadham (2018). The soundtrack had eight songs in total; five of them featured only in the film. Govind had made use of minimal instruments in the film and had two playback singers Pradeep Kumar and Chinmayi, providing vocals to most of the songs in the film's soundtrack, and also serving as playback for the lead characters. One of the tracks "Kaathalae Kaathalae", was initially meant to be an instrumental, not being included in the album. But, as it received rave response, after being featured in the teaser, the song was released as a single from the film on 30 July 2018. The album in its entirety was released on 24 August 2018 by Think Music India, and opened to widespread critical acclaim from music critics, praising Govind for the music production and instrumentation, which were considered to be "fresh and vibrant" unlike mainstream songs dominated by EDM-based soundscape prevalent in Tamil films. It was further certified as the "best Tamil soundtracks of 2018". It also received wide consumer response from the audience and the songs, particularly "Kaathalae Kaathalae" topped radio and music charts. It eventually became a breakthrough for Govind Vasantha, who went on to work with prominent celebrities in the Tamil film industry. The music of the film was nominated at several award ceremonies including Filmfare Awards South, where it won three awards at the Tamil branch — Best Music Director (Govind Vasantha), Best Lyricist (Karthik Netha) and Best Female Playback Singer (Chinmayi). The album won two awards each at the Norway Tamil Film Festival Awards (out of three nominations), Ananda Vikatan Cinema Awards and Behindwoods Gold Medal Awards. The album was nominated at three categories at the Edison Awards and four at the South Indian International Movie Awards, but did not receive any win. Film critics had highlighted the songs, score and use of film music as metaphor, is considered as one of the factors, that had contributed to the film's success, apart from the performances of the lead actors, direction, scripting and other technical aspects.

- "I read a poem long back. Though I could not remember the name of the poem or the poet, it is about the love story of a bird and a whale, who cannot live together. The same idea is used in the film. For composing the song, I used the bird-chirps and whale-songs in the middle of the number apart from the guitar and violin instruments." (en)
- "The web that Ram has spun for himself and the tears that ensue, the story of two star-crossed lovers occurring under the stars, a love is that as beautiful and complex like a mehndi. You realise that every bit of that song is a spoiler if only you understood." (en)
