Production

The filming was primarily held at Kodaikanal.

The music was composed by Ilaiyaraaja. The song "Orey Raagam" was later reused in the Telugu film Abhinandana as "Ade Neevu". The song "Velli Nila Padhumai" is set to the Carnatic raga Suddha Dhanyasi, and attained popularity. That song was also reused by Ilaiyaraaja in Telugu as "Rangulalo Kalalo" for Abhinandana.

Anna praised the acting of the cast, cinematography, humour, direction and music and concluded saying this film will impress female audience.

Following Vijayakanth's death in 2023, Film Companion included the film in their list "7 Vijayakanth Films That Left an Indian Cinema Legacy".
