Plot

Cast

Production

Meena, who starred as a child actress in several films, made her lead Tamil debut with this film. She gained recognition on the serial Anbulla Amma before acting in this film.[3][4][5] Editor M. Rajaram of Dinamalar turned producer with this film.[6]

Soundtrack

Uma Kannadasan, who is not related to Kannadasan, composed the soundtrack and wrote the lyrics.[7]

Reception

N. Krishnaswamy of The Indian Express opined that "the director Balasubbiah, though he flounders off and on, has kept the fare clean".[7] B. S. S. of Kalki criticised the film for not presenting a new story while noting that Uma Kannadasan's music sounds like Ilaiyaraaja's in places.[1] The film was a commercial failure.[2]
