Cast

Production

The film marked the directorial debut of Azhagu Rajasundaram, who had previously apprenticed under directors Pandiarajan and Vikraman for fifteen years.[1] Produced by V. K. Riaz Ahmed, Mumtaz's manager, the film's story was based around two real life incidents — the murder of a lawyer in bright daylight and the accident in which 40 individuals were killed.[2]

Soundtrack

Soundtrack was composed by Deva.[3][4] The song "Gudu Guduppu" is loosely based on Hindi song "Babuji Zara Dheere" from Hindi film Dum.[citation needed]

Reception

Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote "Finally, don't go by the title or it's heroine. For, it's a fairly serious and realistic film, socially relevant, at times heart-rending too. Though for hard-core Mumtaz fans who'd expect to see 'more' of her here, it may be a slight disappointment!".[5]
