Trivia
- This was the only film directed by Anu Mohan, who was primarily known as a film journalist and critic.
- The film's plot is loosely inspired by the 1970 Hollywood movie 'Love Story', adapting its tragic romance theme for a Tamil audience.
- Actress Radha, who played the lead, was at the peak of her career in the late 1980s and chose this film for its emotional depth.
- The soundtrack by composer Ilaiyaraaja was well-received, with the song 'Poongatru' becoming a notable romantic hit.
- The movie was shot extensively in Ooty, a popular hill station in Tamil Nadu, known for its scenic backdrops in many films.
- Despite its dramatic storyline, the film had a moderate box office run and is now considered a lesser-known work from that era.
- A key condition in the film's marriage plot involved the lead character hiding her illness, a common trope in melodramas of the time.
