Trivia
- This film was produced by Sivaji Productions, the banner of legendary actor Sivaji Ganesan, who also played a pivotal role.
- The movie's climax was shot at the Binny Mills in Chennai, a real factory location adding authenticity to the union story.
- Actress Radha, a major star then, played the female lead, but her role was relatively brief compared to the action-driven plot.
- It was one of several 1980s collaborations between director S.P. Muthuraman and music composer Ilaiyaraaja, though the soundtrack did not become a major hit.
- The story reflects a common 1980s Tamil cinema theme of avenging an older brother's death, similar to plots in other Rajinikanth films of the era.
- Despite the serious subject, the film includes comedic scenes featuring actors like Chandrasekhar to provide typical commercial masala elements.
- The title 'Dharma Devathai' translates to 'Goddess of Justice', symbolising the brother's quest for rightful vengeance.
