Trivia
- This was the first Tamil film directed by Fazil, who was already a famous director in Malayalam cinema.
- The movie's title 'Poove Poochudava' comes from a popular Tamil folk song, which is also featured in the film.
- Actress Suhasini, who played the granddaughter, is the niece of legendary actor Kamal Haasan and was already a National Award winner when she took this role.
- The film is a remake of Fazil's own 1984 Malayalam hit 'Ente Mamattukkuttiyammakku', which also starred Suhasini in the same role.
- Composer Ilaiyaraaja reused some of his own music from the original Malayalam version but rearranged it for the Tamil audience.
- The story highlights the loneliness of the elderly, a theme not commonly explored in mainstream Tamil cinema of that era.
- Despite Fazil's success in Malayalam, this Tamil version did not achieve the same level of box office success as the original.
