Trivia

  • The film's title 'Ramu' was inspired by a popular 1952 Hindi film of the same name, which also dealt with a father-son relationship.
  • This was one of the earliest films where actor Muthuraman played a lead role, portraying the son Ramu.
  • The movie's music was composed by Viswanathan–Ramamoorthy, a legendary duo, but it did not produce a major hit song like their other works.
  • A major portion of the film was shot in and around the then-rural areas of Chennai to depict the village setting authentically.
  • The plot revolves around a son with a mental disability, a subject rarely addressed in mainstream Tamil cinema of the 1960s.
  • Director A. C. Tirulokchandar was known for social dramas, and 'Ramu' followed his pattern of focusing on family emotions and sacrifice.
