Trivia

  • This was the only Tamil film directed by C. V. Sridhar where the legendary actor Sivaji Ganesan did not appear, despite Sridhar frequently collaborating with him.
  • The film's music was composed by the renowned Viswanathan–Ramamoorthy duo, marking one of their earlier works in a social drama.
  • Actress C. R. Vijayakumari, who played the daughter, was a well-known Bharatanatyam dancer before entering films.
  • The movie was shot in black and white, which was standard for the era, but used lighting techniques to highlight emotional scenes in the temple.
  • A subplot involving the murder and the car was considered a bold narrative choice for a mainstream Tamil film in the early 1960s.
  • The title 'Policekaran Magal' translates to 'Policeman's Daughter', focusing the story on her perspective rather than the male lead.
  • Some outdoor scenes were filmed in actual Chennai localities, which was uncommon as many studios used sets for urban settings at the time.
