→Trivia
- The film's title 'Oonjal' refers to a traditional Tamil swing, symbolizing the ups and downs of family life central to the plot.
- Director S. P. Rajkumar chose to shoot extensively in real village houses in Tamil Nadu to capture authentic domestic settings.
- Actor Thalaivasal Vijay, who plays a key elder, is performing in his first film after a five-year break from acting.
- The story was partly inspired by the director's own observations of joint family disputes in rural Tamil communities.
- A special custom-made wooden oonjal (swing) was built for the film and later donated to a local temple.
- The film's climax scene involving the four men was shot in a single continuous take lasting over eight minutes.
- Composer D. Imman incorporated a rarely used folk instrument called the 'Urumi' into the background score for village scenes.
