Production

Livingston and Devayani worked with each other four times in quick succession in the early 2000s, after appearances together in Parthasarathy's Unakkum Enakkum Kalyanam, Benjamin's Senthalam Poove and S. P. Rajkumar's En Purushan Kuzhandhai Maadhiri (2001) though the former two did not release despite having audio launches. [2] [3] [4] Scriptwriter Yosi was also a part of the project. [5] It became one of Devayani's first films that she had dubbed for in her original voice. [6]

Critical reception

Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote, "It was meant to depict the life of pavement dwellers, and of the trials and tribulations of one woman in particular. But the way it has turned out, it is like this group of artistes are sitting by the wayside in isolation, pretending to be pavement dwellers, putting on an accent and speaking the lingo. All very put-on and laughable". [7] The film won the Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Film Portraying Woman in Good Light for 2002. [8]
