Production

After Anbu Thangai, Muthuraman and Guhanathan were in search of a story for their next film. They listened to scripts from various screenwriters but none of them impressed them, they decided to approach Panchu Arunachalam who asked for two days time to complete the script. R. Selvaraj who was Arunachalam's assistant at that time suggested to handle revenge story in a lighter vein which impressed Arunachalam and wrote a screenplay which became Engamma Sapatham.[3]

Soundtrack

The music was composed by Vijaya Bhaskar.[4][5] Vijaya Bhaskar later reused the tune of the song "Anbu Megame" in the Telugu remake "Ammayila Sapatham" as "Neeli Meghamaa" and in the Kannada remake Vasantha Lakshmi (1978) as "Belli Modave".

Reception
