Kalaimani weaved a story around them, which became Paaru Paaru Pattanam Paaru. It is the first film for Ranjini as lead actress.
Soundtrack
The music was composed by Ilaiyaraaja. The song "Yaar Thoorigai" is set to the Carnatic raga Sindhu Bhairavi.

Release and reception
Paaru Paaru Pattanam Paaru was released on 7 September 1986. Jayamanmadhan of Kalki wrote that almost three-quarters of the film would have been a full-length comedy if it had been extended and taken to happy end. According to Manobala, the film failed as audiences expected another suspenseful film like Pillai Nila from him.
