The film was made in 2014 and features twenty-five debutante actors apart from the lead cast.[2][3] The film was delayed after producer J. Satish Kumar decided to concentrate on other ventures. The film was given an A (adult) certificate although there are no obscene scenes.[1][4]

[edit]

The music was composed by Siva Saravanan from Singapore (in his feature film debut)[5] and Anish Yuvani.[2]

Reception

[edit]

A critic from The New Indian Express wrote that "Off-beat, bold and unconventional in its theme and execution, the film with its tagline ‘Red is Not a Colour’, could be a watchable fare for a viewer satiated with routine formula flicks".[6] A critic from iFlicks wrote that "Overall, the film is watchable for its unconventional take on a theme that many film-makers fail to acknowledge".[7]

Notes
