Production Thai Pongal is the only directorial credit of lyricist and screenwriter M. G. Vallabhan.
Soundtrack The music was composed by Ilaiyaraaja, with lyrics by the director Vallabhan. The opening portions of the song "Kanmalargalin" sampled "Money, Money, Money" by ABBA. The song "Theertha Karaithaniley" became highly popular.
Reception Kanthan of Kalki wrote there is nothing wrong with making a good compelling screenplay into a film and getting an 'A' certificate, but writing the story, scripting and setting the scenes just to get an A certificate is disgusting.
