Cast

Production

Music director S. S. Kumaran made his directorial debut with this film. Adith Arun and Reshmi Menon, who previously starred in Inidhu Inidhu together, collaborate again for this film.[1] The film is a romantic story with no violence.[2] After screening the film to a select group of people, the film was trimmed based on their feedback.[1] Kumaran wanted M. S. Bhaskar to portray the heroine's father, but he was replaced by Prabhakar, an associate of Sasi, due to the film's low budget. Kumaran had previously collaborated with Sasi in Poo.[2] Kumaran practiced his Tamil and dubbed for his character in the film.[3]

Release and reception

The film released on July 1, 2011.[1] Indiaglitz wrote "Due credit should be given to Kumaran for avoiding commercial cliches as he ensures that he gives a simple movie. There are some lagging moments but considering this to be Kumaran's maiden venture, they can be over-looked."[5] Behindwoods wrote "The consoling factors in this otherwise bland fare are the soothing lush locations and the picturization of few songs. It would have been positive for the film if S S Kumaran had paid the same diligence that he paid to the songs to the main story as well. In short Theneer Viduthi fails to impress."[6]
