Production

Srividya was initially chosen for the role which was portrayed by Vijaya Nirmala.[3] Sivakumar was cast in a major role, although the majority of his scenes did not make the final cut.[4]

Soundtrack

The music was composed by K. V. Mahadevan, while the lyrics were written by Kannadasan.[5] The song "Yelantha Pazham" became controversial due to its perceived erotic or vulgar lyrics,[6][7] but became popular among the masses.[8][9]

Release and reception

Panama Pasama was released on 23 February 1968.[10] Kalki negatively reviewed the film, criticising Gopalakrishnan's dialogues and direction.[11] Ananda Vikatan said that though the concept was old, the way it was handled was innovative. The critic concluded that the film had few flaws, and was another testament to Gopalakrishnan's talent.[12] The film became Gopalakrishnan's biggest success to that point;[1] it ran for 140 days at Madurai's Thangam Theatre, then the largest theatre in Asia.[13][14]
