Ente Mamattukkuttiyammakku was an Industry Hit and critical success and became the highest-grossing Malayalam film of the year.

Although Shalini had already made her debut in Aadyathe Anuraagam, it was Ente Mamattukkuttiyammakku that gave her recognition.

"Baby Shalini" became a successful child artist and appeared in similar roles in her subsequent films.

The outdoor scenes showing Bharat Gopi's office and work site were shot in Hotel Vivanta near the Menaka bus stop.
