The film stars Vineeth and Sonali Kulkarni, and has music by A. R. Rahman.

Ajith Kumar was initially considered to play the lead role before Vineeth was cast.

Vairamuthu felt it was impossible to fit words into the tune but Rahman remained adamant.

[14] Malini Mannath of The Indian Express wrote on the same day, "Despite its flaws, May Maadham is an engaging little film that is worth viewing".

[15] Thulasi of Kalki appreciated the film for Sreeram's cinematography, Rahman's music, Mohan's dialogues and the cast performances.
