[1] It was produced by Balachander's home banner Kavithalayaa Productions and stars Madhavan and Simran in the lead roles alongside Raghava Lawrence and Sneha.

Paarthale Paravasam released on 14 November 2001 to mixed reviews and became a commercial failure, even though soundtrack was praised.

[2] Madhava is a doctor, and a single appearance in a film as an actor has made him the heartthrob of thousands of girls.

But he decides not to continue with his film career since he promised to his late father to dedicate his life to medicine and social service.

But a revelation about his past love affair with a college friend with whom he fathered a son causes both his mother and his wife to become furious with him.

[7] The song "Nee Thaan En Desiya Geetham" was shot in Malaysia featuring Madhavan and Sneha.

[13] The songs were choreographed by Lawrence Raghavendra; "Nee Thaan En Desiya Geetham" was picturised in Malaysia.

Malini Mannath from Chennai Online claimed that the dialogues were "insipid", the narration "lacklustre" and the film was "a monotonous journey for the audience".

[16] Similarly, the reviewer from Sify.com labelled the film as "insufferable" and drew criticism to the director and the lead actors, saying that only Vivek's position was the "silver lining".

[19] Visual Dasan of Kalki wrote that the problem is that Balachander, who got into being a little realistic, a little cinematic, and a lot guts, has gotten stuck in dramatic cinema this time.
