K. S. Gopalakrishnan—who earlier worked as a screenwriter for films like Deivapiravi and Padikkadha Medhai—made his directorial debut with Sarada.

[1] The film was praised by critics for Gopalakrishnan's writing, the cast performances (particularly Vijayakumari's) and music.

[8] Kanthan of Kalki wrote that though the film reminded him of Nenjil Or Aalayam (1962), the innovative screenplay made it worth watching.
