It is written and directed by Naranipuzha Shanavas, and produced by Vijay Babu under his production company Friday Film House.

However, she decides to stay back when her father threatens suicide.Ten years later, she is married to NRI Rajeev, in Dubai with their daughter and thinks that love is lost.

Rajeev, who madly loves Sujatha, decides to bring her back to the village to attend Sufi's burial which may help her say goodbye.

But as Babu insisted to elevate the story further, the scope of the project became bigger with the inclusion of Aditi Rao Hydari and composer M. Jayachandran.

He eventually refrained using blue coloured costumes, except for the saree which Sujata wears in the climax, as "I wanted the past settings to give off a magical vibe—a contrast to the stark reality of the present" and felt that the costumes, set design and light would be perfectly blend in order to achieve the right feeling.

The soundtrack runs for over nineteen minutes and has seven tracks; sung by Sudeep Palanad, Nithya Mammen, and Amrutha Suresh.

[16][17] Giving a rating of three stars, Sanjith Sridharan of The Times of India wrote that Shanavas "managed to shed light on the struggles, societal presumptions and how ‘religion is just a person’s opinion’, through subtle dialogues".

[18] Nitya Punnackal of Manorama Online wrote that Shanavas "tosses up a curious mix of a mystical storytelling etched in the genre of lingering romance".

[19] In a negative review, Anna M. M. Vetticad of Firstpost gave 1.5 out of 5 summarising "Deceptive marketing might have been partly forgiven if Sufiyum Sujatayum had something worthwhile to offer.

"[20] S. R. Praveen of The Hindu wrote "The love and sufism in Sufiyum Sujatayum disappointingly remains skin-deep, which is a tragedy considering the promise it held.

"[21] Karthik Kumar of Hindustan Times wrote "Sufiyum Sujatayum just feels like a lot of potential where the surface has barely been scratched.

"[22] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express wrote "for a film which is trying to say something so significant, something which bears repeating in these polarised times, it needed to have been much better.

"[23] Sowmya Rajendran of The News Minute wrote "Sufiyum Sujatayum strives to be a simple love story—one that does not require explanations or footnotes—but the treatment makes it simplistic instead.

"[24] Baradwaj Rangan of Film Companion South described it as a classy romance that is too restrained and keeps viewers at arm's length.
