Production
editThe movie was earlier entitled Sweet. However, Sundar changed the title because of the announcement of the Tamil Nadu Government that Tamil films with Tamil names will be exempted from entertainment tax. [citation needed] The shooting of the song "Naanthaanaa Naanthaanaa" took place in Golkonda, capital and fortress city of the Qutb Shahi kingdom, near Hyderabad. Another important scene was shot in Kushaldass Garden in Chennai.

Reception
editThe film received generally positive reviews but failed to create any impact at the box office due to non-prominent cast. Cinesouth reported the movie was 'sweet'.[2] One Indian website reported that the movie was average, praising the acting of Nargis.[3] Chennai Vision wrote "Anand, the original version of Ninaithale in Telugu came with the caption ‘Oka manchi coffee lanti cinema’ (a film as fresh as a nice coffee). In Tamil too, producer turned director Viswas Sundar has followed it faithfully and retained the freshness, not just in the screenplay or narration, but in everything including refreshing takes and sensitive crafting".[4] Rediff wrote "Thought the film suffers from a weak story line, the setting and the characters are contemporary".[5] Chennai Online wrote "A soft, sweet love-story, sans violence, overt sex or double entendres, 'Ninaithaley...' is a clean, wholesome, family entertainer".[6] Lajjavathi of Kalki praised the acting of lead pair and other cast, cinematography, music, dialogues and direction.[7]
