Production

[edit]

Panchavarna Kili was inspired from the 1950 film No Man of Her Own, and shot at AVM Studios.[3] The story was, however, credited to Valampuri Somanathan.[4] Ra. Sankaran worked as associate director.[5]

Soundtrack

[edit]

The soundtrack was composed by the duo Viswanathan–Ramamoorthy, while the lyrics were written by Bharathidasan and Vaali.[6][7] The song "Azhagan Muruganidam Aasai Vaithen" is set in Tilang raga.[8][9] The song "Tamizhukkum Amudhendru Per" extols the sweetness of the Tamil language, noting it means "that which is sweet" as it is derived from the world "Tam" (meaning self) and "-izh" (an archaic word for honey).[10]
