Production
After the success of Pillai Nila, director Manobala did not want to make another horror film, but preferred to make a comedy. Five of Ilaiyaraaja's unused songs were bought and P. Kalaimani weaved a story around them, which became Paaru Paaru Pattanam Paaru.[1] It is the first film for Ranjini as lead actress.[2]
Soundtrack
The music was composed by Ilaiyaraaja.[3][4]

Release and reception
Paaru Paaru Pattanam Paaru was released on 7 September 1986.[5] Jayamanmadhan of Kalki wrote that almost three-quarters of the film would have been a full-length comedy if it had been extended and taken to happy end.[6] According to Manobala, the film failed as audiences expected another suspenseful film like Pillai Nila from him.[1]
