The success of P. Vasu's family drama En Thangachi Padichava (1988) starring Prabhu prompted further collaborations in the same genre between the pair with Chinna Thambi (1991) and Senthamizh Paattu (1992) being released soon after.[1]

Soundtrack

The music was composed by M. S. Viswanathan and Ilaiyaraaja, with lyrics by Vaali.[2][3] The song "Solli Solli" gave a break to its singer Sunanda.[4]

Release and reception

Senthamizh Paattu was released on 25 October 1992, Diwali day.[5][6] Malini Mannath of The Indian Express lauded Sukanya 's performance and the music, but called the film "rather a crude imitation" of Chinna Thambi.[7] Supraja Sridharan of Kalki wrote that if one could tolerate vulgar comedy, they could enjoy the film for the naïve Sukanya, playful Kasthuri, natural Prabhu and beautiful music.[8] Balasubrahmanyam won the Cinema Express Award for Best Male Playback Singer.[9]
