Production
[edit]The 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.

Critical reception
[edit]Cinesouth appreciated almost every aspect of the film, including the direction, writing, cinematography and cast performances.[2] 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".[3] Hema Vijay of Rediff.com wrote "Thought the film suffers from a weak story line, the setting and the characters are contemporary".[4]
Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote, "A soft, sweet love-story, sans violence, overt sex or double entendres, 'Ninaithaley...' is a clean, wholesome, family entertainer".[5] Lajjavathi of Kalki praised the acting of lead pair and other cast, cinematography, music, dialogues and direction.[6] S. R. Ashok Kumar of The Hindu wrote, "Madhi's camera work is noteworthy while Lenin's editing is a plus point. Bharathan's dialogue is crisp and to the point. It is a love story with a difference".[7]
