Production

Oru Nadigai Natakam Parkiral was based on a semi-autobiographical novel of the same name by Jayakanthan in 1971.[3] A. Bhimsingh collaborated with Jayanakthan for the second time after Sila Nerangalil Sila Manithargal (1976), another film based on a Jayakanthan novel.[4] Jayakanthan wrote the screenplay and dialogues for Oru Nadigai Natakam Parkiral. The actors who were a part of Sila Nerangalil Sila Manithargal—Sreekanth, Lakshmi, Y. G. Parthasarathy, Nagesh, and Sukumari—were cast in this film too.[1][2] This was Bhimsingh's last film before his death.[1]

The film was released on 30 June 1978. The film was screened at the "Indian Panorama" section of the International Film Festival of India in 1979.[2] As of August 2015, no print of the film exists.[5] Despite that, it has survived on home video.[6]
