Producción
Después de que Vishnuvardhan regresara de Mumbai, Gemini Color Labs, que había producido The Terrorist, le ofreció hacer una nueva versión de la comedia telugu Allari en tamil. Aunque no quería que su primera película fuera una nueva versión, aceptó porque sentía que no debía "desaprovechar la oportunidad". [ 3 ] La película contó con Naresh de la película original retomando su papel, lo que marcó su debut en tamil junto a las actrices debutantes Nikita Thukral y Diya. [ 2 ] [ 4 ] Todo el rodaje se llevó a cabo en Chennai. [ 5 ]
Banda sonora
The music was composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja, teaming up with Vishnuvardhan, who since then has worked together with him and scored the music in all his films until Shershaah. The soundtrack includes a remix of the song "Aasai Nooru Vagai" from the 1983 Tamil film Adutha Varisu, composed by Ilaiyaraaja, Yuvan's father. This was considered to have started off a new trend and the era of remixes in the Tamil film industry.[6] The soundtrack was launched in HFO discotheque while the film crew conducted talent hunt for singers in the same location to promote the film.[7][5]
Critical reception
Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu opined that "After all the hype and pre-release publicity of the film you expected much more. But leave alone making you laugh, this Kurumbu does not even tickle".[8] A critic from Deccan Herald wrote that "Kurumbu, directed by debutant Vishnuvardhan is clearly targetted at the youth".[9] Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote that "A faithful remake of the Telugu hit ‘Allari', 'Kurumbu', directed by debutant Vishnuvardhan (apprenticed with Santosh Sivan) and produced by Indira Innovations, is clearly targetted at the youth".[10] Visual Dasan of Kalki criticised the film for excessive vulgarity but called Nikitha's love as relief and added it seems that Vishnuvardhan, who has miserably directed an old story with a very old screenplay, will not watch Tamil films.[11]Cinesouth wrote, "The film moves at such a slow pace. But, even after the film's over, you remember only two things- the hero Naresh's antics and some very naughty scenes".[12]
