Production
Thoorpu Padamara, a remake of K. Balachander's Tamil film Apoorva Raagangal (1975), was written and directed by Dasari Narayana Rao.[5] It was produced by K. Raghava under Pratap Art Productions, photographed by K. S. Mani and edited by K. Balu.[6] Srividya and Nagesh reprised their roles from the Tamil original.[2]
Themes
Thoorpu Padamara, like Narayana Rao's other films, explores "human relation dynamics".[5] According to Sridhar Sattiraju of Telugu360, the entire story can be summed in one of the film's dialogues which translates to: "Why the ‘Twain shall never meet, conveyed the essence of what happens when improbable relationships exist between say, a father-in-law and a daughter-in-law or say, a mother-in-law and son-in-law".[7]
Soundtrack
The soundtrack was composed by Ramesh Naidu, and the lyrics were written by C. Narayana Reddy.[8][9] Instead of reusing the songs from Apoorva Raagangal, Naidu was given freedom by Narayana Rao to compose original songs.[7]
