==Production==
The film marks the directorial debut of veteran cinematographer Alagappan. The story has been nurtured by Alagappan for two and a half years. His story and idea found many takers and veteran producer Carlton Karunakaran readily agreed to produce the film. But Alagappan wanted to finish all his projects for other filmmakers before he donned the director's cap. In the meantime, he tightened his script and penned the dialogues in Tamil while Gireesh Kumar who wrote the scripts took care of the parts in Malayalam.<ref>[http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/flights-of-romance/article5221113.ece "Flights of romance"]</ref>

The film commenced its production in June 2013 in [[Kumbakonam]] in [[Tamil Nadu]].<ref name=":0">http://www.nowrunning.com/malayalam/pattam-pole-started-rolling/72915/story.htm</ref> The major location was [[Alappuzha]] in [[Kerala]] where the film is mostly set.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20130706055858/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-06-23/news-and-interviews/40146724_1_pattam-pole-love-story-nivin-pauly ]</ref>

==Critical reception==
The film received negative reviews from critics. Paresh C Palicha of [[Rediff.com]] rated the film 2/5 and said, "Alagappan has tried to serve old wine in a 'new generation' bottle in his first film as director, and the end result is just average." The critic however felt that the film "is unconventionally bold with the way it deals with the issue of live-in relationship."<ref>[http://www.rediff.com/movies/review/south-review-pattam-pole-is-old-wine-in-new-bottle/20131014.htm "Review: Pattam Pole is old wine in new bottle"]</ref> Ramesh Chandran of ''[[Malayala Manorama]]'' rated the film 1 in a scale of 5 and stated that the director has failed to impress the audience in his directorial debut. The critic concluded his review saying, "The movie has no spark. It does not offer you anything new or something old in a better way."<ref>[http://english.manoramaonline.com/cgi-bin/MMOnline.dll/portal/ep/contentView.do?contentId=15216335&tabId=1&programId=11565555&channelId=-1073865026 "Pattam pole: a kite lost in the woods"] {{webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20131015145920/http://english.manoramaonline.com/cgi-bin/MMOnline.dll/portal/ep/contentView.do?contentId=15216335&tabId=1&programId=11565555&channelId=-1073865026 |date=15 October 2013 }}</ref> Aswin J. Kumar of ''[[The Times of India]]'' wrote: "Romance, no matter how many times it's told, has a special lure that diminishes the cliches that accompany it. In this film, this never happens."<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20131017080015/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-10-13/movie-reviews/42991681_1_pattam-pole-pattom-pole-dulquer "Pattam Pole"]</ref> Veeyen of Nowrunning.com rated the film 2/5 and said, "Azhagappan's directorial debut 'Pattam Pole' is a kite that takes to the winds with a vengeance, having severed its ties off its flyer. It flies aimlessly this way and that before losing poise and crashing to the ground, all torn and tattered.".<ref>[http://www.nowrunning.com/movie/12121/malayalam/pattam-pole/4431/review.htm "Pattam Pole Review"]</ref>
