Production
The film marked the directorial debut of Chandra who earlier assisted Aabavanan. Chandra's earlier directorial venture Conductor Mappillai remains unreleased and the way Chandra handled the budget impressed producer Balu who offered him the opportunity to direct Chinna Durai. The filming was entirely held at Pollachi. Soundtrack
Soundtrack was composed by Ilaiyaraaja. Reception
Deccan Herald wrote "The best things in Chinna Dorai are the child, who’s not more than six months old, Mani Vannan and the costumes, particularly those of Roja and Sharath Kumar". References
