Production

Kabir Lal who shot for the Bengali and unreleased Marathi remakes of Julia's Eyes titled Adrushya and Antardrishti, respectively, returned to helm the Tamil and Telugu remakes.[2] The Tamil version initially starred Gayathrie Shankar and the Telugu version was initially titled as Agochara.[1] The film was shot in early 2021 in Dehradun with Parvati Nair in Tamil and Esha Chawla in Telugu, both of them playing a visually impaired woman.[3] Nair sustained many injuries including during the shooting of the climax when her head, arms, and legs were bleeding while splitting a table in half.[4] Chawla sustained an injury during a chase sequence and ran into barbed wire while blindfolded.[5] Ganesh Venkatraman and Kamal Kamaraju played the lead female character's husband, who is a psychologist, in Tamil and Telugu, respectively.[6][3][7]

Release and reception

Since the production team was based out of Mumbai and did not have distribution rights in Southern India, the makers opted for a direct-to-streaming release.[2]

A critic from The Times of India rated the film two out of five stars and wrote, "With a textbook formula, Un Paarvayil has the right recipe for a psycho thriller – a scary bungalow, a loving but mysterious husband, and a psycho killer. But that's about it".[8]
