Production edit
Ezhil Durai chose to make his first feature film after working in almost fifty short films. Production began in mid-2016, with the film initially wrongly reported in the media to be based on the murder of a young working professional by a stalker in Chennai. Ezhil refuted the claims and revealed it was a romantic comedy, with actresses Madhumila and Abhinaya working alongside him.[2] The film was also dubbed into Telugu as 100% Break Up soon after the original Tamil version had been completed.[3] The makers initially targeted to release the film around Valentine's Day but postponements meant that they settled for an April release.[4]

Release edit
The film opened on 7 April 2017 across Tamil Nadu alongside Mani Ratnam's Kaatru Veliyidai. The Times of India wrote "there is an earnestness about Senjittale En Kadhala that gives the film some appeal, but the filmmaking lacks zing" and that "we can sense a gap between the writing and the execution and often, this comes in the way of us fully immersing ourselves into it".[5] A critic from The New Indian Express wrote "the writing is simple and Ezhil approaches all aspects in earnest" but "there's inconsistency in presentation and since most of the artistes are newbies, it lacks the fizz - a regular ingredient of new time writers".[6]
