Production
'Aalinganam' was one of the earliest films where Sridevi played an adult, despite being 12 or 13 years old.
Soundtrack
The music was composed by A. T. Ummer and the lyrics were written by Bichu Thirumala. The song "Thushaarabindukkale" was written by Bichu Thirumala for his play 'Dandakaranyam', and included in 'Aalinganam' because Sasi liked it; though Kannur Rajan composed that song, he was not credited for it.
Accolades
At the Kerala State Film Awards, Ummer won the award for Best Music Director, and Janaki won for Best Female Playback Singer.
