Debutant actress Asha Rani and playwright Parvathavani star. The musical score was composed by Upendra Kumar, while the lyrics, screenplay and dialogues were written by Chi. Udaya Shankar. P.

'Ratha Sapthami' opened on 12 December 1986 and was declared a musical blockbuster.

Co-screen play writer P. Vasu remade the movie in Tamil in 1996 as 'Love Birds'.

The interval twist of the movie - where the hero supposedly dies in an accident - and the second half of the movie - where the heroine is sent out of her hometown to her uncle's place in order to overcome her depression but is shell shocked to find a lookalike in a vehicle nearby and later catches a glimpse of him again in a discotheque dancing merrily - went on to be re-used in the 2000 Hindi movie 'Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai'.
