Production
The film began production in January of 2020 and Jeevan accepted the film after listening to three of V. C. Vadivudaiyan's scripts.[1] This film marked his comeback to films after a five-year gap.[2] The film was planned as a multilingual film with the Hindi version titled as Naagmati.[3] Mallika Sherawat plays a queen in the film, which marks her return to Tamil cinema after a twelve-year gap.[4][5] Sherawat joined the sets in February 2021 during the second schedule and shot some of her dialogues in Hindi.[6] A dungeon set was made at Binny Mills in Chennai. The stunts were choreographed by Super Subbarayan. Jeevan sustained several injuries including burns from torches falling in a narrow passage and a hairline muscle tear from falling through gaps between beds while rolling sideways on the ground.[7] At the film's trailer launch, Saipriya Deva said that she signed the film as a heroine but lamented about how her name was disregarded from promotional material.[8]
Reception
A critic from The Times of India rated the film 1+1⁄2 out of 5 and wrote that "The overall vibe of Pambattam is jaded and even comical. The scenes that are supposed to be pretty serious, like a marriage by abduction and even the death of one of the important characters, just don't make you feel any kind of emotion".[9] A critic from Dinakaran wrote that the director delivered the film in the old formula of telling a historical story and then combining it with a social story.[10] A critic from Zee Tamil wrote that since it is a small budget film, they did not spend much on CG scenes, and it would have turned out to be a better film if only a little attention had been paid to it.[11]
