"Avalude Ravukal" is the first Malayalam film to receive an "A" certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification. It is considered as one of the boldest Malayalam films of all time. Sasi, the experimental and the most popular director at that time, tried to highlight a theme which most mainstream directors are afraid to get into. The film was dubbed and released in Tamil as "Avalin Iravugal" and in Hindi as "Her Nights" and were also successful at the box office. It was remade in Kannada as "Kamala" (1979) and in Hindi as "Patita" (1980).
