Minnalppadayali is one of Lalitha's films where she is not a begum or a princess but a humble orphan girl living with a wealthy family. Here in this film she played suitor to three possible persons and one of them is no other than Sathyan. The movie is well directed by G.Vishwanath with some melodious music by P.S Divakar assisted by Ramganathan. Lalitha displayed great acting skill . This was the period when Lalithaa was at her peak of her career and made a few hits acting opposite some of the big names. The dialogue was well written and Vijayam as the strict disciplinarian acted very well. Sathyan's antics were a bit excessive but still was enjoyable. I graded it as a seven out of ten.
