Goatherd Alamelu leads a happy life with her pet goat in a village. Her life changes for the worse when a landlord talks ill of her character and claims to have had an affair with her.
Sivakumar said it took him "15 years to do the role in [Aattukara Alamelu]". [4] The name of the title character, Alamelu, is a reference to Sripriya's birth name. [5] Chinnappa Thevar wanted Nagesh to direct the film; he refused as he felt he was not the right person to do so. [6]
The music for this film was composed by Shankar–Ganesh, and the lyrics were written by Ma. Ra. [7] [8]

Aattukara Alamelu was released on 10 November 1977, Diwali day. [3] [9] Film World wrote, "Aattukara Alamelu is a fluke; one misses any worthy element that is a box-office draw besides the performance of the goat!". [10] The film was a silver jubilee hit. [11]
Enga Ooru Aattukkaran (1990), which also stars Sripriya, was compared by N. Krishnaswamy of The Indian Express to Aattukara Alamelu as it also prominently features a goat. [12]
