Divya, secretly mourning her former lover Manohar( Karthik) who was shot dead, did not want to be married.
The story follows Divya's inner conflict between holding onto her past and coming to terms with the present and making a life with Chandrakumar.
The film's development began when Ratnam began writing a short story tiled" Divya" with no cinematic plans until he finished it.
Since production on his directorial debut" Pallavi Anu Pallavi"( 1983) was delayed, he took a break for a month and developed" Divya" into a film script, which would eventually be renamed" Mouna Ragam".
Although Ratnam began work on the script during" Pallavi Anu Pallavi", it languished in development hell and ended up becoming his fifth film.
" Mouna Ragam" was the first film produced by Venkateswaran's Sujatha Films, and was shot primarily in Madras( now Chennai), with additional filming taking place in Delhi and Agra.
The music was composed by Ilaiyaraaja, with lyrics by Vaali.

The film was edited by B. Lenin and V. T. Vijayan.
" Mouna Ragam" was released on 15 August 1986, India's Independence Day.
Despite opening to modest audiences, it became a box- office success, with a theatrical run of over 175 days, and Mani Ratnam's breakthrough.
The film received critical acclaim; it won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Tamil, and Ratnam received the Filmfare Award for Best Tamil Director.
