The princess falls in love with the young man but the minister has ideas to marry the princess to his son. The young man and his sister are tormented by the minister.
List adapted from The Hindu article.
Dance
This is a historical film but almost like a folklore produced by M. Somasundaram under the banner Jupiter Pictures. After the success of Velaikkaari the producer encouraged A. S. A. Sami to bring out another film with a similar theme. Sami created the character of a young man with revolutionary ideas and the same hero K. R. Ramaswamy was featured in the role.
Music was composed by C. R. Subburaman while the lyrics were penned by Udumalai Narayana Kavi. The film had 14 songs, some of them of Western style. The dance song Laalu Laalu written by K. D. Santhanam and rendered by Vyjayanthimala became popular.
In spite of the reformist theme, the film did not do well because of its complicated story. Film historian Randor Guy wrote in 2009 that the film is remembered for "the western-style dances by Vyjayanthimala and Lalitha-Padmini, catchy western tunes and good production values."
