Production


This is a historical film, but almost like a folklore film, 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. Ramasamy was featured in the role.


Soundtrack


Music was composed by C. R. Subburaman and C. S. Jayaraman, while the lyrics were penned by Udumalai Narayana Kavi.[1] The film had 14 songs, some of them of Western style.[2] The dance song Laalu Laalu written by K. D. Santhanam and rendered by A. P. Komala became popular.

As a boy, A. L. Raghavan was introduced by C. S. Jayaraman and sang in a girl's voice for Kumari Kamala in this film.[3]
