      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.

      Music was composed by C. R. Subburaman and C. S. Jayaraman. The film had 14 songs, some of them of Western style. The dance song "Laalu Laalu" became popular. As a boy, A. L. Raghavan was introduced by Jayaraman and sang in a girl's voice for Kumari Kamala in this film.


      Reception


      Film historian Randor Guy wrote in 2009 that the film did not do well commercially because of its complicated story.
