Summary: Shot at the Gemini Studio by the leading Tamil director of the time, the mythological retells the familiar tale of the demon Hiranyakashapu and his devout son Prahlada who worships the god Vishnu. The film was noted mainly for its spectacular dances, featuring the famed duo of Gopinath (as Hiranyakashapu) and Thangamani (as his wife Kayadhu). The dance of Yama, god of death, was the film’s major highlight. Some of the choreography was set to classical Carnatic music. Master Sadasivam provided the mandatory comedy relief.
