This 1959 Tamil historical drama, directed by B. R. Panthulu and starring Sivaji Ganesan, dramatizes the life of 18th-century chieftain Veerapandiya Kattabomman as he resists British East India Company efforts to control his territory of Panchalankurichi. The story follows his conflicts with colonial officials and a rival neighboring ruler, alongside a subplot involving his commander-in-chief winning the love of a local woman through a bull-taming contest. Based on a stage play featuring the same lead actor, the film was notable as an early Tamil color production.
