Plot[edit | edit source]

Selvam is arrested on a false charge of passing counterfeit bills. He escapes and tries to put his hands on the real authors, that is, the leader of the band of the counterfeiters to be exonerated.

Production[edit | edit source]

Panathottam is named after the book of the same name by C. N.

Soundtrack[edit | edit source]

The music was composed by Viswanathan–Ramamoorthy, with lyrics by Kannadasan.^[7]^[8] The song "Pesuvathu Kiliya" is based on Bilaskhani Todi raga.^[9] It contains multiple references to Ramachandran's vital stats through its lyrics "Paaduvadhu kaviyaa illai, paarivallal magana; Seranukku uravaa senthamizhar nilava"; the line "Seranukku uravaa" refers to Ramachandran's place of birth Kerala, "paari vallal" references his perceived generous nature, and "senthamizhar" gives emphasis to Ramachandran's Tamil pride.^[10]
