Plot

Pudhayal was about imaginary gold buried on a beach, which Vellaiambalam (Balaiah) covets. Padmini and Sivaji meet and talk about how her father (M.K. Radha) in Sri Lanka was implicated in her mother’s murder and imprisoned.

Padmini and her sister Thangam come to India, where the sister dies. It’s believed that she drowned and her body lies under the sand. Vellaiambalam overhears the word ‘Thangam’ (‘gold’ in Tamil) and believes a fortune is buried there.

The music composed by Viswanathan-Ramamoorthy.[3] Lyrics by Mahakavi Bharathiyar, Thanjai N. Ramaiah Dass, A. Maruthakasi, Pattukkottai Kalyanasundaram & M. K. Athmanathan. Singer is J. P. Chandrababu. Playback singers are C. S. Jayaraman, T. M. Soundararajan, A. L. Raghavan, P. Suseela & M. K. Punitham.

Vinnodum mukhilodum, sung by C. S. Jayaraman and P. Suseela, was a big hit. Shot at Elliot’s Beach, the song had Padmini and a slim and supple Sivaji doing somersaults! Two songs by J. P. Chandrababu, Hello, My dear Raami and Unakkaaga Ellam Unakkaaga, were also hits. The first has a humming lalala..., lifted from the The Wedding Samba by Edmundo Ros. The tune was repeated in the Hindi Tangewali (1955) in Halkey Halkey (composed by Salil Chowdhury).
