The film was in production for a long time due to several issues.
The historical drama starred Gemini Ganesan and Vyjayanthimala in the lead roles.
Parthiban Kanavu is one of the historical novels written by Kalki Ramaswamy Krishnamurthy, better known by his pen name Kalki. From 1941 to 1943 Parthiban was published as a weekly series in Kanavu Kalki, a magazine founded by Kalki Ramaswamy himself. It was later filmed in Tamil, Telugu and Sinhalese languages in 1960.
Parthiban Kanavu released in theaters on 3 June 1960 and the film was a box office failure. The film was directed by Yogananda and produced by V Govindarajan. The film featured Vyjayanthimala as Narasimhavarman’s daughter Kundavai, Gemini Ganesan as Parthiban and SV Ranga Rao as Narasimhavarman. Saroja Devi also played a small role in the film.
The film was in production for a long time due to several issues. Saroja Devi, who played a friend of Princess Vyjaythimala, gained a star status during this period. The film won the Best Feature Film in Tamil at the National Film Awards.
The novel Parthiban Kanavu was based on the life of Vikraman, the son of the wealthy Chola king Parthiban. Parthiban dreamed that one day the Chola nation would become great. After Parthiban’s death in a battle, Vikraman frees the Cholas from the enemy to fulfill his father’s dream.
After 62 years, another historical novel by Kalki, Ponniyin Selvan has hit the big screen. Fans of Kalki’s work are hoping that Ponniyin Selvan will turn a profit, unlike Parthiban Kanavu.
