[2] It stars Gemini Ganesan and Vyjayanthimala and Padmini, with P. S. Veerappa, T. K. Shanmugam, P. Kannamba, Vijayakumari, K. A. Thangavelu and M. S. Sundari Bai in supporting roles.

Chokkalingam without any hesitation accuses that Senapathi, the brother of the King's second wife, Rani plotted the prince's killing.

Found guilty, Senapathi is banished by the King but is helped by one of his soldiers to stay in the kingdom without anyone's knowledge.

The princess at first is averse to the attitude of Sunder, who ignores her beauty and does not respond to her assertive and arrogant behaviour.

Though Sunder also likes her, he requests Mandakini to release him in order to find his father and solve the conspiracy in his kingdom.

Meanwhile, Chokkalingam, who is living in one of the hinterland villages with Padma the princess and the young prince, is planning a revolution along with Murugan, who serves as his spy at Vanjikottai.

After awareness of the revolution is disseminated to the masses in Vanjikottai, Chokkalingam returns to Vanjikkottai to bring down Senapathi's government.

Sunder acts as a jeweler and deceives Maharani Ranthamani Devi and Senapathi by gaining their trust.

Unable to explain his situation, Sunder asks Mandakini to watch the show along with Maharani Ranthamani Devi and Senapathi.

Meanwhile, Mandakini who escapes from Velan, joins Senapathi and divulges details of the secret place where Chokkalingam, Sunder, Padma and others are hiding.

[4] According to Ramanathan, owner of Abirami Malls, Chennai, his father V. S. Sivalingam bought the distribution rights for Vanji Kottai Valipan at a cost of ₹ 200,000 in 1956.

[5] The film suffered from too much of "process screen" or Back projection where many shots from Gemini Studios's Chandralekha were used.

The audience was pleased by the dances featuring the lead actresses; Vyjayanthimala and Padmini and the production value of the film.

[3][5] The film celebrated its 100th day theatrical run at Wellington theatre, LIC Building on 9 June 1959 with a full-packed house.

The film was shot simultaneously in Hindi as Raj Tilak with Gemini Ganesan, Vyjayanthimala and Padmini, who reprised their roles from the original.

[3] However, it was the dance sequence of Vyjayanthimala and Padmini in the song "Kannum Kannum Kalanthu", which was choreographed by Hiralal, brother of B. Sohanlal, that is still remembered even today by the critics and audience alike, where the popularity of the song surpasses the popularity garnered by the film.
