Madhusudhan Rao and produced by Sunderlal Nahta and Doondy. Based on Abhimanyu, a character from the Indian epic Mahabharata, the film stars Gemini Ganesan leading an ensemble cast, including A. V. M. Rajan portraying the title character. It was simultaneously filmed in Telugu as Veerabhimanyu, with a largely different cast. The film was released on 20 August 1965, and failed commercially. PlotThe Pandava prince Arjuna explains to his pregnant wife Subhadra the nuances of entering the Padmavyuha, a deadly war-plan created by Drona. The child in her womb, Abhimanyu, listens to it. When Arjuna is about to explain how to come out of it, Krishna shows up and diverts the topic. While the Pandavas are in the Virata Kingdom during the agnaatvaas, Abhimanyu grows up at Dwaraka as a valiant warrior. While chasing Uttarakumara, Abhimanyu enters King Virata's garden and meets Uttara, and they both fall in love. Abhimanyu seeks the support of Ghatothkacha to marry Uttara. When the Pandavas' agnaatvaas ends, the marriage of Uttara and Abhimanyu is conducted. Upon returning, the Pandavas seek their share of the kingdom, but the Kaurava prince Duryodhana refuses to part with even five villages, leading to the Kurukshetra War. Drona creates the Padmavyuha to stop Abhimanyu, who is slayed by the Kauravas through deceit. To a devastated Arjuna, Krishna conveys, through his Vishvarupa, the truth about the circle of life.

ProductionVeera Abhimanyu revolves around Abhimanyu, a character in the Indian epic Mahabharata. Directed by V. Madhusudhan Rao and produced by Sunderlal Nahta and Dhoondeswara Rao under the banner Rajalakshmi Productions, it was simultaneously produced in Tamil and Telugu languages, the latter as Veerabhimanyu which featured a largely different cast.[3] In Tamil, A. V. M. Rajan played the title role of Abhimanyu, and Gemini Ganesan played Krishna.[1] Rajan and Ganesan were replaced in Telugu by Sobhan Babu and N. T. Rama Rao, respectively.[3] Kanchana played Uttara in both versions.[7][3] Since Kanchana was familiar with the story and already knew what Uttara would go through, she was comfortable when facing the camera.[2] The dialogues were written by S. I. Peruman, cinematography was handled by Ravi, the editing by N. S. Prakasam, and the art direction by S. Krishna Rao.SoundtrackThe soundtrack was composed by K. V. Mahadevan, and the lyrics were written by Kannadasan.[11] The song "Paarthen, Sirithen" is set in the carnatic raga known as Sahana.{{sfn|Sundararaman|2007|p=152}}[3] While in Tiruppur, Kannadasan was relaxing after a meal. His assistant requested him to write a "sweet song"; immediately, Kannadasan broke into the verse "Paarthen sirithen pakkathil azhaithen, anru unaithen ena naan ninaithen, andha malaithen idhuvena malaithen"; each word ended with "then", meaning honey.[4] He took inspiration from a poem by Kambar, which used the same word five times.[5] Writing for The Hindu, Sudha Balachandran praised the song's setting in the Sahana raga, and wrote that Kannadasan "penned lines with unique word-play, amazing puns and punctuated the verses with beautiful rhyming."[6] Film critic Baradwaj Rangan, who defines a "list song" as one where the "structure is that of a list, a catalogue of similar-sounding (or similar-meaning) things", called it a list of "dazzling rhymes".[7] {{Track listing| all_writing = | all_lyrics = | all_music = | headline = Tracklist | extra_column = Singer(s) | title1 = Yugam Thorum Naan | note1 = | length1 = | lyrics1 = | music1 = | writer1 = | extra1 = Sirkazhi Govindarajan | title2 = Velum Vizhiyum | note2 = | length2 = | lyrics2 = | music2 = | writer2 = | extra2 = P.

M. Ramachandran too praised the film, primarily for the cast performances, the storytelling, the sets and the trick photography.[8] The film did not succeed commercially, and distributors blamed the producers for casting Ganesan (instead of Rama Rao) as Krishna.[3]References1. ^{{Cite news |url=http://www.ft.lk/columns/kaadhal-mannan-gemini-ganesan-romantic-actor-king-of-tamil-cinema/4-444263 |title=“Kaadhal Mannan” Gemini Ganesan, romantic actor king of Tamil cinema |last=Jeyaraj |first=D.
