Veeranganai [1] is a 1964 Indian Tamil-language historical action film directed by A. S. A. Sami. The film stars Gemini Ganesan and Padmini.[2] It was released on 22 August 1964.
Lakshmi Devi is a princess whose kingdom is threatened by a tyrant from another kingdom.
The female lead character Lakshmi Devi is a fictionalised version of Rani Lakshmi Bai, while the Chinese-looking antagonist is an allusion to the Sino-Indian War.
The music was composed by Vedha.[3]
Veeranganai was released on 22 August 1964.[4] The Indian Express wrote that the film "really does not lack valour. In fact it has much of it, rather too much, thanks to stock shots and well-taken fencing sequences. Minus these, it is somewhat damp and at time, childish. Nevertheless, in its class, the film is better than many others".[5] Kalki also reviewed the film.[6]
