Cast
Production
K. Ramnoth, who had left Gemini Studios on 15 August 1947, worked for Narayanan & Company, for which he made the film Thai Ullam, an adaptation of the novel East Lynne by Henry Wood. While R. S. Manohar was cast as the male lead, T. S. Balaiah was considered for playing the antagonist. He however opted out of the project after demanding a salary of ₹75,000, which he was refused. Subsequently, he was replaced by a then struggling actor named R. Ganesh, who later became known as Gemini Ganesan. The film became a major breakthrough for Ganesan, who would later become a part of the "Big Three" of Tamil cinema, the other two being Sivaji Ganesan and M. G. Ramachandran.
Soundtrack
The songs were composed by Nagaiah and A. Rama Rao, with lyrics by Kanakasurabhi, Subramania Bharati and Kavimani Desigavinayagam Pillai.
Reception
Film historian Randor Guy called Thai Ullam a "cinematic masterpiece", and concluded that the film would be "Remembered for: melodious music, especially hit tunes by the inimitable MLV."
