The film was remade in Telugu as Manchi Manasulu (1962), in Malayalam as Susheela (1963)[3] and in Hindi as Pooja Ke Phool (1964).

A Public Prosecutor, who instantly likes his good behaviour offers a portion of his house for a very low rent.

Kumaran also falls in love with her and Shanthi's father and mother, on knowing the truth that he is single, give consent and decide to get them married.

Kasilingam also has a relationship with Mallika (Mohana) from Bangalore, who keeps sending money for his expenses every month, which he spends lavishly.

Chithambaram takes a promise from Kumaran to protect Anjalai like his own daughter and then dies.

One day Shanthi lands up at the village, sees the situation and makes Kumaran realise his mistake.

Kumaran and Kumudham hear the cry and find the dead body of Mallika and Kasilingam running away.

Both Shanthi and Kumudham are shocked and plead with him but Kumaran is adamant and accepts the act of murder in the court.

Anajalai overhears this and to protect her innocent uncle, searches and locates the love letters of Mallika to Kasilingam and hands them over to Shanthi to fight the case.

Kumudham also confirms that the person who stamped her feet while rushing out of the murder spot was Kasilingam, guilty.

Realising the way everyone is working for truth and fairness including his wife, Kasilingam reforms and apologises for his mistakes to Anjalai.
