It was remade in Telugu as Aatma Bandhuvu (1962), with Ranga Rao and Kannamba reprising their roles,[2] and in Hindi by Bhimsingh as Mehrban (1967).

[3] Rao Bahadur Chandrasekar, a wealthy stockbroker, lives with his wife Parvathi, three sons (Thyagu, Sridhar and Raghu), their wives and two daughters (one widowed and another unmarried).

Understanding the situation, Chandrasekar and Parvathi forcibly send Rangan and Lakshmi away to enable them to live in peace, away from the turmoil.

[7] After producer N. Krishnasamy bought the rights to remake the film in Tamil, he approached C. V. Sridhar to write the dialogues.

Sridhar, after watching Jog Biyog, declined Krishnasamy's offer, citing scheduling conflicts and concealing his dislike of the film, and instead recommended his then assistant K. S. Gopalakrishnan.

The producer initially wanted a glamorous actress to play the female lead, but Gopalakrishnan suggested Sowcar Janaki and threatened to leave if she was not signed.

[15] Kanthan of Kalki appreciated Gopalakrishnan's dialogues and the performances of the various cast members, including Ganesan's, but criticised the music, saying "Ore Oru Oorile" was the only memorable song.

[5] Ananda Vikatan said that though everyone did a good job, it was Ganesan's acting which stays in their eyes even after the reviewer left the theatre.

Films which followed the trend include Muthu Engal Sothu (1983), Vaazhkai (1984), Per Sollum Pillai (1987) and Ponmana Selvan (1989).
