Inspired by the 1969 film If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium, it features an ensemble cast consisting of Sivakumar, Kumari Padmini, Rama Prabha, Shylashri, Manorama, Sirkazhi Govindarajan and Suruli Rajan.

It was released on 15 August 1970, emerged a commercial success, and won three Tamil Nadu State Film Awards.

Ten to twelve families from different walks of life, different age groups and different languages unite for a pilgrimage, beginning with Tirupati and going as far as Kanyakumari.

At each spot, a family is faced with a challenge that falls upon them due to their forgetfulness or irresponsibility and a reminder of such is provided.

Unlike the original, it was given a "religious twist", with its premise focusing on a group of passengers who embark on a pilgrimage across South India, visiting places like Tirupati and Madurai.
