Movie Connection(s):
Dubbed into: Andhra Alludu (Telugu)
Remade as: Mappillai (Tamil)
Remake of: Athaku Yamudu Ammayiki Mogudu (Telugu)
Trivia:
It is a remake of the Telugu film "Athaku Yamudu Ammayiki Mogudu", the Tamil version was produced by Geetha Arts, and Chiranjeevi who played the lead role in the original version made a special appearance.

Initially the pivotal role of Rajinikanth's mother-in-law was offered to 'Vyjayanthimala'. But she refused the role after which it was offered to 'Srividya'.

The one-on-one confrontations between Rajinikanth and Srividya are the highpoints of the movie and each of these has been handled superlatively. Rajinikanth bristles with energy during their meetings and Srividya is suitably haughty and hits all the right notes. Their first encounter in her house, their private conversation immediately after the wedding and their talk in the garden before the climax in the house all reveal excellent execution by the director.

The film opened to positive response from the public and was a Mega hit Blockbuster movie ran 200 days at the Box-office history of Tamil cinema 890 shows were houseful.
