What happens
Kula Deivam (transl. Family deity) is a 1956 Indian Tamil-language drama film directed by Krishnan–Panju and written by Murasoli Maran. It is a remake of the 1954 Bengali film Bhanga Gora. The film stars S. V. Sahasranamam, S. S. Rajendran and Pandari Bai, while Rajagopal, Chandrababu, S. A. Ashokan and Vijayakumari play supporting roles. The film's soundtrack and background score were composed by R. Sudarsanam. Maruthi Rao and Panju (under the alias S. Panjabi) handled cinematography and editing respectively. Kula Deivam was released on 29 September 1956, and became a commercial success, winning the National Film Award for Best Tamil Feature Film. Bhanga Gora went on to be remade in Hindi as Bhabhi, in Telugu as 'Kula Daivam' and in Kannada as Jenu Goodu. Pandari Bai reprised her role in both the versions. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
