What happens

Kuzhandaiyum Deivamum (transl. Child and God) is a 1965 Indian Tamil-language children's drama film directed by Krishnan–Panju and written by Javar Seetharaman. It is based on the American film The Parent Trap (1961) which in turn was based on Erich Kästner's 1949 German novel Lisa and Lottie (German: Das doppelte Lottchen). The film stars Jaishankar and Jamuna, with Nagesh, Sundarrajan, G. Varalakshmi, Santha, Kutty Padmini, M. S. S. Bhagayam and V. R. Thilagam in supporting roles. It revolves around a couple who separate, and the efforts of their twin daughters to reunite them. Kuzhandaiyum Deivamum was produced by A. V. Meiyappan via AVM Productions, photographed by S. Maruti Rao and G. Vittal Rao, edited by Panju and features music by M. S. Viswanathan. The film was released on 19 November 1965, became a commercial success, and won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Tamil. Krishnan–Panju remade the film twice; in Telugu as Leta Manasulu (1966) and in Hindi as Do Kaliyan (1967). It was also remade in Malayalam as Sethubandhanam (1974) and in Kannada as Makkala Bhagya (1976). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
