Panakkara Kudumbam (Tamil: பணக்கார குடும்பம் English: Rich Family) is a Tamil language film starring M. G. Ramachandran in the lead role. The film was released in 1964 and was a commercial hit. It ran more than 100 days in all theatres in Chennai and other major cities. The climax features MGR and R.S.Manogar fighting in a moving jeep.
The film was remade in Hindi in 1970 as Humjoli, in Kannada in 1978 as Bhale Huduga, and in Telugu in 1984 as Intiguttu. All versions except Intiguttu were directed by the same director, T. R. Ramanna.
The triple role played by Nagesh was essayed by Mehmood in the Hindi version and Dwarakish in the Kannada version. Later on, the dual roles played by Nagesh in Anubavi Raja Anubavi went on to be essayed by Mehmood in its Hindi version (Do Phool) and Dwarakish in its Kannada version (Kittu Puttu).
It wasn't out of the goodness of his heart and especially not for the beauty of Radjaiyalakshimi, a young wealthy heiress, abandoned in front of the altar that Muthaiya (S.A.Asogan) got married with her, at a moment's notice, but well by opportunism.
He sees the occasion there to quench all his desires, and one of them, is to be completely in love with his lady-love, Vélahi (G.Sakunthala), to remain in the village with her younger brother, Kannaiya, the real moth!
Intoxicated by this new life which offers itself to him, Muthaiya follows Radjaiyalakshimi. Settled in the big city, she gives him a baby girl, Rani (Saroja Devi).
