Abhimanam: The film has the good music and some great acting from Savitri and Krishnakumari.
S.Varalaxmi role was exact opposite to the role of Savitri. She was shown the as the traditional housewife. Though she sings her own song her name does not appear in the credits as a singer. I think this is the only film she acted opposite to Relangi.
The film was released by Rajashri productions in 1960.
