The film was made on a then <a href="/wiki/Low-budget_film" title="Low-budget film">shoestring budget</a> of ₹1.5 million, and the whole crew worked for 35 days. The cinematography was handled by N. Balakrishnan and the editing was done by A. Paul Duraisingham. </p><p><i>Samsaram Adhu Minsaram</i> released on 18 July 1986. The film received critical acclaim and ran for 25 weeks in theatres.

As Ammaiyappan struggles to manage the needs of his <a href="/wiki/Extended_family" title="Extended family">joint family</a> with his meagre income, his two elder sons supplement it by contributing to the family kitty. He plans to get Sarojini married and invites the prospective groom's family for a prenuptial meeting. </p><p>The conceited Sarojini rebukes the guests and declares her plan to marry her colleague Peter Fernandez. The entire family initially opposes her decision as they are <a href="/wiki/Hinduism" title="Hinduism">Hindus</a> and Peter is a <a href="/wiki/Christianity_in_Tamil_Nadu" title="Christianity in Tamil Nadu">Christian</a>. Ammaiyappan meets with Peter's father, Albert, and realises that they are genuine humans, and both families ultimately agree on the wedding. Ammaiyappan meets and apologises to the rejected groom's father. Impressed with Ammaiyappan and his family, he offers to get his daughter Vasantha married to Siva. Both weddings take place happily. Uma, pregnant with her first child, goes to her maternal home to deliver the child. </p><p>Bharathi fails his twelfth-grade exams for the fourth time and is beaten severely by Siva. Later, he vows to pass within a year and seeks help from Vasantha, a graduate. But within weeks, Vasantha struggles to adjust to the new environment as she gets little privacy to be with Siva Bharathi seeks her help for tutoring even late at night, and the family chores keep her busy in the day. Unable to cope, she returns to her father one early morning without informing anyone. Sarojini returns the same morning to Ammaiyappan after a fight with Peter as she prioritises socializing over domestic responsibilities. Siva visits Vasantha's father, who is criticising Vasantha. The duo then walks home when Siva tells her to wait a few more months for privacy or let go of him. Vasantha returns to Siva's home while Siva leaves for work. </p><p>That same day, Chidambaram halves his monthly contribution to the family, citing Uma's absence. An argument erupts between him and Ammaiyappan. Upset with Chidambaram's tightfistedness on spending money for his siblings and parents, Ammaiyappan orders him to vacate the house. In turn, Chidambaram demands the <span style="white-space: nowrap">₹</span>18000 he had spent for Sarojini's wedding with interest for him to leave. Deeply insulted, Ammaiyappan draws a white line splitting the house into two halves, and announces that neither side should cross it or communicate with members of the other side. He also declares Chidambaram's family has to reside on one side, and Ammaiyappan will pay a net sum of <span style="white-space: nowrap">₹</span>20000 within 12 months for Chidambaram to vacate the house. The only person with access to both sides is the maidservant, Kannamma. </p><p>Uma later returns with her child and is shocked by the developments at home. She is sad to see Sarojini back and an unhappy Vasantha. Uma takes the help of Albert and Kannamma to reunite Sarojini and Peter and advises Siva to take Vasantha on a sojourn to rejuvenate his relationship with his wife. Bharathi also passes his exams. Though the problems are sorted out, Uma is upset that her brothers-in-law are still abiding by their father's order and not talking to her. Kannamma cajoles Ammaiyappan not to be very adamant and forgive his son. </p><p>Meanwhile, Chidambaram ends up spending more money per head for his small family after the separation than he allocated when they were together with the extended family. So he reconsiders his decision to live separately and decides to reunite with his father. However, Uma disagrees, as once the bonding is broken for the sake of money, it cannot be restored precisely to its original state. She states that they may not rejoin for the sake of money, and any bonding should be based on unconditional love. She recommends living separately but on talking terms, celebrating weekends and festivals with Ammaiyappan's family as the best way to live peacefully, to which her husband agrees, and they move out in the same evening. The film ends with a short "Samsaram Adhu Minsaram" song. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Samsaram_Adhu_Minsaram&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 25em;min-width: min(25em, 100%);"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Visu" title="Visu">Visu</a> as Ammaiyappan Mudaliar (director)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Lakshmi_(actress)" title="Lakshmi (actress)">Lakshmi</a> as Uma<sup id="cite_ref-Appave_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Appave-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Vagai_Chandrasekhar" title="Vagai Chandrasekhar">Chandrasekhar</a> as Siva<sup id="cite_ref-Appave_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Appave-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Kishmu" title="Kishmu">Kishmu</a> as Albert Fernandes<sup id="cite_ref-SouthScope_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-SouthScope-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Raghuvaran" title="Raghuvaran">Raghuvaran</a> as Chidambaran<sup id="cite_ref-Appave_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Appave-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Delhi_Ganesh" title="Delhi Ganesh">Delhi Ganesh</a> as Vasantha's father<sup id="cite_ref-Vikatan_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Vikatan-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ilavarasi" title="Ilavarasi">Ilavarasi</a> as Sarojini<sup id="cite_ref-Appave_2-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Appave-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Manorama_(Tamil_actress)" title="Manorama (Tamil actress)">Manorama</a> as Kannamma<sup id="cite_ref-SouthScope_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-SouthScope-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Madhuri_(Tamil_actress)" title="Madhuri (Tamil actress)">Madhuri</a> as Vasantha<sup id="cite_ref-Appave_2-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Appave-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Kamala_Kamesh" title="Kamala Kamesh">Kamala Kamesh</a> as Godavari<sup id="cite_ref-Appave_2-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Appave-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li><a href="/wiki/R._Dilip_(Tamil_actor)" title="R.
