Grahasti was the first film to "start the trend" of family dramas being made in South India. The story revolves around Harish Khanna (Ashok Kumar), a respected industrialist with a large brood of children, is discovered to be leading a dual life, having two sets of families in different cities at the occasion of his daughter’s engagement. The effect the scandal and the secret has on him and his family forms the basis of the story. It is inspired and an adaptation of a Hollywood film ‘’The Remarkable Mr. Pennypacker’’ which in turn had been a successful broadway play based on a true incident of a bigamous trucker reported in The Reader’s Digest.
