Anbu Engey (தமிழ்': அன்பு எங்கே? English: Where is the love?) is a 1958 black-and-white Indian Tamil drama film, directed by D. Yoganand and produced by V. Govindarajan.

Plot[edit]

The story revolves around a rich man (S. V. Ranga Rao) who has two sons (K. Balaji and S. S. Rajendran) and a daughter (Mynavathi). The father is a gambler and the elder son (Balaji) is a womaniser and alcoholic. He, however, ends up marrying a traditional woman (Pandari Bai), who takes it upon herself to reform the family. The family maid (Devika) takes care of the younger son (Rajendran) and the two get married, with the blessings of the family.[1]
