P. Leela sang songs from "Missamma" in many concerts to a warm response. "Njaan Ariyathen", from the Malayalam-language film "Jailppulli" (1957), is loosely based on "Brindavanamadi Andaridi Govindudu Andarivadele". Prasad and Chakrapani later collaborated on "Appu Chesi Pappu Koodu" (1959), an above-average grosser before its profitable re-release. In their 2013 book, "Routledge Handbook of Indian Cinemas", K. Moti Gokulsing and Wimal Dissanayake wrote that "Appu Chesi Pappu Koodu", "Missamma", "Gundamma Katha" (1962) and "Ramudu Bheemudu" (1964) "represented the scope comedy had in the 1950s and '60s." The storyline of "Marunnattil Oru Malayali" (1971) was noted for its similarity to "Missamma", since its female lead (a Christian) acts like a Brahmin girl. According to B. Vijayakumar of "The Hindu", this prompted Chakrapani to remake the film in Telugu as "Sri Rajeswari Vilas Coffee Club" in 1976.
