Plot

Harikrishan is the youngest son of Thiruvikraman Muthallali. His brothers Jayakrishnan and Gopikrishan are uneducated and unmarried. Hari wants to earn a good living and sets forth to a Tamil village as a courier company's manager. He sees a young Tamil woman named Pavizham who is the daughter of a landlord, Pollachi Gounder. The landlord initially is fond of Harikrishnan, but Pavizham's cousin, Marimuthu, hates him. Pavizham and Hari get to know one another, and the two fall in love. However, her father desires another groom and potentially Marimuthu. When her father forces her to marry against her will, Hari and Pavizham elope. They are caught and presented before the naattukoottam (panchayat) presided over by Pavizham's father, since he is considered the "nattamai" of the village. Finally, out of his love for his daughter, Gounder issues a "theerpu" and presents a thaali (wedding knot) for Hari to tie around Pavizham's neck as a finalization of marriage between the two.

Hari is scared whether his parents will accept their marriage. Hence, he keeps Pavizham undercover as a maid in his home. When Hari goes away on business, his parents realize that Pavizham is pregnant and decide to dismiss her from her job. When Hari returns home, he is forced to reveal that Pavizham is his wife. Hari's mother, who likes Pavizham, scolds Hari for keeping his wife as a servant. She and her husband express their willingness to accept Pavizham as their daughter-in-law.

Production

Development

After the success of Jayaram and Rajasenan Ayalathe Adyeham (1992), they planned to do another family entertainer. Lyricist Gireesh Puthenchery told Jayaram a story about four bachelors with the youngest, the only one educated, in a Corleone-like family. Jayaram, who was highly inspired by this story, decided to produce it himself. The thread was developed by Puthenchery and introduced to Rajasenan. It was first developed into a novel and then into a complete movie script. Jayaram suggested Goodknight Mohan distribute it. However, Mohan set an unusual demand on Rajasenan, to include some experienced directors to supervise him on script. This was unacceptable to Rajasenan and the project was shelved. At this time, Rajasenan was displaced from the crew of a political film, Janam, produced by Mani. C. Kappan. Kappan assured Rajasenan to produce a film for him, as compensation for his move. The shelved story of Meleparambil Aanveedu was returned by Mohan, for an amount of ₹20,000. Calicut-based film writer, Raghunath Paleri, was selected to write the screenplay. Gireesh initially told the story to the director Shaji Kailas, who turned it down since he was interested in action films back then and offered to direct it some other time. Later, Kailas invited producer Goodknight Mohan to the film and after Gireesh briefed the story, Mohan immediately gave an advance of ₹10,000.^[3]

Casting

The originally decided cast included Jayaram, along with Shobhana, Meena, Jagathy Sreekumar, Oduvil Unnikrishnan etc. Vijayaraghavan was later signed in to do the mostly serious character in the film. Narendra Prasad, who was typecast for villain roles, was selected later. Innocent was originally cast for the role by Janardhanan. He rejected the offer as he was busy with another film, Sakshal Sreeman Chathunni. Janardhanan, widely known for his villain roles, was thus selected to do the comedy role. The others in the cast are Vinu Chakravarthy, Priyanka etc.

Filming

The film was initially set in Salem in the script and was to be shot there. However, a practical change was made to replace Salem with Pollachi, both in the script as well as the filming location.

Box office

The film was a commercial success and ran for more than 200 days.^[4]^[5]^[6]

Soundtrack

The soundtrack for the film was composed by Johnson Master and lyrics penned by Girish Puthenchery, I.S. Kundoor, and Kavinjar Kaalidasan. It proved popular upon release.
