Mangalam Veettil Maanaseshwari Gupta is a 1995 Malayalam-language romantic comedy-drama exploring traditional values and youthful rebellion within a Kerala household. The plot centers on Maya Surendran, a young woman who returns from Mumbai to her ancestral home, Mangalam Veedu, where her loving but traditional grandfather Muthachan is eager to arrange her marriage to a suitable groom. Unbeknownst to her family, Maya is already secretly married to Jayadevan, a photographer, setting the stage for a cascade of comedic misunderstandings and emotional conflicts as the truth edges toward revelation.
The film features an ensemble cast led by Jayaram as Jayadevan and Vani Viswanath as Maya Surendran, supported by celebrated actors including Narendra Prasad as Muthachan, Innocent as Narayanankutty, Janardanan, K.P.A.C. Lalitha, Jagathy Sreekumar, Mammukoya, Indrans, Cochin Hanifa, and others. The screenplay was written by Mani C. Kappan and Reghunath Paleri, while the direction was handled by Suresh Vinu.
