== Plot ==
Harikrishan ([[Jayaram]]) is the youngest son of Thrivikraman Muthallali ([[Narendra Prasad]]). His brothers Jayakrishnan and Gopikrishan are uneducated and unmarried. He wants to earn a good living and so sets forth to a Tamil village as manager of a courier company. Hari sees a young Tamil woman named Pavizham ([[Shobana|Shobhana]]) who is the daughter of a landlord. The two fall in love and when her father forces her to marry against her will, they elope. But they were caught and presented before naattukoottam presided over by Pavizham's father. Finally her father has no other option other than to allow their marriage.

Hari is afraid of whether or not his parents would agree to their marriage, so 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]] – [[Rajasenan]] team's ''Ayalathe Adyeham'', they planned to do another family entertainer. At this time, lyricist [[Gireesh Puthenchery]] told an interesting story to Jayaram about four bachelors with the youngest the one only educated, in a [[Corleone family|Corleone-like family]]. Jayaram, who was highly inspired by this probably untold story, decided to produce it himself. The thread was developed by Gireesh and introduced to Rajasenan. It was first developed into a novel and then to a complete film script. Jayaram suggested Goodknight Mohan distribute it. However, Mohan set an unusual demand to 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 replaced from the crew of a political film, ''Janam'', produced by Mani. C. Kappan. Kappan assured Rajasenan to produce a film for him, obviously as a compensation for his move. The shelved story of ''Meleparambil Aanveedu'' was returned by Mohan, for the reasonable amount of {{INR}}20,000. Calicut-based film writer Raghunath Paleri was selected to write the screenplay.

Gireesh initially told the story to director [[Shaji Kailas]], who turned down since he was interested in action films at that time, but 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 {{INR}}10,000.<ref>{{cite news|last=ഗോപിനാഥ്|first=വിജീഷ്|title='ആനി'യുടെ ആൺവീട്|url=http://www.manoramaonline.com/women/interviews/star-chat-with-shajikailas-and-annie.html|access-date=31 October 2017|work=[[Malayala Manorama]]|archive-url=https://archive.today/20171031083448/http://www.manoramaonline.com/women/interviews/star-chat-with-shajikailas-and-annie.html|archive-date=31 October 2017|language=ml|url-status=live}}</ref>

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

=== Filming ===
The film was initially set in [[Salem, Tamil Nadu|Salem]] in the script and was to be shot there, too. 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 more than 200 days.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://asianetindia.com/completes-25-years-in-cinema-jayaram/|title=Completes 25 years in cinema: Jayaram|work=[[Asianet (TV channel)|Asianet]]|date=1 December 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.snehasallapam.com/forum2/274-kk_vin-posters-old-malayalam-movie-paper-advertisements-nostalgic-371.html|title=kk_vin Posters – Old Malayalam Movie Paper Advertisements !!
