The second season of the show began broadcast on 13 June 2022. Juhi Rustagi, who previously had left the show in January 2020 when it reached 1013 episodes came back to the show in the second season.[4] Uppum Mulakum is one of the most popular and longest running Malayalam sitcoms that has been acclaimed throughout its run.[5][6][7] The show won the Kerala State Television Award for Best Comedy Show in 2017.[8]

Plot summary[edit]

The sitcom revolves around the family of Balu; a self-employed electronics technician, his wife Neelu, who works as an accountant in a private firm, and their five children: Vishnu who's called "Mudiyan" by his family's due to his hair, Lakshmi "Lechu", Keshav "Keshu", Shivani "Shiva" and Parvathi "Parukutty". The family is usually referred to as Paramada Veedu.

Vishnu is a new-generation, lively dancer. Earlier he was often teased by his siblings for failing in his BSc examinations. He is Neelu's eldest and favorite son. He has a dance group. His hairstyle makes him a popular character. He even took care of his baby sister when no one was at home. In episode 803, he passed his BSc, which made the family happy, and thanks to Meenu his friend, Vishnu got a job at an advertisement company with an income. He lost the job later and currently works in a private bank.

Lechu is the lazy, beauty-conscious eldest daughter of the family. She often teases her younger siblings. She loves writing poems and singing. She is always seen chatting with her friends. Later she joined for B.Com. She married a naval officer, Sidharth in episode 1011 and was last seen in season 1 during the 1013th episode (This was due to Juhi Rustagi leaving the show). She came back in season 2 and it was revealed that Lechu's husband now works abroad so that she can stay with her parents.

Keshu and Shiva are the school-going kids of the house. Keshu is a foodie while Shiva doesn't enjoy eating. Both are naughty but they share an unbreakable bond with each other. They make naughty plans together and Lechu always gets threatened by them. All of them love each other even though they keep fighting all day.

They are eventually joined by Parukutty, the baby of the family. She is an adorable baby who has won the hearts of her family members. She was born in episode 604.

They are occasionally visited by Balu's brother Surendran Thambi, his parents Madhavan Thambi and Sharada, his aunt, his cousin Rema, Rema's husband Jayanthan, Rema's father (Balu's relative) Shankaran Thambi, Neelu's parents Kuttan Pillai and Bhavani Amma. Their neighbors Bhasi, Nawas, Shukoor, newspaper boy Kannan, auto-rickshaw driver Chandran, Chandran's wife Kanakam (who is the daughter of Balu's distant relative) also make appearances. Neelima's brother Sreekkuttan (played by S. P. Sreekumar) also made appearances during the early episodes of the show. Vishnu's friends Jerry, Meenakshi, and Jennah along with Lechu's friend Gayathri also make certain appearances.

They visit Paramada Veedu and sometimes stay there. Some episodes are even taking place at their places called Shoolamkudi house at Neyyattinkara in Thiruvananthapuram and Padavalam Veedu at Piravom in Ernakulam. This too highlights Trivandrum vs Kochi in a comic manner as it is seen in common disputes between Balu and Neelu

Balu's brother Surendran who runs a grocery shop in Neyyattinkara is a soft person and Balu often ridicules him.

Shankaran (Shankara Annan)is a drunkard who is loved by everyone in the family. His daughter Rema is Balu's cousin and is married to Jayanthan who is a jobless politician. Both of them have silly fights which are often resolved by Balu and Neelu.

In episode number 368, the character of Autodriver Chandran was introduced. He later becomes a close friend of the Paramada family. Eventually, in episode 850, he marries Kanakam, a distant relative of Balu who hails from Tamil Nadu.

During the lockdown period due to COVID-19, the family started a YouTube channel named Padavalam vs Shoolamkudi and their first video became viral and created two more videos of which one was a story and the other one was a dance by Chittappan. Eventually, in episode 1091 a new character named Pooja Jayaram was introduced. She is a fan of Mudiyan, who loves him and she wants to marry him. In episode 1164, the character named Sreeraj who was mentioned since the beginning of the show was introduced. Sreeraj is the eldest brother of Neelu who is settled in Chennai with his family.

Production[edit]

Season 1[edit]

Nisha Sarang was offered the role of Neelima when she was doing the cookery show Kuttikkalavara on Flowers.[9] Except for Sarang, all other principal actors were beginners in television. Theatre actor Biju Sopanam had earlier acted under R. Unnikrishnan's directorial in Back Benchers, a comedy serial on Amrita TV. He was offered the role of Balachandran Thampi. Biju was keen on working with Unnikrishnan ever since he watched his directorial sitcom Marimayam on Mazhavil Manorama, he wanted to do such roles that are close to reality. Uppum Mulakum was his second television appearance and the first leading role.[10] Unnikrishnan called Rishi S. Kumar for the role of Vishnu after seeing him in the reality TV show D 4 Dance on Mazhavil Manorama, in which he was a contestant. It was Unnikrishnan's son who recommended him.[11] Al Sabith and Shivani Menon were also picked from reality TV show, they were both contestants on the show Kuttikkalavara on Flowers. Shivani is one month elder than Al Sabith, but it is the other way in the show. Juhi Rustagi was Unnikrishnan's son's friend, they first met on his son's birthday party and few days later she was offered the role of Lachu.[12]

Biju's real-life brother, Binoj, who is five years younger than him, portrays his brother Surendran Thampy on the show.[13] Biju's real-life daughter Gouri Lakshmi portrays his niece Kanmani, Surendran's daughter.[14] The show was filmed at a house named Paramada Veedu in Vazhakkala, Kochi.[15] In July 2018, R. Unnikrishnan was replaced by cinematographer S.J Sinu as the show's director. Later Pradheep Madhav was choosen as the director of the show.

Final episodes[edit]

Uppum Mulakum's rating began to drop slightly when Juhi Rustagi left the show in January 2020.[16] When the show started back its production after several months of lockdown due to COVID-19 pandemic, a new character called Pooja Jayaram was introduced. Still the show did not managed to get back the rating like that of in its earlier days. Around the same time, Flowers TV launched another sitcom called Chakkappazham in August 2020.[17] After airing the last episode on 15 January 2021, Uppum Mulakum stopped its broadcast.[18] Flowers TV managing director Sreekandan Nair later announced that the show would undergo an hiatus for an extended period of time.[19] But in February 2021, it was unofficially confirmed by the fans that the show is not on hiatus and has been cancelled.[20] Later in March 2021, Biju Sopanam and Nisha Sarangh finally revealed through social media that the show has been officially cancelled by the channel thus making the 1206th episode aired on 15 January as its final episode.[21]

Season 2[edit]

During the 1 June 2022 episode of "Flowers Oru Kodi", Nair announced that the second season of Uppum Mulakum is under development and will start broadcast on 13 June 2022.[22] They also released a teaser of the second season on the channel and social media announcing the same. The show's creator and initial director R. Unnikrishnan was bought back in the director role. Juhi Rustagi, who left the show in January 2020 also made a comeback.[23] The first episode of the second season was premiered on 13 June 2022 and it became number one trending topic on youtube.[24]
