Minda Poochakku Kalyanam


Minda Poochakku Kalyanam is a 1990 Indian Malayalam-language film, directed by Alleppey Ashraf, starring Suresh Gopi and Lissy Priyadarsan in the lead roles. The film is a remake of Hindi film Chitchor. The film was heavily criticised by film critics because the climax was changed from the original, and also became a huge disaster at the box office.

Plot

Balaraman Pillai is a well-to-do villager living in Kuttanadu. He and his wife Sarasamma are looking for a suitable alliance for their younger daughter Mini. Balaraman Pillai receives a letter from his son-in-law, Ayyappan Kutty, living in Madras informing that an engineer named Kumar from his company is arriving in the village to oversee a construction project. Ayyappan Kutty suggests Kumar as a suitable groom for Mini.
Kumar arrives in the village and is received by Balaraman Pillai, who arranges accommodation for Kumar. Balaraman Pillai invites Kumar home for dinner and introduces Mini. Kumar and Mini develop a liking for each other. With encouragement from her parents, Mini and Kumar fall in love with each other.
A comic sub plot runs in parallel where the village postman Kamalasanan is in love with Chandramathi, while his friend Sahadevan is afraid of his hard talking wife Parukkutty Amma.
Balaraman Pillai receives another letter from Ayyappan Kutty stating that Kumar is not the engineer, but an overseer of the same company. This changes Balaraman Pillai and Sarasamma's attitude towards Kumar. They forbid Mini from meeting Kumar. The plot thickens as the engineer Krishnakumar arrives in the village.
