Meenathil Thalikettu (transl. Wedding in Meenam) is a 1998 Indian Malayalam-language comedy-drama film directed by Rajan Sankaradi and written by A. K. Sajan and A. K. Santhosh from a story by Lal Jose. It features Dileep, Thilakan, Zeenath, and Jagathy Sreekumar in lead roles. The plot follows Omanakkuttan (Dileep), a 23-year-old, who is still in high school. He has to marry his friend's sister, Malu, under pressure.
Meenathil Thalikettu was based on an idea that occurred to Dileep in which "a schoolboy gets married due to circumstances".[1] This was further developed into a story by Lal Jose, while the script was written by A. K. Sajan and A. K. Santosh.[1] Sanjeev Shankar was the cinematographer, and Venugopal edited the film, which was primarily filmed in. The music was composed by Ouseppachan.[1]
The film was remade in Kannada as Kanasina Loka (2004).
