Plot

Murali, also known as 'Idhayam' Murali by his friends as he is like the emotional lead character from the film, '' Idhayam'' (1991), rings his friends, Vinoth and Kishore informing them that he is going to commit suicide, as he is not able to bear the engagement of his college mate, Madhu, with whom Murali has feelings of one-sided love. In an attempt to stop his suicide, Vinoth and Kishore request that Madhu speak badly about Murali, which Madhu does hesitantly. On hearing this, Murali feels outraged and cancels his suicide attempt. He also believes that Madhu is ill-mannered. However, he blabbers about Madhu and how he loved her, which slightly moves Madhu. The marriage is postponed by a year. One year later, life moves on and Kishore invites Vinoth and Murali to his wedding. However, Vinoth is injured in an accident, so, Murali attends the marriage and also performs with his music crew, "Meyadha Maan." Murali meets Madhu and they pick up a quarrel over a room allotment. Murali walks out of the marriage after understanding that both Vinoth and Kishore are hell bent on ensuring that he does not torture Madhu during the marriage. Madhu is pained to hear that Murali still does not know about the drama on that suicide night. Meanwhile, Sudarvizhi, Murali's sister learns about her brother's one sided love for Madhu and falls in love with Vinoth. She ensures a fall out with Vinoth as he refuses to see her other than as a sister. Murali learns that Sudarvizhi is in love with Vinoth and happily assures her that he will ensure that she is married to Vinoth. Vinoth does not know about Sudarvizhi's love and feels that she had quarrelled with him as she was suffering from trauma due to a fever and a headache. One day, Vinoth meets Madhu and thanks her for her noble gesture. Suddenly Madhu falls unconscious. Vinoth admits her to a hospital and is rushing to fetch money for her treatment. Murali is suspicious that Vinoth has fallen in love with someone and follows him to the hospital. Murali gets upset when he sees his friend aiding the treatment of Madhu, whom he believes is his sworn enemy. Subsequently, Murali learns about the drama played by Vinoth and attacks him furiously for making him believe that Madhu is an ill-mannered person. In a jiffy, he starts rejoicing as he realises that Madhu is not ill-mannered and is still not married. A few days later, Murali finds Madhu falling unconscious and brings her home safely. Soon, Madhu and Murali bury the past and develop a friendship which enrages Madhu's father. Madhu's brother invites Murali for a family function to show him his place. Murali gleefully accepts the invitation. While he enthralls Madhumitha and children by his presence, Madhu's parents are irritated by his presence. Madhu comes to Murali's home the next day to shout at him for accepting the veiled invitation from his family. However she bonds with Sudarvizhi easily and has a good time at Murali's house. Suddenly, Vinoth brings in a marriage alliance for Sudarvizhi. Murali rejects the alliance saying that he has decided to marry his sister to Vinoth. This shocks Vinoth and he is even shocked to see Madhu in Murali's house. Vinoth walks away angrily from Murali's house. Madhu persuades Murali to talk with Vinoth and gives him an idea to unite Vinoth and Sudarvizhi. The idea works well and Vinoth reciprocates Sudarvizhi's love. Eventually Madhu informs Murali that she is in love with Murali. Madhu's father finds them as a pair and he hastens Madhu's arranged marriage ceremony with a different groom. Murali and Madhu plan to stop the marriage by having premarital intercourse, but they both pick up a quarrel while executing their plan in midway and part ways. Madhu gets ready for marriage, while Murali vows to complete Sudarvizhi's marriage before her marriage. After a few interesting twists and turns, Vinoth marries Sudarvizhi and Madhu reveals that she got pregnant by Murali through the earlier plan of stopping the arranged marriage ceremony. Madhu later ends up attempting to commit suicide as Murali refuses to marry her. As the credits roll, Madhu and Murali sign the marriage papers in the register office and the movie ends with Murali singing on stage with his wife Madhu recording his performance.

Casting

Rathna Kumar wrote the first draft of the feature film keeping Sananth, who had starred in the short film, in mind. However, the producers opted against signing a relative newcomer and chose Vaibhav to portray the lead role. To prepare for his role, Vaibhav observed the emotions and body language of real stage singers by watching videos. As Roshni Abraham, who was then a corporate employee had chosen not to become a feature film actress, Rathna Kumar discussed the leading female role with

Release

The film's initial theatrical release of 17 November 2017, came as a result of the strike announced by

'' (2017), got delayed. The producers and distributors felt that moving the release forward to coincide with the festival would garner larger audiences and also the spillover audiences from ''Mersal'' would instead choose to see ''Meyaadha Maan''. After the strike ended on 12 October, the producers announced for a theatrical release on 18 October 2017.


Screening

The film opened to 100 screens across Tamil Nadu, but with positive feedback from critics and audiences, it resulted in a steady growth in the number of screens across Tamil Nadu, Malaysia and Singapore within days of the film's release. Some trade analysts believed that the film benefited not only from the word-of-mouth but also due to the unique promotional ways initiated by producers which resulted in the good exposure among audiences.


Re-release

The film saw a re-release on 7 March 2018. It opened in more than 75 theatres which is the highest for a re-release film.


Marketing and distribution

The teaser trailer of the film was released by actor

through his Twitter handle in late July 2017. As a part of the film's promotions, the makers dubbed the film as "Royapurathu La La Land" (''La La Land'' in Royapuram) and released posters and captions on the trailer to depict the film in that particular way. Critics believed that the promotion is a result of the film which explored the similar themes comparing with the 2016 American film of the same name, as both films are of musical romantic genre. The distribution rights of ''Meyaadha Maan'' were acquired by Rockfort Entertainment.
