​Uppum Mulakum crosses 1000; 7 reasons why the show is popular among Malayalam TV audience

The popular sitcom of Malayalam TV, 'Uppum Mulakum' has crossed the 1000 episodes recently. The show which was premiered on December 14, 2015, narrates the day-to-day life of a middle-class family with a tinge of humour and emotion. Undoubtedly, the show holds the biggest fan base for a Malayalam TV show and there are many reasons for the unbeatable success. Take a look at the top 7 reasons why the show is the favourite of Malayalam telly audience.

2/8

​Story of common people

From the usual sibling's fight to the financial crisis at home, the storyline is much relatable to the audience. 'Uppum Mulakum' depicts the day-to-day chores of Balachandran Thampi, Neelima and their 5 children.

​The realistic touch

When the television is full of high-voltage family drama, 'Uppum Mulakum' stands out with its realistic touch. Moreover, the natural acting of the star cast has helped the show to strike a chord with the audience. Be it the random blabbering of Parukutty or the signature way of Balu addressing his father-in-law Kuttan Pillai, all the characters are quite convincing.

4/8

​The right mix of humour and emotion

The show maintains the right balance between humour and emotion throughout. Even while depicting a sentimental scene, a rib-tickling one-liner from Keshu can never go wrong.

5/8

​The characters

From the one-and-a-half-year-old Parukutty to the sweet grandpa Shankaran, the show has characters from a different age group. When Mudiyan and Lechu are youngsters while, Shivani and Keshu represent typical teenagers.

6/8

​​Socially relevant content

The show not only entertain the audience but also try to portray socially relevant content in a subtle way. The episode in which the whole family was seen collecting goods for the flood-affected was even lauded by the Cheif Minister of the state.

7/8

​Family relationship

The way the show portrays family is one of the most attractive factors of the show. Even if they argue for anything and everything, Balu and Neelu are one of the most adorable couples on Malayalam TV. The storyline also flawlessly portrays the unconditional love among the 5 kids.

8/8

​The off-screen bond

The off-screen bond of the actors is one of the most interesting factors of the show. The entire cast has become more than a family in real life.
