Kamaladalam is a 1992 Indian Malayalam musical drama film written by A. K. Lohithadas and directed by Sibi Malayil. It features Mohanlal, Murali, Vineeth, Nedumudi Venu, Thikkurissy Sukumaran Nair, Monisha, Parvathy, and Sukumari. It was produced by Mohanlal for Pranavam Arts.

Nandagopan (Mohanlal) is a respected dance teacher at the Kerala Kala Mandiram (alluding to the famed Kerala Kalamandalam repertory which performs Kerala's temple arts). However, his wife Sumangala (Parvathi) commits suicide, causing the hero to turn into an alcoholic and compulsive rule breaker. He is suspected of having killed his wife and is suspended form his job for drunken misbehaviour. The new secretary of the institute Velayudhan (Nedumudi Venu) wants him to be sacked but his former reputation gives him a reprieve. He trains the talented student Malavika (Monisha) to perform in his ambitious composition of the Sita Ramayanam, but her jealous young lover Soman (Vineeth) poisons and kills him.

The film was a critical and commercial success. The film had a 150-day run in Kerala. The performances of Mohanlal, Parvathy, Vineeth and Monisha were well received.. This film was one of the biggest hits in Parvathy's career and throughout the film, Parvathy's character brings more attention and sympathy to the audience. It was one of the last films acted by Monisha before her death.
