Oru Maravathoor Kanavu (Malayalam: ഒരു മറവത്തൂർ കനവ്) is a 1998 Malayalam comedy-drama musical film directed by Lal Jose and written by Sreenivasan. It stars Mammootty, Biju Menon, Mohini, Divya Unni, Sreenivasan, Kalabhavan Mani, Sukumari and Nedumudi Venu. The music was composed by Vidyasagar.
It was the directorial debut of Lal Jose, who had previously worked as an assistant director in many Malayalam films. Playback singer Devanand also debuted through this film. The film was a box-office success.
Michael (Biju Menon), his wife Mary (Mohini) and their son buy a farmland in Maravathoor that was coveted by a rich man (Nedumudi Venu). In order to drive away all prospective buyers the rich man and his nephew Maruthu (Sreenivasan) try everything. When they realise that Michael has bought the farm, they block up a spring water source on the farm to make things hard for Michael and thus force him to sell the farm.
Michael and his family stay at the house of Annie (Divya Unni) and her grandmother (Sukumari), while they work on the farm. The farm struggles due the lack of availability of water, and due to Michael's vices (gambling and alcoholism). To support Michael, his brother Chandy (Mammootty) comes to Maravathoor. Chandy is an active party worker in Southern Kerala and acts as a muscle for his party's needs. His arrival changes the fortunes of the farm and halts the activities of Nedumudi Venu.
