==Plot==
A couple, Sethulakshmi and Vinod, lose their daughter in an accident. The family was traveling in a boat and the couple's daughter goes the top of the boat to play with her doll. The other children throw her doll into the water, making her jump into the water. The couple search for the girl but in vain. They find her floating in the water, which comes as a big shock to Sethu.

Years later, Vinod decides to adopt a girl named Tintu. Sethu didn't want to adopt a child. Still, Vinod forces Sethu to see Tintu in the orphanage. Sethu refuses, as she lost her child and doesn’t want any more. Vinod makes her understand, and Sethu agrees. They adopt Tintu.

After Tintu is brought into the home, the couple become happy as earlier. But problems arise when Alex asks for the child, claiming it to be his wife's child as a result of an affair before their marriage. Initially Sethu refuses, but later gives the child to her real mother.

==Original title==
The film's original title was ''Ente Mamattukkuttiyammakku'', but due to printing mistake it came out as ''Ente Mamattikkuttiyammakku'' in posters and publicity materials. Fazil heard the name Mamoottamma from a household in Northern [[Kerala]]. He modified that name to create the character Mamattukkuttiyamma.<ref>{{cite news|last=ശങ്കർ|first=അനൂപ്|title=മലയാളികൾ മറക്കില്ല മാമാട്ടിക്കുട്ടിയെ : Superhit Movies|url=https://www.deepika.com/cinema/Super-Hit-Movies.aspx?Malayalam-movie-Ente-mamattikuttiyammaykku&ID=2321|access-date=22 July 2019|work=[[Deepika (newspaper)|Deepika]]|date=7 September 2018|language=ml}}</ref> Fazil selected Shalini for the title role immediately after he saw her photograph shown by someone in the production crew. She was three years old when she acted in the film. Although Shalini had already made her debut in ''[[Aadyathe Anuraagam]],'' it was ''Ente Mamattukkuttiyammakku'' that gave her recognition. "Baby Shalini" became a successful child artist and she appeared in similar roles in her subsequent films.<ref>{{cite news|last=Soman|first=Litty|title=35 years of Baby Shalini's 'Ente Mamattykkuttiyammakku'|url=https://english.manoramaonline.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/2018/10/07/ente-mamattukkuttiyammakku-fazil-shalini-gopy-movie.html|access-date=23 July 2019|work=[[Malayala Manorama]]|date=7 October 2018}}</ref>
