'''Madhu Muttom''' is an Indian screenwriter from [[Kerala]]. His second film as a screenwriter was the critically acclaimed Malayalam blockbuster ''[[Manichitrathazhu]]'' (1993) which was huge commercial success in Kerala. The film fetched [[Sobhana]] the National Award for Best Actress. The film was remade in [[Cinema of Karnataka|Kannada]] as ''[[Apthamitra]]'' and in [[Tamil films|Tamil]] as ''[[Chandramukhi]]'', and finally in Hindi as ''[[Bhool Bhulaiyaa]]''.<br />
<br />
Madhu Muttom was born as the only child to Kunju Panicker, a farmer in [[Haripad]]. His father died when he was 13. His mother also died a few years ago. Madhu Muttom is unmarried and currently lives alone in the village of Muttom in [[Haripad]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.puzha.com/puzha/cgi-bin/generate-article.cgi?channel=magazine&article_xml=archive%2Finterview_mar1_07.xml&gen_type=printer&work_type=regular |title=Archived copy |access-date=21 March 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222145206/http://www.puzha.com/puzha/cgi-bin/generate-article.cgi?channel=magazine&article_xml=archive%2Finterview_mar1_07.xml&gen_type=printer&work_type=regular |archive-date=22 February 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref><br />
<br />
Madhu's first film, ''[[Kakkothikkavile Appooppan Thaadikal]]'' (1986) was also a hit. Madhu Muttom is a scriptwriter who entered the history of Malayalam cinema with his work in a single film. The phenomenal success in box office and among critics of his earlier film ''Manichithrathaazhu'' in 1994 is largely credited to Madhu Muttom, who remained silent for too long even after such a hit. Madhu tried a comeback in 2007 with a science fiction film - a rare breed in Mollywood. The film titled ''Bharathan'' is the second venture by the director [[Anil Das]] who debuted by ''[[Sargavasantham]]'' in 1995. [[Bharathan Effect]] was however blasted by the critics and became a [[box office bomb]]. He is currently residing in Muttom, his home-town, away from lime light.<br />
