Kasalavu Nesam is a 1999 Tamil comedy television series directed by K. Balachander starring Venu Arvind. The series aired on Sun TV and Raj TV, and is referred to as among Balachander's "most memorable".

## Plot

Gautam (Venu Arvind) is unemployed and when all his efforts in securing a job fail miserably, his friend recommends him for a job with a large business magnate. The catch is that in order to get the job, Gautam must marry the boss' dark-complexioned daughter. Against his better judgement, he marries her, but her lack of beauty makes him cringe. As fate would have it, he falls in love with a beautiful ghazal singer. Soon thereafter, his wife passes away. The coast now being clear, Gautam happily marries the ghazal singer. However, his happiness is short-lived as he soon realizes that he now has two fathers-in-law. Life becomes miserable for Gautam with both his fathers-in-law enforcing their influence and their crazy ideas to his everyday life. Gautam laments that one can afford to have two living wives, but not two living fathers-in-law. To make matters worse, Gautam's first wife returns as a spirit. With the constant appearance of the first wife's spirit, visible only to Gautam, events take a more uproarious turn. A series of mind-boggling comic interludes develop and utter confusion reins amidst the family members.
