Murappennu is a 1965 Malayalam-language drama film directed by A. Vincent and written by M. T. Vasudevan Nair.

The film stars Prem Nazir in the lead role with an ensemble supporting cast including Sharada, Madhu, Jyothilakshmi, K. P. Ummer, P. J. Antony, Jyothilakshmi and Adoor Bhasi playing the pivotal roles.

The film was the first part of Nair's trilogy of political melodramas – the other two being P. Bhaskaran's Iruttinte Athmavu (1967) and Vincent's Asuravithu (1968).

Kochammini and Kesavankutty meet surreptitiously, which Balan doesn't like as he feels they may do something and ruin the family name.

But after the wedding, Menon doesn't keep his word and fixes Kesavankutty's marriage with a girl from a wealthy family.

Balan reaches out to Aniyan for the dowry money, but he feigns inability to gather the funds.

Angered at the situation, Bhagi walks out of her house, reaches Balan, and gives him her jewelry to pawn for money.

At the village, hearing the preparation of Kesavan's wedding, Balan storms into his house and convinces Kesavankutty to marry Kochammini.
