Marimayam (transl. Deceit) is an Indian Malayalam language sitcom television serial airing on Mazhavil Manorama since 5 November 2011. Marimayam comedians enact satirical sketches describing the typical scenarios observed at government institutions and societal trials faced by the common man. The show stars Manikandan Pattambi, Vinod Kovoor, Sneha Sreekumar, Niyas Backer, Riyas Narmakala, Mani Shornur and Salim Hasan in lead roles.[3][4][5][6][7]
The show had crossover episodes twice; in 2016 and 2021 with Thatteem Mutteem, a family comedy sitcom series broadcast over the weekend on the same channel. The titles of the special episodes were like a combination of the titles of both series; "Marithatteem Mayammutteem" and "Thatteem Mayam Mutteem Mayam" in 2016 and 2021 respectively. All the special episodes were a backdrop to Onam celebrations.
