Melnaattu Marumagal (transl. Western Daughter-in-law) is a 1975 Indian Tamil-language film directed by A. P. Nagarajan, starring Sivakumar, Laurance Pourtale, Kamal Haasan and Jayasudha. Vani Ganapathy, a danseuse appeared only for a dance sequence alongside Haasan, whom she later married in 1978. In 1976, the film was remade in Telugu as America Ammayi.[2]
The film is about two brothers, Mohan and Raja, and their spouses. Sivakumar marries a European girl who admires Tamil culture and tradition. Meanwhile, Raja marries a Tamil girl who is attracted to Western customs.
Melnaattu Marumagal was directed by A. P. Nagarajan,[5] and produced by C. N. Venkatasamy under C. N. V. Movies.[6]

The music was composed by Kunnakudi Vaidyanathan,[7] while the lyrics were written by 'Poovai' Senguttavan, 'Ulandhurpettai' Shanmugam, 'Nellai' Arulmani, 'Tiruchy' Bharathan, Geetha Priyan and Kuyili.[8][9]
Kanthan of Kalki praised the performances of Sivakumar, Kamal Haasan, Poornam Viswanathan but felt none of the songs stay in the mind and called the cinematography as average.[10]
