Vanaja Girija is a 1994 Indian Tamil-language comedy film directed by Keyaar. The film stars Ramki, Napoleon, Khushbu, and Mohini. It was released on 16 December 1994.[1] The film is a remake of Engamma Sapatham (1974) written by the same writer,[2] and it was remade in Telugu as Mama Bagunnava (1997) with Mohini reprising her role.
The veterinarian Anand and the doctor Raja are brothers. Their father Ramanathan is a rich retired businessman. Vanaja and Girija live with their mother Lakshmi. Their father Shankar has left them when they were young because of Ramanathan. Vanaja and Girija decide to take revenge on Ramanathan by charming his sons.
The music was composed by Ilaiyaraaja (in his 700th film composition).[3] [4]

K. Vijiyan of New Straits Times gave a positive review that the film reminded him of Magalir Mattum and that the director "has managed to exploit most of the scenes in the movie for maximum comic relief".[5] R. P. R. of Kalki praised the humour and acting of actors but found music to be disappointing and praised Keyaar for making a comedy film and succeeding in making viewers laugh.[6]
