Zachariayude Garbhinikal (English: Pregnant Ladies of Zacharia) is a Malayalam–language comedy-drama film written and directed by Aneesh Anwar. The film narrates the incidents in the life of a gynaecologist and five women who come into his life. Lal appears as the gynaecologist while Rima Kallingal,[1][2] Sanusha, Geetha, Asha Sharreth,[3] and Sandra Thomas play the roles of five pregnant women. Sandra Thomas also produced the film along with her father Thomas Joseph Pattathanam under the banner of Friday Cinema House.[4][5] The film started production in May 2013 from Kochi, Kerala.
The music of a song in the film, "Veyil Chilla", was noted for its similarity to Vangelis' theme "Conquest of Paradise". The film had a relatively new composer duo, Vishnu and Sharath, son and nephew of musician Mohan Sithara.
