Madhura Manohara Moham stars Rajisha Vijayan in a pivotal role; she plays Meera, a character who challenges societal conventions. Rajisha portrays a grey character, which she hasn't attempted much in her filmography. The film depicts events associated with the marriage choices of Meera, who represents the younger generation. Rajisha skillfully conveys the rebellious nature of her character, Meera, while also providing moments of humour.

The film is filled with hilarious situations. It has been applauded for its dark humour and situational comedy, along with the performances of actors Vijayaraghavan, Sharafudheen, Biju Sopanam, Althaf Salim, and Sunil Sukhadha, who generate several laughs. The strong point of the movie is its realistic humour.

Sharafudheen plays Manu, a happy-go-lucky man who does not take responsibility. He is proud of his caste and status in society and represents people who hold regressive values regarding marriage and women's freedom. Sharafudheen's character's approach to comedy in Madhura Manohara Moham is unique, combining both realistic humour and eccentric slapstick comedy.

The film is a satire that explores the themes of casteism, patriarchy, and stereotypical views associated with women. Through dark humour, it addresses social issues without being preachy. The film adopts a satirical tone but, at the same time, takes a middle ground in terms of some topics. Even though the film takes a dig at the caste system, it doesn't take a stand on certain patriarchal and conventional views.
