Nadodikkattu

There will never be any other movie like Nadodikattu. Because, it is entertains, enthralls & intrigues with total determination. The story, plot, cinematography, slapstick, humor and everything is top notch.

Mohanlal & Srinivasan's evergreen duet as suckers who go onto become CID agents, thanks to their fates, are the characters that will blow your mind. The character depth is immense. Their exploits with Thilakan and other cast is terrific. How a serious crime movie churns out humor in every single scene of its running time is sheer mastery. A salute to the creators of this epic movie.

BOTTOM LINE: Watch the trilogy for non-stop enjoyment. Laughter guaranteed.

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES

No anti-social elements involved. Crime is showcased, but is harmless.

One of the greatest movie that came out during the golden era of malayalam movies.

One of the best Malayalam films ever! Its about how Vijayan and Dasan played by Mohanlal and Sreenivasan survive all odds to earn a decent living. It has some of the most remembered scenes in Mal movies like the scene with Gafoor. You will never get tired of this "for the masses film" where disasters that happen to middle class average people are portrayed with humor and how they finally overcome all odds. Mohanlal and Sreenivasan are outrageous laugh riot where Srinivasan has a inferiority complex about his dark, short PDC. Mohanlal hides his complex in a seemingly superiority complex of being tall, handsome and BCOM-first class. Excellent!

The movie is very awesome and really humerous and has a good story too.

Who can forget the famous duo Dasan & Vijayan. Never has a movie launched 2 iconic characters whose relevance continues 2 decades into movie release. Neither can we forget the professional killer Pavanayi or Gafoor ka dost. There are classic movies, epic movies and then Nadodikkattu.

A simple story about 2 guys trying to make a living leading upto them becoming detectives is the theme of the movie. Mohanlal & Sreenivasan play the Dasan & Vijayan duo. They try a variety of business/jobs only to fail each & every time. They then escape to Chennai thinking they are going to Dubai. There begins their adventure with drug cartels, professional killers and police.

Mammukkoya and Captain Raju essay the unforgettable Gafoor and Pavanayi characters. These characters too continue to live in everyday lives of Malayalis. The movie takes a humorous approach to everything - education, drug cartels, malayalis going to dubai, etc.

The number of times one can watch this movie is countless. It is simply a laugh riot right from the beginning to the end. If there is a must watch comedy movie for Malayalis, it is this one!
