One of the greatest movie that came out during the golden era of malayalam movies.
Nadodikkattu (1987) :
Brief Review -
A Fun Riot with Social Relevance. Perhaps, Malayalam Cinema's Best satirical by the time. When i read that Bollywood movie 'Bhagam Bhaag' was an adaption of this, i wasn't much interested. That Priyadarshan's comedy was a mix biriyani of many films and except for slapstick comedy powered by lead trio in the film (supporting cast too), it doesn't offer anything else. Well, it's clear for me now that Bhagam Bhag just took one idea from Nadodikkattu and nothing else is similar. Though, the fact remains still that Bhagam Bhaag similarly stole other ideas from other films to create its storyline. Anyway, Nodadikkattu is a fun riot in great manners, yes for 80s it was too much. After losing their jobs in Kerala, Dasan and Vijayan decide to migrate to the Middle East. But they end up in Tamil Nadu where they are mistaken as two CID officers by a group of smugglers. The film not only makes you laugh for the sake of entertainment but also takes a note of socially relevant topics like unemployment, poverty, corruption and rotten politics. There is nothing in the film that can be hated and even though it comes with a slight touch of cinematic liberty, it still manages to look real. Every time that misidentified CID officers scenes came, i couldn't stop praising the writer for creating such fantastic yet hilarious situations. The humour could have been better but that's not a big issue as it we already had too much to carry for a satire of 80s. Bollywood had couple of films in early 80s and even they lacked the same thing but like i said it's about bringing it first than not bringing at all. Mohanlal, Sreenivasan and Thikanancs trio is perfect in their roles, Shobana looks sweet, writing is absolutely funny, screenplay is little slow in the middle but rest no issues and direction of Sathyan Anthikad is brilliant. Overall, A sweet film with a bitter subject yet it is yummy.
RATING - 8/10*

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!
Comical, nostalgic and endearing Lalettan classic. I've seen this movie several times and just started watching it again recently after a while. While watching, I comment on my favorite scenes throughout the movie. Lalettan and Sreenivasan are the best comic duo of Malayalam Cinema and I love their portrayals as Dasan and Vijayan. Dasan (Lalettan) is my favorite because he's more flirtatious than Vijayan. Dasan has a constant infatuation for young women whereas Vijayan doesn't. I can relate to Dasan as I was very chartismatic with girls in my high school. Dasan is also snobby, conceited and pompous as he's always rubbing it in that he's "B-Com First Class" in Vijayan's face. Dasan and Vijayan can be seen as anti heroes from certain aspects but I still like them. My favorite scene from an image standpoint is where Dasan is wearing a light brown button down shirt in the beginning of the movie. My favorite scenes from a plotline standpoint are the fight scenes. I also love the on screen romance between Lalettan and Shobana as it's classic. This is the best movie of the Dasan and Vijayan triology.

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!
