The first of a crazy comedy series featuring the
enterprising down-but-not-out friends Ramdas
(Mohanlal) and Vijayan (Srinivasan). The two
friends attack each other constantly while
getting into a series of tragi-comic scrapes: they
lose their jobs as peons and then come to grief
as they try to start a dairy business. They finally
give all their money, as well as all they can
borrow, to a shifty employment agent who
promises them jobs in the Gulf but dumps
them in Madras. Things end happily when their
misadventures unintentionally lead the police
to arrest a major smuggling ring, after which
they are rewarded with jobs in the police
department. The well-known filmmaker
I.V. Sasi and his actress-wife Seema appear
briefly as themselves. The enormous success of
this comedy spawned two sequels, Pattana
Praveshanam (1988) and
Akkareakkareakkare (1990).
