Plot[edit]

Moidukutty Haji returns to his village after marrying for third time. His new wife Aamina is young and beautiful. His other two wives Fathima and Maimuna are really unhappy to see this, but they have no other choice other than to accept it. Aamina was in love in with Abdu. Abdu and Usman enters the village and comes to Moidukutty Haji's house to sell bangles.

Abdu sees Aamina and tries various tricks in order to get into Moidukutty Haji's house, but Moidukutty Haji drives them away. When Abdu was in Gulf, Aamina's wicked father secretly stole all letters sent by Abdu by bribing the postman. Aamina's marriage took place without her acceptance.

    Box office[edit]

    The story of a man who wants his now-married lover back was not taken well by audiences. It also touched upon issues like polygamy and talaq. Hence film received mixed reviews from the critics, and ended as average grosser.[6]

    Critical reception[edit]

    Sify gave a positive review, calling it a "sparkling entertainer" and praised the performances of Mohanlal and Sreenivasan. Also adding, technically it is one of the best films in recent times, praising the cinematography, art direction, songs, lyrics, but criticized the plot in the second half.[7] Chithram wrote that "A fun-filled film with Mohanlal and Sreenivasan trying to recreate their old magic with Jagathy, Salim Kumar, Kochin Haneef and Ganesh Kumar".[8]
