Director: Sathyan Anthikad

Nadodikattu opens by introducing Dasan and Vijayan, who are employed as ill-paid third class employees of

a private company. A commerce graduate, and proud of that fact, Dasan frequently vents his frustration in

having to serve lesser qualified superiors and having to settle with lesser than what he feels he

deserves in life. Vijayan, his less educated, comic sidekick, is also his roommate and sole friend. Their

relationship is one full of tension, with Dasan taking adopting a superior stance on the account of his

education and good looks, which fiercely rattles Vijayan. Several comic situations later in the film

borrows from this aspect of their characters.
Misfortunes follow them one after other, as they lose their jobs and then fails in a business venture,

when it becomes inevitable that they must escape to Gulf, which is often the favoured haven of Kerala's

unemployed youth . They seek the services of a shady agent, Gafoorkka, who promises to take them to

Dubai. The boat, he claims, goes to California, which he is willing to divert through Dubai - for a

decent sum of money. Dasan and Vijan finds themselves helpless once again, as they are offloaded, not in

the Dubai, but in the eastern side of the Indian Coast - in the city of Chennai. What follows is the

humourous and touching tale of how they struggle to earn a living, while battling off their ever present

misfortunes.
