Nadodikattu (translation: Country Winds) is a 1987 Malayalam movie starring Mohanlal, Sreenivasan and Shobhana. Scripted by Sreenivasan and directed by Sathyan Anthikkad, it represents popular Malayalam cinema at its best and established the Mohanlal-Sreenivasan combination as one of its most memorable and bankable cinematic pairs.

Nadodikattu drew upon relevant social factors affecting Kerala such as poverty and unemployment, which, along with excellent scripting and comic perfomances, contributed to its runaway success. It gave way to two sequels, Pattana Pravesham and Akkarey Akkarey Akkarey.

The Film

Nadodikattu opens by introducing the two lead protagonists, Dasan and Vijayan, who are employed as ill-paid peons. 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 poorly-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.
