A buffalo dealer, Rajamanikyam's return to Udayankoil village in Pollachi town is prompted by a will left behind by his step-father and business magnate Rajaratinam Pillai (brilliantly enacted by Sai Kumar). Mammootty is Rajamanikyam or 'Bellary Raja' as he is known in Bellary where he spends the earlier part of his life after being disowned by his own mother. The story unfolds in a village called Udayankoil that nestles near the Tamil Nadu-Kerala border. Debutant director Anwar Rasheed and scriptwriter TA Shahid are partners in this rollicking comedy tale, which has been lapped up whole-heartedly by an admiring public. But Rajamanikyam is the 'mother' of it all. And Mammootty has acted out of his skin, so to say! Of course, he has revealed the flair for comedy earlier too - like in Kottayam Kunjachan and Thaskaraveeran. It is a two-and-a-quarter-hour rollercoaster ride embellished with comedy at its best.
