Ee Parakkum Thalika

Dileep is a king of comedy alongside Lalettan. Unnikrishnan is a suitable name for Dileep. Dileep as Unnikrishnan looks handsome in this movie and I love his look, his sunglasses and his beige shirt. The first big chunk of this movie is comical but then shifts to a more serious vibe as it progresses. I love the comedy scene with Dileep and Harisree Ashokan. I also like the song Parakkum Thalika which is the same title of the film. There's only one fight sequence which is the climax and I love how Dileep fought back instead of just taking the blows and I'm glad he wasn't terribly wounded. Anyway, this movie is a Dileep legacy.

Released in 2001, "Ee Parakkum Thalika" is a Malayalam comedy drama that carved a niche for itself in the hearts of Malayalam audiences. The film's success can be compared to cult classics like "Akkare Akkere," "Boeing Boeing," and "Punjabi House," all known for their hilarious plots and memorable characters.

Even though I haven't rewatched the movie for more than a decade, there are so many iconic scenes which are unforgettable such as retaliation against a mouse who ate the supporting character's passport, the creative multiuse of the bus for work and homemaking, picking up a stranded female who happens to twist everybody's fate mostly in the most epic fashions.

"Ee Parakkum Thalika" is a must-watch for fans of Malayalam comedy films. Its hilarious antics and relatable characters continue to entertain audiences even today.
