In Harihar Nagar (1990) :
Briefl Review -
Insane Comic Features and Frenzy Youth Characterisations by Siddiqui-Lal from this Malayalam Classic will be remembered for years. In Harihar Nagar has to be the most hysterical comedy by Siddiqui-Lal in my opinion. And kindly note that i only meant it for the comedy scenes, not the writing quality or other aspects. The first half is complete madness and then the second half is more about the good writing than laughter and yet it has some terrific funny scenes in between. So, the opening scene is about 4 minutes long with credits and then our four heroes show up. I loved that opening song. A complete humming material for youth audience. Then, these four unemployed men try to impress a new neighbor. Hilarity ensues, until the antagonist puts in an appearance. The kind of connect In Harihar Nagar makes with Youth audience is simply unmatchable because it shows that fun side of youth of our country. What would most of the young chaps do? Of course flirting and smarting over girls and this film is entirely based on this affair. Yes, it becomes a completely different matter later but the beginning or better say the entire first half is all about that attraction towards a girl and using macho tricks to woo her. And what hilarious characters they are. Four guys, each one different from another but with only common factor that they all want a beautiful Girlfriend/Wife. Their tricks, those conflicts, that Linear equation of storytelling and how it totally turns 360° around in the second half is all i say is just brilliant. I don't really think any Multi-starrer heroes comedy can do better than this. Acting, story, screenplay, dialogues, cinematography, music, twists, situations, locations and direction everything here is immensely gorgeous. Thank you so Siddiqui-Lal for giving us the best youth oriented comic features of our time. In one Word, CULT!

The antagonist's primary objective is to recover funds that were stolen by Andrews and subsequently held by Sethu Madhavan, the girl's brother.

It's one of those movies where you will have a goofy smile on your face throughout. It's silly, goofy, ridiculous but oh so funny! It's not a one time watch. You can watch it over and over again and still enjoy this slapstick comedy. I love it.
